G1510–εἰμί–eimi

You are conscious that when you were Gentiles, in whatever way you were guided, you went after images without voice or power.

ἦτε ēte “you were”

Now there are different qualities given to men, but the same Spirit.

εἰσίν, eisin “there are,”

And there are different sorts of servants, but the same Lord.

εἰσιν, eisin “there are,”

And there are different operations, but the same God, who is working all things in all.

εἰσίν, eisin “there are,”ἐστιν estin “is”

For as the body is one, and has a number of parts, and all the parts make one body, so is Christ.

ἐστιν estin “is”ὄντα onta “being”ἐστιν estin “are”

For the body is not one part, but a number of parts.

ἔστιν estin “is”

If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; it is no less a part of the body.

εἰμὶ eimi “I am”εἰμὶ eimi “I am”ἔστιν estin “is it”

And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; it is a part of the body all the same.

εἰμὶ eimi “I am”εἰμὶ eimi “I am”ἔστιν estin “is it”

And if they were all one part, where would the body be?

ἦν ēn “were”

No, those parts which seem to be feeble are the more necessary;

ἐστιν, estin “are,”

So that there might be no division in the body; but all the parts might have the same care for one another.

ᾖ ē “there may be”

Now you are the body of Christ, and every one of you the separate parts of it.

ἐστε este “are”

And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing.

εἰμι. eimi “I am.”

When I was a child, I made use of a child's language, I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child.

ἤμην ēmēn “I was”

So if you, in using a strange tongue, say words which have no sense, how will anyone take in what you are saying? for you will be talking to the air.

ἔσεσθε esesthe “You will be”

There are, it may be, a number of different voices in the world, and no voice is without sense.

εἰσιν eisin “there are”

But if the sense of the voice is not clear to me, I am like a man from a strange country to him who is talking, and he will be the same to me.

ἔσομαι esomai “I will be”

So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.

ἐστε este “you are”

For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind.

ἐστιν. estin “is.”

What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.

ἐστιν; estin “is it?”

For this reason tongues are for a sign, not to those who have faith, but to those who have not: but the prophet's word is for those who have faith, and not for the rest who have not.

εἰσιν eisin “are”

The secrets of his heart are made clear; and he will go down on his face and give worship to God, saying that God is truly among you.

ἐστιν. estin “is.”

What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

ἐστιν, estin “is it,”

But if there is no one to give the sense, let him keep quiet in the church; and let his words be to himself and to God.

ᾖ ē “there shall be”

For God is not a God whose ways are without order, but a God of peace; as in all the churches of the saints.

ἐστιν estin “He is”
