G1510–εἰμί–eimi

ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols -- as ye were led -- being carried away;

ἦτε ēte “you were”

And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;

εἰσίν, eisin “there are,”

and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord;

εἰσιν, eisin “there are,”

and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.

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

For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also `is' the Christ,

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

for also the body is not one member, but many;

ἔστιν estin “is”

if the foot may say, `Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body;

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

and if the ear may say, `Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body?

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

and if all were one member, where the body?

ἦν ēn “were”

But much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm are necessary,

ἐστιν, estin “are,”

that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,

ᾖ ē “there may be”

and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

ἐστε este “are”

and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

εἰμι. eimi “I am.”

When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;

ἤμην ēmēn “I was”

so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood ye may not give -- how shall that which is spoken be known? for ye shall be speaking to air.

ἔσεσθε esesthe “You will be”

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning,

εἰσιν eisin “there are”

if, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner, and he who is speaking, is to me a foreigner;

ἔσομαι esomai “I will be”

so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound;

ἐστε este “you are”

for if I pray in an `unknown' tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my understanding is unfruitful.

ἐστιν. estin “is.”

What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing psalms with the spirit, and I will sing psalms also with the understanding;

ἐστιν; estin “is it?”

so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy `is' not for the unbelieving, but for the believing,

εἰσιν eisin “are”

and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon `his' face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.

ἐστιν. estin “is.”

What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;

ἐστιν, estin “is it,”

and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God.

ᾖ ē “there shall be”

for God is not `a God' of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

ἐστιν estin “He is”
