G1510–εἰμί–eimi

And for the same reason I sent you a letter so that I might be certain of your desire to do my orders in all things.

ἐστε. este “you are.”

For we are a sweet perfume of Christ to God in those who are getting salvation and in those who are going to destruction;

ἐσμὲν esmen “we are”

For we are not like the great number who make use of the word of God for profit: but our words are true, as from God, being said as before God in Christ.

ἐσμεν esmen “we are”

You yourselves are our letter, whose writing is in our heart, open for every man's reading and knowledge;

ἐστε este “are”

For you are clearly a letter of Christ, the fruit of our work, recorded not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in stone, but in hearts of flesh.

ἐστὲ este “you are”

Not as if we were able by ourselves to do anything for which we might take the credit; but our power comes from God;

ἐσμεν esmen “we are”

Will not the operation of the Spirit have a much greater glory?

ἔσται estai “will be”

Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there the heart is free.

ἐστιν· estin “is;”

But if our good news is veiled, it is veiled from those who are on the way to destruction:

ἔστιν estin “is”ἐστὶν estin “it is”

Because the god of this world has made blind the minds of those who have not faith, so that the light of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not be shining on them.

ἐστιν estin “is”

But we have this wealth in vessels of earth, so that it may be seen that the power comes not from us but from God;

ᾖ ē “may be”

For truly, we who are in this tent do give out cries of weariness, for the weight of care which is on us; not because we are desiring to be free from the body, but so that we may have our new body, and death may be overcome by life.

ὄντες ontes “being”

That is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of peace.

ἦν ēn “was”

And what agreement has the house of God with images? for we are a house of the living God; even as God has said, I will be living among them, and walking with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

ἐσμεν esmen “we are”ἔσομαι esomai “I will be”ἔσονταί esontai “will be”

And will be a Father to you; and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord, the Ruler of all.

ἔσομαι esomai “I will be”ἔσεσθέ esesthe “will be”

It is not with the purpose of judging you that I say this: for I have said before that you are in our hearts for life and death together.

ἐστε este “you are”

And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour.

ἐστιν estin “are”

For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.

ὤν, ōn “being,”

And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.

ὄντα, onta “to be,”

But there is no need for me to say anything in my letter about the giving to the saints:

ἐστιν estin “it is”

But I have sent the brothers, so that the good things we said about you may be seen to be true, and that, as I said, you may be ready:

ἦτε, ēte “you may be,”

For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;

ἐστὶν estin “is”

Let those who say this keep in mind that, what we are in word by letters when we are away, so will we be in act when we are present.

ἐσμεν esmen “we are”

For the Lord's approval of a man is not dependent on his opinion of himself, but on the Lord's opinion of him.

ἐστιν estin “is”

As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.

ἔστιν estin “Is”
