G1510–εἰμί–eimi

For to this end also I have written, that I might know, by putting you to the test, if as to everything ye are obedient.

ἐστε. este “you are.”

For we are a sweet odour of Christ to God, in the saved and in those that perish:

ἐσμὲν esmen “we are”

For we do not, as the many, make a trade of the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, before God, we speak in Christ.

ἐσμεν esmen “we are”

*Ye* are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read of all men,

ἐστε este “are”

being manifested to be Christ's epistle ministered by us, written, not with ink, but [supplied: the] Spirit of [supplied: the] living God; not on stone tables, but on fleshy tables of [supplied: the] heart.

ἐστὲ este “you are”

not that we are competent of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our competency [supplied: is] of God;

ἐσμεν esmen “we are”

how shall not rather the ministry of the Spirit subsist in glory?

ἔσται estai “will be”

Now the Lord is the Spirit, but where the Spirit of [supplied: the] Lord [supplied: is, there is] liberty.

ἐστιν· estin “is;”

But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;

ἔστιν estin “is”ἐστὶν estin “it is”

in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is [supplied: the] image of God, should not shine forth [supplied: for them].

ἐστιν estin “is”

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:

ᾖ ē “may be”

For indeed we who are in the tabernacle groan, being burdened; while yet we do not wish to be unclothed, but clothed, that [supplied: what is] mortal may be swallowed up by life.

ὄντες ontes “being”

how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation.

ἦν ēn “was”

and what agreement of God's temple with idols? for *ye* are [supplied: the] living God's temple; according as God has said, I will dwell among them, and walk among [supplied: them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.

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

and I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith [supplied: the] Lord Almighty.

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

I do not speak for condemnation, for I have already said that ye are in our hearts, to die together, and live together.

ἐστε este “you are”

and his affections are more abundantly towards you, calling to mind the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

ἐστιν estin “are”

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that *ye* by *his* poverty might be enriched.

ὤν, ōn “being,”

And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved to be of diligent zeal in many things, and now more diligently zealous through the great confidence [supplied: he has] as to you.

ὄντα, onta “to be,”

For concerning the ministration which [supplied: is] for the saints, it is superfluous my writing to you.

ἐστιν estin “it is”

But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect, in order that, as I have said, ye may be prepared;

ἦτε, ēte “you may be,”

Because the ministration of this service is not only filling up the measure of what is lacking to the saints, but also abounding by many thanksgivings to God;

ἐστὶν estin “is”

Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by letters [supplied: when] absent, such also present in deed.

ἐσμεν esmen “we are”

For not *he* that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

ἐστιν estin “is”

[supplied: The] truth of Christ is in me that this boasting shall not be stopped as to me in the regions of Achaia.

ἔστιν estin “Is”
