G1510–εἰμί–eimi

for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.

ἐστε. este “you are.”

because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those being saved, and in those being lost;

ἐσμὲν esmen “we are”

for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity -- but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak.

ἐσμεν esmen “we are”

our letter ye are, having been written in our hearts, known and read by all men,

ἐστε este “are”

manifested that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the heart,

ἐστὲ este “you are”

not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency `is' of God,

ἐσμεν esmen “we are”

how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory?

ἔσται estai “will be”

And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord `is', there `is' liberty;

ἐστιν· estin “is;”

and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,

ἔστιν estin “is”ἐστὶν estin “it is”

in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

ἐστιν estin “is”

And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;

ᾖ ē “may be”

for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life.

ὄντες ontes “being”

how that God was in Christ -- a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,

ἦν ēn “was”

and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said -- `I will dwell in them, and will walk among `them', and I will be their God, and they shall be My 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 -- ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'

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

not to condemn you do I say `it', for I have said before that in our hearts ye are to die with and to live with;

ἐστε este “you are”

and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive him;

ἐστιν estin “are”

for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor -- being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

ὤν, ōn “being,”

and we sent with them our brother, whom we proved in many things many times being diligent, and now much more diligent, by the great confidence that is toward you,

ὄντα, onta “to be,”

For, indeed, concerning the ministration that `is' for the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you,

ἐστιν estin “it is”

and I sent the brethren, that our boasting on your behalf may not be made vain in this respect; that, according as I said, ye may be ready,

ἦτε, ēte “you may be,”

because the ministration of this service not only is supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

ἐστὶν estin “is”

This one -- let him reckon thus: that such as we are in word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present, `we are' in deed.

ἐσμεν esmen “we are”

for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend.

ἐστιν estin “is”

The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;

ἔστιν estin “Is”
