G1510–εἰμί–eimi

It is therefore no great thing for his servants also to disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will be in accordance with their actions.

ἔσται estai “will be”

Wise as you yourselves are, you find pleasure in tolerating fools.

ὄντες· ontes “being!”

Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

εἰσιν; eisin “are they?”εἰσιν; eisin “are they?”εἰσιν; eisin “are they?”

Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as if I were out of my mind.) Much more am I His servant; serving Him more thoroughly than they by my labours, and more thoroughly also by my imprisonments, by excessively cruel floggings, and with risk of life many

εἰσιν; eisin “are they?”

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ--He who is blessed throughout the Ages--knows that I am speaking the truth.

ὢν ōn “is being”

If however I should choose to boast, I should not be a fool for so doing, for I should be speaking the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should be led to estimate me more highly than what his own eyes attest, or more highly than what he hears from my l

ἔσομαι esomai “I will be”

In fact I take pleasure in infirmities, in the bearing of insults, in distress, in persecutions, in grievous difficulties--for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

εἰμι. eimi “I am.”

It is foolish of me to write all this, but you have compelled me to do so. Why, you ought to have been my vindicators; for in no respect have I been inferior to these superlatively great Apostles, even though in myself I am nothing.

εἰμι. eimi “I am.”

In what respect, therefore, have you been worse dealt with than other Churches, except that I myself never hung as a dead weight upon you? Forgive the injustice I thus did you!

ἐστιν estin “is it”

If I love you so intensely, am I the less to be loved? Be that as it may: I was not a burden to you. But being by no means scrupulous, I entrapped you, they say!

ἔστω estō “it should be”

Test yourselves to discover whether you are true believers: put your own selves under examination. Or do you not know that Jesus Christ is within you, unless you are insincere?

ἐστὲ este “you are”ἐστίν; estin “is?”ἐστε. este “you are!”

But I trust that you will recognize that we are not insincere.

ἐσμὲν esmen “are”

And our prayer to God is that you may do nothing wrong; not in order that our sincerity may be demonstrated, but that you may do what is right, even though our sincerity may seem to be doubtful.

ὦμεν. ōmen “may appear.”

and it is a joy to us when we are powerless, but you are strong. This we also pray for--the perfecting of your characters.

ἦτε· ēte “may be;”

Finally, brethren, be joyful, secure perfection of character, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace. And then God who gives love and peace will be with you.

ἔσται estai “will be”

For other "Good News" there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning Christ.

ἔστιν estin “is”εἰσιν eisin “there are”

But if even we or an angel from Heaven should bring you a Good News different from that which we have already brought you, let him be accursed.

ἔστω. estō “he should be.”

What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.

ἔστω. estō “he should be.”

For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.

ἤμην. ēmēn “I was being.”

For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.

ἔστιν estin “it is”

But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown.

ἤμην ēmēn “I was”

They only heard it said, "He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc."

ἦσαν ēsan “they were”

But although my companion Titus was a Greek they did not insist upon even his being circumcised.

ὤν, ōn “being,”

From those leaders I gained nothing new. Whether they were men of importance or not, matters nothing to me--God recognizes no external distinctions. To me, at any rate, the leaders imparted nothing new.

ἦσαν ēsan “they were”

Now when Peter visited Antioch, I remonstrated with him to his face, because he had incurred just censure.

ἦν. ēn “he was standing.”
