G1510–εἰμί–eimi

My answer to those who are judging me is this.

ἐστιν estin “is”

For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

ἔστιν estin “there is”ἐστιν estin “be”

What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.

ἐστιν estin “is”

For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation.

ὢν ōn “being”

And to the Jews I was as a Jew, so that I might give the good news to them; to those under the law I was the same, not as being myself under the law, but so that I might give the good news to those under the law.

ὢν ōn “being”

To those without the law I was as one without the law, not as being without law to God, but as under law to Christ, so that I might give the good news to those without the law.

ὢν ōn “being”

For it is my desire, my brothers, that you may keep in mind how all our fathers were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea;

ἦσαν ēsan “were”

And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.

ἦν ēn “was”

The cup of blessing which we take, does it not give us a part in the blood of Christ? and is not the broken bread a taking part in the body of Christ?

ἐστὶν estin “it is”ἐστιν; estin “it is?”

Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.

ἐσμεν· esmen “we are;”

See Israel after the flesh: do not those who take as food the offerings of the altar take a part in the altar?

εἰσίν; eisin “are?”

Do I say, then, that what is offered to images is anything, or that the image is anything?

ἐστιν estin “is”ἐστιν; estin “is?”

Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?

ἐσμεν; esmen “are we?”

But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:

ἐστιν, estin “is,”

But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

ἐστιν, estin “is,”

But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.

ἐστιν estin “it is”

For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

ἐστιν· estin “is;”

For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.

ἐστιν estin “is”

Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

ἐστὶν estin “is it”

Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

ἐστιν, estin “it is,”

But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a covering.

ἐστιν; estin “it is?”

But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

ἔστιν estin “it is”

And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

ἐστιν estin “is”

In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.

ἔσται estai “will be”
