G1510–εἰμί–eimi

My defence to those who examine me in this;

ἐστιν estin “is”

for if I may proclaim good news, it is no glorying for me, for necessity is laid upon me, and wo is to me if I may not proclaim good news;

ἔστιν estin “there is”ἐστιν estin “be”

What, then, is my reward? -- that proclaiming good news, without charge I shall make the good news of the Christ, not to abuse my authority in the good news;

ἐστιν estin “is”

for being free from all men, to all men I made myself servant, that the more I might gain;

ὢν ōn “being”

and I became to the Jews as a Jew, that Jews I might gain; to those under law as under law, that those under law I might gain;

ὢν ōn “being”

to those without law, as without law -- (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ) -- that I might gain those without law;

ὢν ōn “being”

And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

ἦσαν ēsan “were”

and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;

ἦν ēn “was”

The cup of the blessing that we bless -- is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break -- is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?

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

because one bread, one body, are we the many -- for we all of the one bread do partake.

ἐσμεν· esmen “we are;”

See Israel according to the flesh! are not those eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?

εἰσίν; eisin “are?”

what then do I say? that an idol is anything? or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything? --

ἐστιν estin “is”ἐστιν; estin “is?”

do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He?

ἐσμεν; esmen “are we?”

and if any one may say to you, `This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' -- do not eat, because of that one who shewed `it', and of the conscience, for the Lord's `is' the earth and its fulness:

ἐστιν, estin “is,”

and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

ἐστιν, estin “is,”

and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,

ἐστιν estin “it is”

for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,

ἐστιν· estin “is;”

for a man is not of a woman, but a woman `is' of a man,

ἐστιν estin “is”

In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?

ἐστὶν estin “is it”

doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?

ἐστιν, estin “it is,”

and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;

ἐστιν; estin “it is?”

ye, then, coming together at the same place -- it is not to eat the Lord's supper;

ἔστιν estin “it is”

and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye -- to the remembrance of me.'

ἐστιν estin “is”

In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink `it' -- to the remembrance of me;'

ἐστὶν estin “is”

so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:

ἔσται estai “will be”
