G1510–εἰμί–eimi

And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.

ᾖ ē “may be”

This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you--God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.

ἔστιν estin “is”ἐστιν estin “is”ἔστιν estin “is”

But if we live in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.

ἐστιν estin “is”

If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.

ἔστιν estin “is”

If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.

ἐστιν estin “He is”

If we deny that we have sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Message has no place in our hearts.

ἔστιν estin “is”

and He is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

ἐστιν estin “is”

He who professes to know Him, and yet does not obey His commands, is a liar, and the truth has no place in his heart.

ἐστίν, estin “he is,”ἔστιν· estin “is;”

But whoever obeys His Message, in him love for God has in very deed reached perfection. By this we can know that we are in Him.

ἐσμεν. esmen “we are.”

My dearly-loved friends, it is no new command that I am now giving you, but an old command which you have had from the very beginning. By the old command I mean the teaching which you have already received.

ἐστιν estin “is”

And yet I *am* giving you a new command, for such it really is, so far as both He and you are concerned: because the darkness is now passing away and the light, the true light, is already beginning to shine.

ἐστιν estin “is”

Any one who professes to be in the light and yet hates his brother man is still in darkness.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

He who loves his brother man continues in the light, and his life puts no stumbling-block in the way of others.

ἔστιν. estin “there is.”

But he who hates his brother man is in darkness and is walking in darkness; and he does not know where he is going--because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one.

ἐστε este “you are”

Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father.

ἔστιν estin “is”

For the things in the world--the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life--they all come, not from the Father, but from the world.

ἔστιν estin “is”ἐστίν. estin “is.”

Dear children, the last hour has come; and as you once heard that there was to be an anti-Christ, so even now many anti-Christs have appeared. By this we may know that the last hour has come.

ἐστίν, estin “it is,”ἐστίν. estin “it is.”

They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us.

ἦσαν ēsan “they were”ἦσαν, ēsan “they were being”εἰσὶν eisin “they are”

I have written to you, not because you are ignorant of the truth, but because you know it, and you know that nothing false comes from the truth.

ἔστιν. estin “is.”

Who is a liar compared with him who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who disowns the Father and the Son is the anti-Christ.

ἐστιν estin “is”ἔστιν estin “is”ἐστιν estin “is”

And this is the promise which He Himself has given us--the Life of the Ages.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things--and is true and is no falsehood--you are continuing in union with Hi

ἐστιν estin “is”ἔστιν estin “is”

Since you know that He is righteous, be assured also that the man who habitually acts righteously is a child of His.

ἐστιν, estin “He is,”

See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us--that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us--because it has not known Him.

ἐσμέν. esmen “we are!”
