G1510–εἰμί–eimi

My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.

ἐσμεν, esmen “are we,”ἐσόμεθα· esometha “we will be;”ἐσόμεθα, esometha “we will be,”ἐστιν. estin “He is.”

And everyone who has this hope in him makes himself holy, even as he is holy.

ἐστιν. estin “is.”

Everyone who is a sinner goes against the law, for sin is going against the law.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

And you have knowledge that he came to take away sin: and in him there is no sin.

ἔστιν. estin “there is.”

My little children, let no man take you out of the true way: he who does righteousness is upright, even as he is upright;

ἐστιν estin “is”ἐστιν. estin “is.”

The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.

ἐστίν, estin “is,”

In this way it is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the Evil One; anyone who does not do righteousness or who has no love for his brother, is not a child of God.

ἐστιν estin “are”ἔστιν estin “is”

Because this is the word which was given to you from the first, that we are to have love for one another;

ἐστὶν estin “is”

Not being of the Evil One like Cain, who put his brother to death. And why did he put him to death? Because his works were evil and his brother's works were good.

ἦν ēn “was”ἦν, ēn “were,”

Anyone who has hate for his brother is a taker of life, and you may be certain that no taker of life has eternal life in him.

ἐστίν· estin “is;”

In this way we may be certain that we are true, and may give our heart comfort before him,

ἐσμὲν esmen “we are”

When our heart says that we have done wrong; because God is greater than our heart, and has knowledge of all things.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

And this is his law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said to us.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.

ἐστιν, estin “they are,”

By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

ἐστιν. estin “is.”

And every spirit which does not say this is not from God: this is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you have had word; and it is in the world even now.

ἔστιν· estin “is;”ἐστιν estin “is”ἐστὶν estin “is”

You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

ἐστε, este “are,”ἐστὶν estin “is”

They are of the world, so their talk is the world's talk, and the world gives ear to them.

εἰσίν· eisin “are;”

We are of God: he who has the knowledge of God gives ear to us; he who is not of God does not give ear to us. By this we may see which is the true spirit, and which is the spirit of error.

ἐσμεν· esmen “are;”ἔστιν estin “is”

My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

ἐστιν estin “is”

He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is love.

ἐστίν. estin “is.”

And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

No man has ever seen God: if we have love for one another, God is in us and his love is made complete in us:

ἐστίν. estin “is.”

Everyone who says openly that Jesus is the Son of God, has God in him and is in God.

ἐστιν estin “is”

And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.

ἐστίν, estin “is,”
