G1510–εἰμί–eimi

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. But we know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

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

Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

ἐστιν. estin “is.”

Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and in him is no sin.

ἔστιν. estin “there is.”

Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

ἐστιν estin “is”ἐστιν. estin “is.”

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

ἐστίν, estin “is,”

In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn't do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn't love his brother.

ἐστιν estin “are”ἔστιν estin “is”

For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

ἐστὶν estin “is”

unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

ἦν ēn “was”ἦν, ēn “were,”

Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.

ἐστίν· estin “is;”

And by this we know that we are of the truth, and persuade our hearts before him,

ἐσμὲν esmen “we are”

because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

ἐστιν, estin “they are,”

By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

ἐστιν. estin “is.”

and every spirit who doesn't confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.

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

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

ἐστε, este “are,”ἐστὶν estin “is”

They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

εἰσίν· eisin “are;”

We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn't listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

ἐσμεν· esmen “are;”ἔστιν estin “is”

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

ἐστιν estin “is”

He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.

ἐστίν. estin “is.”

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

ἐστίν. estin “is.”

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

ἐστιν estin “is”

We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

ἐστίν, estin “is,”
