SIBI-P1 G1510-24

he/she/it is (exists)

Rootεἰμί (eimi)
Core Meaningsto be, to exist, to be present, to occur, to happen
Semantic Rangeto be, to exist, to be identical with, to belong to, to be present, to occur, to live, to be available
Conceptual SignificanceAs the fundamental verb of being, εἰμί undergirds statements of identity and existence throughout Scripture. It is central to theological affirmations such as divine self-identification (e.g., "I AM") and declarations about the nature, presence, and reality of God, Messiah, and creation.
Morphological NotesVerb; present tense, active voice, indicative mood; 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IPA3,,S,). It states a present, actual condition or identity of a singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe verb εἰμί fundamentally denotes being or existence. As present active indicative, third person singular (IPA3S), ἐστιν expresses a current, real state of being: "he/she/it is" or "exists." The rendering preserves the present tense (ongoing reality), active voice, and third-person singular form.
