| 1 John 4:2 | This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) from God, |
| 1 John 4:3 | but every spirit that does not confess Jesus is (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) not from God. This is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard was coming, and now is (estin | ἐστίν | pres act ind 3 sg) already in the world. |

| 1 John 4:6 | We are (esmen | ἐσμεν | pres act ind 1 pl) from God. The person who knows God listens to us, but whoever is (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error. |
| 1 John 4:7 | Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. |
| 1 John 4:8 | The person who does not love does not know God, because God is (estin | ἐστίν | pres act ind 3 sg) love. |

| 1 John 4:17 | By this, love is fully realized among us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because just as he is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg), so also are (esmen | ἐσμεν | pres act ind 1 pl) we in this world. |
| 1 John 4:18 | There (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) is (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. So the one who fears has not been perfected in love. |

| 1 John 5:3 | For this is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are (eisin | εἰσίν | pres act ind 3 pl) not burdensome, |
| 1 John 5:4 | because everyone who has been born of God conquers the world. And this is (estin | ἐστίν | pres act ind 3 sg) the victorious power that has conquered the world — our faith. |

And the Spirit is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) the one who testifies, because the Spirit is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) the truth. |
| 1 John 5:7 | For there (eisin | εἰσιν | pres act ind 3 pl) are (eisin | εἰσιν | pres act ind 3 pl) three that testify: |
| 1 John 5:8 | the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are (eisin | εἰσιν | pres act ind 3 pl) in accord. |
| 1 John 5:9 | If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is (estin | ἐστίν | pres act ind 3 sg) greater, because this is (estin | ἐστίν | pres act ind 3 sg) the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son. |
