[[G1510]] (eimí), and its counterparts, (properly) convey "straight-forward" being (existence, i.e. without explicit limits). - [[G1510]] /eimí ("is, am") – in the present tense, indicative mood – can be time-inclusive ("omnitemporal," like the Hebrew imperfect tense). Only the context indicates whether the present tense also has "timeless" implications. For example, [[G1510]] (eimí) is aptly used in Christ's great "I am" (ego eimi . . . ) that also include His eternality (self-existent life) as our life, bread, light," etc. See [[John_07|John 7.34]], [[John_08|John 8.58]], etc. - Example: [[John_14|John 14.6]]: "I am ([[G1510]] /eimí) the way, the truth and the life." Here [[G1510]] (eimí) naturally accords with the fact Christ is eternal – meaning "I am (was, will be)." The "I am formula (Gk egō eimi)" harks back to God's only name, "Yahweh" (OT/[[H3068]], "the lord") – meaning "He who always was, is, and will be." Compare [[John_08|John 8.58]] with [[Exodus_03|Exodus 3.14]]. See also [[Revelation_04|Revelation 4.8]] and [[G2962]] /kýrios ("Lord"). #### Blue Letter Bible - Outline - #### Blue Letter Bible - Strong's Definition - #### Blue Letter Bible - Vines - --- #### Transliteration Details - --- #### Date - Initial - 2019.10.31 - Revised - 2023.09.01 ---
