Exegesis
The present copula estin {ἐστιν | és-tin} affirms that God’s reign is a current reality for the audience. Both translations reflect this: the formal emphasizes communal presence “in your midst,” and the dynamic underscores the kingdom’s immediate reality among them.
In context — Luke 17:21
Nor will they say, “Behold, here,” or, “There.” For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst .
