'Matter' in the Bible

Not that we want to lord it over you in respect of your faith--we do, however, desire to help your joy--for in the matter of your faith you are standing firm.

for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us --

For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

I am giving you my opinion on this matter because it will be helpful to you. Last year you were not only willing to do something, but had already started to do it.

For I do not say this so there would be relief for others and suffering for you, but as a matter of equality.

and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in the matter of this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and to show our readiness:

Avoiding this, that any man should blame us in the matter of this bounty which is ministered by us:

But I sent the brothers so our boasting about you in the matter would not prove empty, and so you would be prepared just as I said.

Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.

And if in the matter of speech I am no orator, yet in knowledge I am not deficient. Nay, we have in every way made that fully evident to you.

But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting.

What I say in this matter of boasting, I don’t speak as the Lord would, but foolishly.

This third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every matter be established.
