for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

For this is the word of promise: “At this time I will come, and Sarah shall have a son.”

In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God’s gracious choice.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed.
