searching for what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ made clear within them, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow.

And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to the work of each one, pass the time of your earthly residence in fear,

in order no longer to live in the lusts of men, but in the will of God the remaining time in the flesh.

For the time of life which is past is enough for us to have worked out the will of the nations, having gone on in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, parties, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
