Now while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews attacked Paul together and brought him before the judgment seat,

Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, arrived in Ephesus. He was an eloquent speaker, well-versed in the scriptures.

(Now there were about twelve men in all.)

(Now seven sons of a man named Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were doing this.)

Now after all these things had taken place, Paul resolved to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. He said, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

(Now there were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting.)

And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem without knowing what will happen to me there,

"And now I know that none of you among whom I went around proclaiming the kingdom will see me again.

And now I entrust you to God and to the message of his grace. This message is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

They have been informed about you -- that you teach all the Jews now living among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs.

"Brothers and fathers, listen to my defense that I now make to you."

And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and have your sins washed away, calling on his name.'

So now you and the council request the commanding officer to bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine his case by conducting a more thorough inquiry. We are ready to kill him before he comes near this place."

So do not let them persuade you to do this, because more than forty of them are lying in ambush for him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink anything until they have killed him, and now they are ready, waiting for you to agree to their request."

While Paul was discussing righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, "Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity, I will send for you."

Now three days after Festus arrived in the province, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

Now all the Jews know the way I lived from my youth, spending my life from the beginning among my own people and in Jerusalem.

And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our ancestors,

And now I advise you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only the ship will be lost.

Now the soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners so that none of them would escape by swimming away.

Now in the region around that place were fields belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us hospitably as guests for three days.

and I always ask in my prayers, if perhaps now at last I may succeed in visiting you according to the will of God.

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.

Now we know that God's judgment is in accordance with truth against those who practice such things.

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed --

Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation.

Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from God's wrath.

Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.

Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more,

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

(I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

So what benefit did you then reap from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death.

But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.

But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.

But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me.

Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.

For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers together until now.

For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?

For this is what the promise declared: "About a year from now I will return and Sarah will have a son."

Now if their transgression means riches for the world and their defeat means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration bring?

Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and participated in the richness of the olive root,

Just as you were formerly disobedient to God, but have now received mercy due to their disobedience,

so they too have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy.

And do this because we know the time, that it is already the hour for us to awake from sleep, for our salvation is now nearer than when we became believers.

Now receive the one who is weak in the faith, and do not have disputes over differing opinions.

Now may the God of endurance and comfort give you unity with one another in accordance with Christ Jesus,

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in him, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

But now there is nothing more to keep me in these regions, and I have for many years desired to come to you

But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join fervently with me in prayer to God on my behalf.

Now may the God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

Now I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them!

Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that had been kept secret for long ages,

but now is disclosed, and through the prophetic scriptures has been made known to all the nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith --

Now I mean this, that each of you is saying, "I am with Paul," or "I am with Apollos," or "I am with Cephas," or "I am with Christ."

Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.

Now what is sought in stewards is that one be found faithful.

when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world's dirt and scum, even now.

But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

Now God indeed raised the Lord and he will raise us by his power.

Now with regard to the issues you wrote about: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman."

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified because of the wife, and the unbelieving wife because of her husband. Otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

Now food will not bring us close to God. We are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do.

Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

Now when you come together at the same place, you are not really eating the Lord's Supper.

Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit.

So now there are many members, but one body.

Now you are Christ's body, and each of you is a member of it.

But you should be eager for the greater gifts. And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison.

For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I help you unless I speak to you with a revelation or with knowledge or prophecy or teaching?

Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand,

Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

Now when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will happen, "Death has been swallowed up in victory."

For I do not want to see you now in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I am too.

With regard to our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was simply not his intention to come now. He will come when he has the opportunity.

Now, brothers and sisters, you know about the household of Stephanus, that as the first converts of Achaia, they devoted themselves to ministry for the saints. I urge you

Now I appeal to God as my witness, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

so that now instead you should rather forgive and comfort him. This will keep him from being overwhelmed by excessive grief to the point of despair.

Now when I arrived in Troas to proclaim the gospel of Christ, even though the Lord had opened a door of opportunity for me,

Now we have such confidence in God through Christ.

For indeed, what had been glorious now has no glory because of the tremendously greater glory of what replaced it.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom.

Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.

So then from now on we acknowledge no one from an outward human point of view. Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, now we do not know him in that way any longer.

Now because we are fellow workers, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

For he says, "I heard you at the acceptable time, and in the day of salvation I helped you." Look, now is the acceptable time; look, now is the day of salvation!

Now as a fair exchange -- I speak as to my children -- open wide your hearts to us also.
