If anybody speaks in ecstasy, there must be only two, or three at most, and let one speak at a time, and someone explain what he says.

But if something is revealed [supernaturally, at about the same time] to another person sitting nearby, the first one should finish speaking [i.e., before the second one begins].

For all of you [i.e., who have the gifts], can prophesy, one at a time, so that all of you may learn and be encouraged.

the women should remain quiet in the assemblies. For they are not permitted to speak [i.e., in a language supernaturally, or to prophesy], but they are to be in subjection [i.e., to male leaders. See I Tim. 2:11-12], as the law also says. [See Gen. 3:16?].

Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time;
most of them are still alive,
but some have fallen asleep.

And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

You fool! Every time you plant seed you sow something that does not come to life [germinating, springing up and growing] unless it first dies.

But when this [body] that can decay has been clothed with one which cannot decay, and this [body] that can die has been clothed with one which cannot die, then the Scriptural saying will be fulfilled [Isa. 25:8], "Death has been swallowed up [i.e., eliminated] by victory." [Note: The reference here is to the time when believers will experience victory over death by being resurrected or taken directly to be with God].

On the first [day] of the week, each one of you {put aside} [something], saving up {to whatever extent he has prospered}, in order that whenever I come, at that time collections do not take place.

and I shall likely stay over with you some time, or maybe spend the winter with you, so that you may help me on to whatever points I may visit.

For I do not wish to see you, just now, by the way; for I hope to remain, some time, with you, - if, the Lord, permit.

But I shall stay on in Ephesus until the time of Harvest Feast.

About our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but he was not at all willing to come now. However, he will come when he has an opportunity.

You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.

And in this confidence was I minded the other time to have come unto you, that ye might have had yet one pleasure more,

Therefore, [when I] was wanting [to do] this, perhaps then was I making use of vacillation? Or was I deciding what I was deciding according to the flesh, in order that with me my "yes" may be "yes" and my "no" [may be] "no" [at the same time]?

But just as certainly as God is dependable, our message to you is not [both] "yes" and "no" [at the same time].

But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.

But, so far as I am concerned, I have resolved not to have a painful visit the next time I come to see you.

For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:

For if the order which was for a time had its glory, much more will the eternal order have its glory.

For all the time I continue to live I am being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that in my mortal lower nature the life of Jesus may be clearly shown.

For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory;

while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen are for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.

For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

And being also co-laborers we exhort you not to receive the grace of God in vain,??2 for he says, In an acceptable time I heard you, and in a day of salvation I helped you; behold, now is an acceptable time, behold, now is a day of salvation,??3 giving no offense in any thing, that the ministry may not be blamed,

(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

For if indeed I grieved you by my letter, I do not regret [it]. Even if I did regret [it] (I see that that letter grieved you, even though for {a short time}),

It is not my mind that other be set at ease, and ye brought into cumbrance: but that there be equalness now at this time,

but burdens are to be equalized. Now your abundance at this present time present time is a supply for their want, in supply for your want; and so burdens be equalized,

And we have sent at the same time with him the brother whose praise in the gospel [has become known] throughout all the churches.

We are also sending with them another of our Brothers, whose earnestness we have many a time proved in many ways, and whom we now find made even more earnest by his great confidence in you.

At the same time I am sending these brothers just in case my pride in you should prove an empty boast in this particular instance; I want you to be "all ready," as I have been telling them that you would be,

Therefore I thought it necessary to urge these brothers to go to you in advance and to arrange ahead of time the generous contribution you had promised, so this may be ready as a generous gift and not as something you feel forced to do.

Moreover God is able to cause, every gracious gift, to superabound unto you, in order that, having in every thing, at every time, every kind of sufficiency of your own, ye may be superabounding unto every good work;

And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;

Ministers of Christ? yes perhaps, but not as much as I am (I am mad to talk like this!), with all my labours, with all my lashes, with all my time in prison ??a record longer far than theirs. I have been often at the point of death;

in death often. Of the Jews, five times received I, every time, forty stripes, save one.

I have been often on my travels, I have been in danger from rivers and robbers, in danger from Jews and Gentiles, through dangers of town and of desert, through dangers on the sea, through dangers among false brothers ??27 through labour and hardship, through many a sleepless night, through hunger and thirst, starving many a time, cold and ill-clad, and all the rest of it.

And now for the third time I am preparing to visit you. I will not be a burden to you, for I am not seeking yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

Do you think that all this time I am defending myself to you? It is before the presence of God that I am speaking in Christ; and all, beloved, for your upbuilding.

For I am afraid I may perhaps come and find you are not what I could wish, while you may find I am not what you could wish; I am afraid of finding quarrels, jealousy, temper, rivalry, slanders, gossiping, arrogance, and disorder ??21 afraid that when I come back to you, my God may humiliate me before you, and I may have to mourn for many who sinned some time ago and yet have never repented of the impurity, the sexual vice, and the sensuality which they have practised.

This third time, am I coming unto you: - at the mouth of two witnesses, or three, shall every matter be established.

I have said formerly, and I now forewarn you as when I was present the second time, so now when I am absent the second time, so now when I am absent, saying to those who had sinned before, and to all the rest, "If I come again, I will not spare,"

Having given himself for our sins, that he might take us away out of this present evil time, according to the will of God and our Father:

To whom the glory for the time of times. Amen.

For ye have heard, as to my own manner of life, at one time, in Judaism, how that, exceedingly, was I persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste,

to reveal his Son to me so that I might proclaim him among the gentiles, I did not confer with another human being at any time,

[At this time] I was still unknown personally to churches in [the province of] Judea, which are in [fellowship with] Christ.

Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

Then, fourteen years later I went up to Jerusalem again, [along] with Barnabas, and I took Titus also with me [this time].

(I went up at that time in obedience to a revelation). And I laid before them the gospel which I am wont to preach among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those in authority, lest by any means I should be running, or should already have run, in vain.

Moreover, from them who were reputed to be something, - whatsoever at one time, they were, maketh no difference to me, God accepteth not a man's person, - unto me, in fact, they who were of repute added nothing further;

Before certain men came from James, he used to eat [his meals] with the Gentiles; but when the men [from Jerusalem] arrived, he began to withdraw and separate himself [from the Gentile believers], because he was afraid of those from the circumcision.

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time, saying, "All the nations will be blessed in you."

Why, then, the law? Because of the transgressions, it was added, until such time as the seed should come, unto whom the promise had been made, and was given in charge through messengers, at the hand of a mediator;

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster unto the time of Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith.

But I say: - for as long a time as, the heir, is an infant, he differeth, nothing, from a servant, though, lord of all,

but is under the control of guardians and trustees, until the time appointed by his father.

even so we, whilst we were children, were in a state of servitude to the elements of the world. but when the time appointed was accomplished,

But when the fulness of time was come God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under law,

But at that time, having no knowledge of God, you were servants to those who by right are no gods:

But now after having known God, or rather being known of God, how turn ye back again to those weak and beggarly elements, to which again a second time ye desire to be in bondage?

But you have knowledge that with a feeble body I was preaching the good news to you the first time;

Now where are those good feelings you had for me? For I can [honestly] testify that [at one time] you would have even gouged out your eyes and given them to me [for sight] if that had been possible.

Now it is fine for you to be made much of honestly and all the time ??not simply when I can be with you.

But just as at that time the [child] born according to human descent persecuted the [child born] according to the Spirit, so also now.

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.

So then as we have time, let us work what is good toward all men, and especially toward those belonging to a household of the faith.

From this time forth let no one trouble me, for I bear branded in my body the marks of Jesus, my Master.

when the full time of the dispensation was come, to reduce all things both in heaven and on earth, under one head in Christ.

For this reason I also, from the time when I heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and your love to all the saints,

In which at one time ye walked, according to the age of the world, according to the prince of the authority of the air, of the spirit that now energiseth in the sons of disobedience,

Among whom also, we all, had our behaviour, at one time, in the covetings of our flesh, doing the things desired by the flesh and the mind, and were children, by nature, of anger - even as the rest, -

That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

Wherefore, keep in remembrance - that, at one time, ye, the nations in flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by the so-called Circumcision in flesh, made by hand,

remember that at that time you were separated from Christ [excluded from any relationship with Him], alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise [with no share in the sacred Messianic promise and without knowledge of God’s agreements], having no hope [in His promise] and [living] in the world without God.

But, just now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who at one time were afar off, were made nigh in the blood of the Christ;

be praise in the congregation by Jesus Christ, throughout all generations from time to time. Amen.

so then, as concerning the conversation in time past, lay from you that old man, which is corrupt through the deceivable lusts,

For ye were, at one time, darkness, but, now, are ye light in the Lord, - as children of light, be walking,

making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil.

expressing yourselves in psalms, in hymns, and spiritual songs; and let your hearts beat the time, in concerts of praises to the Lord,

For none at any time hates his own flesh; but brings it up and cherishes it, as also the Lord the church:

which is the first command with a promise, 'That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live a long time upon the land.'

praying through every prayer and entreaty at every time in spirit, and being alert in this same thing in all perseverance and entreaty for all the sanctified,

Every time I remember you I thank my God,

from the first day to the present time. being persuaded that

I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].

for I eagerly and confidently hope that I shall never disgrace myself but that this time as always hitherto, living or dying, I shall do Christ credit by my unfailing courage.

which consideration persuades me that I shall abide, and even continue some time with you all, to improve your advancement in the faith, and to promote your joy:

Rejoice in [fellowship with] the Lord all the time. I will say it again: Rejoice!

I rejoiced greatly in the Lord, that now at last you have renewed your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned about me before, but you had no opportunity to show it.

And you at Philippi know, as well as I, that in the early days of the Good News--at the time when I had just left Macedonia--no Church, with the one exception of yourselves, had anything to do with me as far as giving and receiving are concerned.

for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.

Every time we pray for you we thank God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

based on the hope laid up for you in heaven. Some time ago you heard about this hope through the word of truth, the gospel

came among you, to thrive and bear its fruit among you, as it does all over the world, from the time when you first heard about the mercy of God,
