But when I saw that they went not the right way after the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter, before all men, "If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the gentiles, and not as do the Jews: why causest thou the gentiles to live as do the Jews?"

O foolish Galatians: who hath bewitched you, that ye should not believe the truth, to whom Jesus Christ was described before the eyes, and among you crucified?

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

And it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, because the just shall live by faith,

And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Before that faith came, we were kept and shut up under the law, unto the faith which should afterward be declared.

but he is under guardians and housemasters until the term appointed before by the father.

But now that ye know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that ye turn again to the poor weak elements, to which ye desire again to be in bondage as before?

But you know that through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you before,

envying, murder, drunkenness, gluttony, and such like. Of the which I tell you before, as I have told you in time past, that they which commit such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

according as he had chosen us in him through love, before the foundation of the world was laid, that we should be saints, and without blame before him, through love.

And ordained us before unto himself that we should be chosen before, through Jesus Christ, to be heirs unto himself according to the pleasure of his will,

having made known to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure, which He had before purposed in Himself:

It is by him, that we have a share in the inheritance, which was before allotted to us, in consequence of his design, who executes the whole plan, as he himself had contriv'd it:

that we should be unto the praise of his glory, which before believed in Christ.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

and how by revelation the secret was made known to me, as I have briefly written before.

For this reason I kneel before the Father,

There is but one Body and one Spirit, just as there was but one hope set before you when you received your Call.

For you ought to put off the old man (according to your way of living before) who is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

in order to have the church as his very own, standing before him in all her glory, with never a spot or wrinkle or any such flaw, but consecrated and unblemished.

And masters, treat your slaves in the same spirit. Give up threatening them; for you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in Heaven, and that before him there is no distinction of rank.

So it is right for me to take thought for you all in this way, because I have you in my heart; for in my chains, and in my arguments before the judges in support of the good news, making clear that it is true, you all have your part with me in grace.

Moreover, because of my imprisonment the Lord has caused most of the brothers to become confident to speak God's word more boldly and courageously than ever before.

Those who do it out of love [for me] know that I am prepared to defend the Gospel [i.e., before government authorities].

Never for a moment falter before your opponents, for your fearlessness will be a sure sign for them of their coming destruction, but to you it will be an omen, from God himself, of your deliverance.

so that before the Name of Jesus every knee should bend in heaven, on earth, and underneath the earth,

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be of good comfort when I learn the news concerning you.

I hope to send him then, as soon as ever I see how it will go with me ??24 though I am confident in the Lord that I shall be coming myself before long.

But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

In conclusion, my brethren, be joyful in the Lord. For me to give you the same warnings as before is not irksome to me, while so far as you are concerned it is a safe precaution.

Brethren, I count not myself that I have gotten it: but one thing I say: I forget that which is behind me, and stretch myself unto that which is before me;

but one thing I do; forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to those which are before, I press toward the goal, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

But, at what we before arrived, to walk by the same rule, to think the same.

For there are those, of whom I have given you word before, and do so now with sorrow, who are haters of the cross of Christ;

Be anxious in nothing: but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known before God.

I rejoiced greatly in the Lord, that your care for me has now flourished again; for whom ye were indeed careful before, but ye wanted opportunity.

for the hope's sake which is laid up in store for you in heaven, of which hope ye have heard before by the true word of the gospel,

of which ye heard before in the word of truth, Which is come to you, as also it is in all the world, and bringeth forth fruit, as it hath done likewise among you, from the day ye heard it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

Yes, He is the exact likeness of the unseen God, His first-born Son who existed before any created thing,

for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are on earth, both visible and invisible, the thrones, and the sovereigntys, the principalitys, and the powers: all were created by him, and for him: he is before all things,

and HE IS before all, and in him all things subsist.

in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself,

This is the Christ we proclaim; we train everyone and teach everyone the full scope of this knowledge, in order to set everyone before God mature in Christ;

At the same time also pray for us that God would open before us a door for the word so that we may tell the secret about the Messiah, for which I have been imprisoned.

And when this letter is read before you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter of Laodicea.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance to you, that it was not in vain: But even after we had suffered before,

but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.

But as God tested and approved us before entrusting us with His Good News, so in what we say we are seeking not to please men but to please God, who tests and approves our motives.

Hindering us from speaking to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: and the wrath of God has come before upon them even to the end.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is not it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

For verily when I was with you, I told you before that we should suffer tribulation even as it came to pass, and as ye know.

For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;

to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

that no man go too far and defraud his brother in bargaining, because the Lord is avenger of all such things: as we told you before time, and testified unto you.

In this way you will live a decent life before outsiders and not be in need.

And this say we unto you in the word of the Lord, that we which live and are remaining in the coming of the Lord, shall not come before they which sleep.

But we intreat you, brethren, to know those who are laboring among you, and standing before you in the Lord, and admonishing you;

I solemnly charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.

So much is this the case that we ourselves speak with pride, before the Churches of God, of the patience and faith which you have shown, in spite of all the persecutions and troubles that you are enduring.

As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our final muster before Him, we beg you, brothers,

So now you know what it is that is holding him back from making his appearance before the appointed time arrives.

although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

for this is right and acceptable before God our Saviour,

I am writing these things to you, though I am hoping to come to you before long;

If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:

If any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to rule their own houses godly, and to recompense their elders. For that is good and acceptable before God.

whereas the widow who plunges into dissipation is dead before ever she dies.

for which they are much to be condemn'd, because they violate the engagements they had before enter'd into:

Let the elders who stand before the people beautifully, be considered worthy of double remuneration, especially those laboring in the word and teaching.

Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.

Do not be in a hurry to lay hands on anyone [i.e., to appoint them to office. See 4:14], and do not participate in the sins of other people. [Note: If Timothy failed to carefully determine the qualifications of a prospective elder before appointing him, it would make him partially responsible for any wrongdoing by that elder]. Keep yourself pure [i.e., of involvement in anyone's sins].

The sins of some men are clearly seen, going before them to be judged; but with others, their sins go after them.

Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hand on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

As your example in wholesome instruction, keep before you what you learned from me, in the faith and love that come through union with Christ Jesus.

And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.

The husbandman must labour before partaking of the fruits.

Keep before your mind Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David, as told in the Good News entrusted to me;

Put these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their hearers.

Be diligent to present thyself before God approved, a workman that need not blush, rightly dividing the word of truth.

I command you therefore before God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his Kingdom:

Do your best to come to me before long:

At my first defense [Note: Paul here refers to his initial hearing before the Roman court] no one supported me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.

Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. {The end of the Second Epistle unto Timothy, Written from Rome, when Paul was presented the second time up before the Emperor Nero}

in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began;

But of the time when he is to bring his firstborn Son back to the world he says, "And let all God's angels bow before him."

Are not all angels spirits that serve Him--whom He sends out to render service for the benefit of those who, before long, will inherit salvation?

Saying, I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers, I will make a song of praise to you before the church.

Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein, and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

For every high priest is taken from among the people and appointed to represent them before God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
