And I was heretofore alive without the law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died:

For as ye were heretofore disobedient to God, but have now obtained mercy in their disobedience:

For whatever things were written heretofore, were written for our instruction; that we through patience and the consolation of the scriptures might have hope.

when I come again, my God should humble me among you, and I should be grieved for many of those who have sinned heretofore, and have not repented of the impurity, and fornication, and lewdness which they have practised.

I said before, and I again tell you beforehand, as if I were present the second time; and being absent I now write to those who have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare:

among whom also we were all conversant heretofore in our carnal desires, indulging the appetites of the flesh and of our imaginations; and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.

For ye were heretofore darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord:

who heretofore were not a people, but are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
