'Existed' in the Bible

John testified about him and shouted out, "This one was the one about whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, because he existed before me.'"

This is the one about whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is greater than I am, because he existed before me.'

who though he existed in the form of God did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped,

For they deliberately suppress this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water.

"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, since you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created!"

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more.
