'Formerly' in the Bible

in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands—

But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light
