'Long' in the Bible

For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

What then [does it matter]? So long as in every way, whether in pretense [for self-promotion] or in all honesty [to spread the truth], Christ is being preached; and in this I rejoice.Yes, and I will rejoice [later as well],

But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

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

I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died;

Therefore, my dear brothers whom I long for, my joy and my victor's crown, this is how you must stand firm in the Lord, dear friends.

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.
