'Present' in the Bible

And are not like Moses, who put a veil on his face, so that the children of Israel might not see clearly to the end of the present order of things:

But [in fact] their minds were hardened [for they had lost the ability to understand]; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed [only] in Christ.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom.

in whom the god of this present age has blinded their unbelieving minds so as to shut out the sunshine of the Good News of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God.

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory;

For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our [immortal, eternal] celestial dwelling,

Therefore we are always confident, and know that while present in the body we are absent from the Lord,

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting people’s sins against them [but canceling them]. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation [that is, restoration to favor with God].

for if the willing mind is present, according to that which any one may have it is well-accepted, not according to that which he hath not;

at the present time your surplus is available for their need, so their abundance may also become available for our need, so there may be equality.

We have also sent with them our brother whom we have often tested in many ways and found to be dedicated. At present he is more dedicated than ever because he has so much confidence in you.

But I myself, Paul, entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ, who, as to appearance, when present am mean among you, but absent am bold towards you;

But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
