'Short' in the Bible

In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

For if their [present] rejection [of salvation] is for the reconciliation of the world [to God], what will their acceptance [of salvation] be but [nothing less than] life from the dead?

And in a short time the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.
