And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,

But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.

And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.

And when they had been without food for a long time, Paul got up among them and said, Friends, it would have been better if you had given attention to me and not gone sailing out from Crete, to undergo this damage and loss.

And they let down the lead, and saw that the sea was a hundred and twenty feet deep; and after a little time they did it again and it was ninety feet.

But they had the idea that they would see him becoming ill, or suddenly falling down dead; but after waiting a long time, and seeing that no damage came to him, changing their opinion, they said he was a god.

Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval;

For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.

What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.

And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future.

And not only so, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we have sorrow in our minds, waiting for the time when we will take our place as sons, that is, the salvation of our bodies.

For this is the word of God's undertaking, At this time will I come, and Sarah will have a son.

What if God, desiring to let his wrath and his power be seen, for a long time put up with the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction:

In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.

For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,

See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.

For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.

Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.

But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;

Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.

For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.

Then by more than five hundred brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, but some are sleeping;

And last of all, as by one whose birth was out of the right time, he was seen by me.

But I may be with you for a time, or even for the winter, so that you may see me on my way, wherever I go.

For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.

You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.

But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.

For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:

For if the order which was for a time had its glory, much more will the eternal order have its glory.

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

While our minds are not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are for a time; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

(For he says, I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation):

For though my letter gave you pain, I have no regret for it now, though I had before; for I see that the letter gave you pain, but only for a time.

And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;

This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.

It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.

This is the third time that I am coming to you. From the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be made certain.

I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;

Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

But is under keepers and managers till the time fixed by the father.

But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

But at that time, having no knowledge of God, you were servants to those who by right are no gods:

But you have knowledge that with a feeble body I was preaching the good news to you the first time;

And let us not get tired of well-doing; for at the right time we will get in the grain, if we do not give way to weariness.

From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.

Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.

But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

For you at one time were dark, but now are light in the Lord: let your behaviour be that of children of light

Making good use of the time, because the days are evil.

Be wise in your behaviour to those who are outside, making good use of the time.

For it is common knowledge among you that we never made use of smooth-sounding false words, and God is witness that at no time were we secretly desiring profit for ourselves,

But we, my brothers, being away from you for a short time, in body but not in heart, had all the more desire to see your face;

And now it is clear to you what is keeping back his revelation till the time comes for him to be seen.

Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;

But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.

Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Making ready for themselves a safe place for the time to come, so that the true life may be theirs.

I give praise to God, whose servant I have been, with a heart free from sin, from the time of my fathers, because in my prayers at all times the thought of you is with me, night and day

For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them;

In the hope of eternal life, which was made certain before eternal time, by the word of God who is ever true;

Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher;

For it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever;

To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?

For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

And though by this time it would be right for you to be teachers, you still have need of someone to give you teaching about the first simple rules of God's revelation; you have become like babies who have need of milk, and not of solid food.

As for those who at one time saw the light, tasting the good things from heaven, and having their part in the Holy Spirit,

With knowledge of the good word of God, and of the powers of the coming time,

And then let themselves be turned away, it is not possible for their hearts to be made new a second time; because they themselves put the Son of God on the cross again, openly shaming him.

And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.

Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

The Holy Spirit witnessing by this that the way into the holy place had not at that time been made open, while the first Tent was still in being;

And this is an image of the present time; when the offerings which are given are not able to make the heart of the worshipper completely clean,

Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.

For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

And has been waiting there from that time, till all who are against him are made a foot-rest for his feet.

In a very little time he who is coming will come; he will not be slow.

By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith.

Feeling that it was better to undergo pain with the people of God, than for a short time to have a taste of the pleasures of sin;

What more am I to say? For there would not be time to give the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets:

For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.

At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.

Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.

For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.

When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.
