'Already' in the Bible
Is there anything of which one might say,“See this, it is new”?Already it has existed for agesWhich were before us.
So I turned to consider wisdom, madness and folly; for what will the man do who will come after the king except what has already been done?
That which is has been already and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by.
So I congratulated the dead who are already dead more than the living who are still living.
Whatever exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he cannot dispute with him who is stronger than he is.
Indeed their love, their hate and their zeal have already perished, and they will no longer have a share in all that is done under the sun.
Go then, eat your bread in happiness and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works.
