'Even' in the Bible

But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.

For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews;

But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn't it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.

But when Timothy came just now to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you;

and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,

not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God;

and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
