'First' in the Bible

For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart--a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells in you also.

The harvestman who labours in the field must be the first to get a share of the crop.

At my first defence I had no one at my side, but all deserted me. May it not be laid to their charge.
