'Time' in the Bible

I thank my God every time I remember you,

I thank my God, I say, for your cooperation in spreading the Good News, from the time it first came to you even until now.

I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].

I rejoiced greatly in the Lord, that now at last you have renewed your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned about me before, but you had no opportunity to show it.

for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.
