'Time' in the Bible

in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

In His own time He has revealed His message in the proclamation that I was entrusted with by the command of God our Savior:

training us to renounce ungodliness and all the pleasures of this world, and to live sober, upright, and pious lives at the present time,

For there was a time when we also were deficient in understanding, obstinate, deluded, the slaves of various cravings and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.

After a first and second warning reject a divisive man [who promotes heresy and causes dissension—ban him from your fellowship and have nothing more to do with him],

When I send Artemas or [perhaps] Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.
