| 1Tim.2.1 | First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, |
| 1Tim.2.13 | For Adam was formed first, then Eve; |
| 1Tim.3.10 | And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. |

| 2Tim.4.16 | At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! |
| Heb.2.3 | how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, |

| Heb.9.6 | These preparations having thus been made, the priests go regularly into the first section, performing their ritual duties, |
| Heb.9.8 | By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing |

| Rev.20.5 | The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. |
| Rev.20.6 | Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years. |
| Rev.21.1 | Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. |
| Rev.21.19 | The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, |
