John 16:18
King James Version
10 Jun 2026
“They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.”
οὖν
Therefore, then, accordingly. Therefore since we have been justified through faith we have peace with God. The therefore of Scripture always builds on something God has already done.
