1. All things have their time, and all things under heaven continue during their interval.
2. A time to be born, and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pull up what was planted.
3. A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to tear down, and a time to build up.
4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
5. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
6. A time to gain, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
