New Testament

Ecclesiastes 3:1-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. There is a time for everything. There's a time for everything that is done on earth.

2. There is a time to be born. And there's a time to die. There is a time to plant. And there's a time to pull up what is planted.

3. There is a time to kill. And there's a time to heal. There is a time to tear down. And there's a time to build up.

4. There is a time to cry. And there's a time to laugh. There is a time to be sad. And there's a time to dance.

5. There is a time to scatter stones. And there's a time to gather them. There is a time to hug. And there's a time not to hug.

6. There is a time to search. And there's a time to stop searching. There is a time to keep. And there's a time to throw away.
