First Things First

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 

Andrew first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 

The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures.  

And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God. 

For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. 

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. 

But the Wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 

We love Him, because He first loved us. 

Thou hast left thy first love. 

Remember therefore from when thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works.

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
