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