'Already' in the Bible

If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.

My dearly-loved friends, it is no new command that I am now giving you, but an old command which you have had from the very beginning. By the old command I mean the teaching which you have already received.

And yet I *am* giving you a new command, for such it really is, so far as both He and you are concerned: because the darkness is now passing away and the light, the true light, is already beginning to shine.

As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life--because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.

and that no spirit is from God which does not acknowledge this about Jesus. Such is the spirit of the anti-Christ; of whose coming you have heard, and it is already in the world.

I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages.
