were before you # 03_LEV_18_27 # [For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which [were] before you, and the land is defiled;] 
were before you # 03_LEV_18_28 # That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that [were] before you. 
were before you # 40_MAT_05_12 # Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
