καιρὸς τοῦ

τοῖς πᾶσι χρόνος καὶ καιρὸς τῷ παντὶ πράγματι ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανόν.

καιρὸς τοῦ τεκεῖν καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν,

καιρὸς τοῦ φυτεῦσαι καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ ἐκτῖλαι τὸ πεφυτευμένον,

καιρὸς τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ ἰάσασθαι,

καιρὸς τοῦ καθελεῖν καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ οἰκοδομεῖν,

καιρὸς τοῦ κλαῦσαι καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ γελάσαι,

καιρὸς τοῦ κόψασθαι καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ ὀρχήσασθαι,

καιρὸς τοῦ βαλεῖν λίθους καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ συναγαγεῖν λίθους,

καιρὸς τοῦ περιλαβεῖν καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ μακρυνθῆναι ἀπὸ περιλήψεως,

καιρὸς τοῦ ζητῆσαι καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ ἀπολέσαι,

καιρὸς τοῦ φυλάξαι καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ ἐκβαλεῖν,

καιρὸς τοῦ ρῆξαι καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ ράψαι,

καιρὸς τοῦ σιγᾶν καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ λαλεῖν,  

καιρὸς τοῦ φιλῆσαι καὶ καιρὸς τοῦ μισῆσαι,

καιρὸς πολέμου καὶ καιρὸς εἰρήνης.
