All ocurrences of the word 'first' in the NT, refer to 'the first' or 'formerly'
qad,mayt'a` can mean 'first, fore'.
Now there is 1 Peter 4:4 where we find the same word, were a good rendering would be: "in that you not run riot with them in this former debauchery."
Now, I wonder, if the word qad,mayt'a` also could mean 'before' together with 'former, fore, first'
Is the word mentioned in Acts 5:36 the same? (where it really means before this time)
