As an adverb, it introduces what follows a preceding step. In 1 Corinthians 15:7 the APB renders successive appearances "Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles," while 1 Corinthians 12:28 places miracles and further gifts after apostles, prophets, and teachers. Galatians 1:18 and James 4:14 likewise present a later journey and vanishing after what precedes.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the sequence with "Then," including in 1 Corinthians 15:7 and 1 Thessalonians 4:17, and also uses "then" within ordered descriptions such as James 3:17. These renderings confirm the verse-level sequence without isolating every individual token.
