G4279–προεπαγγέλλω–proepangellō

Of which God had given word before by his prophets in the holy Writings,

προεπηγγείλατο proepēngeilato “He promised beforehand”

So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.

προεπηγγελμένην proepēngelmenēn “having pre-promised”
