G4298–προκόπτω–prokoptō

And as Jesus grew older He gained in both wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

προέκοπτεν proekopten “was continuing to advance”

The night is far advanced, and day is about to dawn. We must therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness, and clothe ourselves with the armour of Light.

προέκοψεν proekopsen “is nearly over”

and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.

προέκοπτον proekopton “I was advancing”

But from irreligious and frivolous talk hold aloof, for those who indulge in it will proceed from bad to worse in impiety,

προκόψουσιν prokopsousin “they will lead”

But they will have no further success; for their folly will be as clearly manifest to all men, as that of the opponents of Moses came to be.

προκόψουσιν prokopsousin “they will advance”

But bad men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, misleading and being misled.

προκόψουσιν prokopsousin “will advance”
