What if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

πρότερον; proteron “before?”

Nicodemus saith to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them)

πρότερον, proteron “former”

The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

πρότερον proteron “before”

And in this confidence I purposed to come to you before, that ye might have a second benefit;

πρότερον proteron “previously”

Ye know that in infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you at the first.

πρότερον, proteron “first,”

That ye put off concerning the former manner of life the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts:

προτέραν proteran “former”
