G1811–ἐξακολουθέω–exakoloutheō

For, skilfully devised fables not having followed out, we did make known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but eye-witnesses having become of his majesty --

ἐξακολουθήσαντες exakolouthēsantes “having followed”

and many shall follow out their destructive ways, because of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of,

ἐξακολουθήσουσιν exakolouthēsousin “will follow after”

having forsaken a right way, they did go astray, having followed in the way of Balaam the `son' of Bosor, who a reward of unrighteousness did love,

ἐξακολουθήσαντες exakolouthēsantes “having followed”
