G3877–παρακολουθέω–parakoloutheō

And these signs will be with those who have faith: in my name they will send out evil spirits; and they will make use of new languages;

παρακολουθήσει· parakolouthēsei “will accompany:”

It seemed good to me, having made observation, with great care, of the direction of events in their order, to put the facts in writing for you, most noble Theophilus;

παρηκολουθηκότι parēkolouthēkoti “having been acquainted”

If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:

παρηκολούθηκας· parēkolouthēkas “you have closely followed;”

But you took as your example my teaching, behaviour, purpose, and faith; my long waiting, my love, my quiet undergoing of trouble;

παρηκολούθησάς parēkolouthēsas “closely followed”
