G4298–προκόπτω–prokoptō

And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

προέκοπτεν proekopten “was continuing to advance”

The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

προέκοψεν proekopsen “is nearly over”

and I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

προέκοπτον proekopton “I was advancing”

But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,

προκόψουσιν prokopsousin “they will lead”

But they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.

προκόψουσιν prokopsousin “they will advance”

But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

προκόψουσιν prokopsousin “will advance”
