G4298–προκόπτω–prokoptō

And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men.

προέκοπτεν proekopten “was continuing to advance”

The night is far gone, and the day is near: so let us put off the works of the dark, arming ourselves with light,

προέκοψεν proekopsen “is nearly over”

And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.

προέκοπτον proekopton “I was advancing”

But take no part in wrong and foolish talk, for those who do so will go farther into evil,

προκόψουσιν prokopsousin “they will lead”

But they will go no farther: for their foolish behaviour will be clear to all men, as theirs was in the end.

προκόψουσιν prokopsousin “they will advance”

Evil and false men will become worse and worse, using deceit and themselves overcome by deceit.

προκόψουσιν prokopsousin “will advance”
