G4387–πρότερος–proteros

Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

πρότερον; proteron “before?”

Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

πρότερον, proteron “former”

The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?"

πρότερον proteron “before”

In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;

πρότερον proteron “previously”

but you know that because of weakness of the flesh I preached the Gospel to you the first time.

πρότερον, proteron “first,”

that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

προτέραν proteran “former”
