Nicodemus saith unto them -- he who came by night unto him -- being one of them,

the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

πρότερον proteron “before”

and in this confidence I was purposing to come unto you before, that a second favour ye might have,

πρότερον proteron “previously”

and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first,

πρότερον, proteron “first,”

ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit,

προτέραν proteran “former”
