Furtherance:

Notes:

(1) In Phl 1:12, 25, AV, prokope, "a striking forward" (pro, "forward," kopto, "to cut"), is translated "furtherance;" "progress" in RV, as in 1Ti 4:15. Originally the word was used of a pioneer cutting his way through brushwood.
See PROGRESS.

(2) In Phl 1:5 the RV "(for your fellowship) in furtherance of the Gospel," and in Phl 2:22, "in furtherance of the Gospel," are, lit., "unto the Gospel."
