This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Advanced in wisdom and stature (proekopten tēi sophiāi kai hēlikiāi). Imperfect active, he kept cutting his way forward as through a forest or jungle as pioneers did. He kept growing in stature (hēlikia may mean age, as in Luk 12:25, but stature here) and in wisdom (more than mere knowledge). His physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual development was perfect. “At each stage he was perfect for that stage” (Plummer).
In favour (chariti). Or grace. This is ideal manhood to have the favour of God and men.
