This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The things which happened unto me (ta kat' eme). “The things concerning me” = “my affairs” as common in Josephus.
Have fallen out rather (mallon elēluthen). “Have come rather.” Second perfect active indicative of erchomai.
Unto the progress (eis prokopēn). Late word from prokoptō, common verb, to cut or strike forward, but this late substantive does not occur in classical Greek. It is a technical term in Stoic philosophy for “progress toward wisdom” and it appears also in the papyri and the lxx. In N.T. only here, Phi 1:25; 1Ti 4:15.
