Gal 1:14. Προέκοπτον, I was becoming a proficient [I profited]) in my very acts.-συνηλικιώτας, my equals in years) who were at that time in their full vigour.-πατρικῶν μου, of my fathers [of my hereditary and national traditions]) which were very dear to me, as if they depended on me as their sole patron. A mimesis.[4]
