'Advancement' in the Bible

Therefore, if [my eating a certain] food causes my brother to stumble (sin), I will not eat [such] meat ever again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

And [you have heard how] I surpassed many of my contemporaries among my countrymen in [my advanced study of the laws of] Judaism, as I was extremely loyal to the traditions of my ancestors.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has actually resulted in the advance of the gospel,

Since I am persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

of these things be careful; in these things be, that thy advancement may be manifest in all things;
