'Progress' in the Bible

Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel,

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

Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.

But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes’s and Jambres’s folly was also.
