'Start' in the Bible

Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance. And don’t start saying to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones!

and to go on to Macedonia with your help, then come to you again from Macedonia and be given a start by you on my journey to Judea.

For we have become companions of the Messiah if we hold firmly until the end the reality that we had at the start.
