'Further' in the Bible

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to further the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

for He delivered us and saved us and called us with a holy calling [a calling that leads to a consecrated life—a life set apart—a life of purpose], not because of our works [or because of any personal merit—we could do nothing to earn this], but because of His own purpose and grace [His amazing, undeserved favor] which was granted to us in Christ Jesus before the world began [eternal ages ago],

But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness,

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
