• נָחָה (nachah, Strong's 5148): To lead, guide.
• יָרָה (yarah, Strong's 3384): To teach, instruct.
• הָלַךְ (halak, Strong's 1980): To walk, to go, often used metaphorically for living or conducting oneself.

These Hebrew terms reflect similar ideas of guidance, instruction, and progression, which are central to the understanding of προβιβάζω in the New Testament context.

Usage: The term προβιβάζω is used in the context of leading or advancing someone or something forward, often implying guidance or instruction that results in progress or development.

Context: The Greek verb προβιβάζω appears in the New Testament with the connotation of leading or advancing someone in knowledge or understanding. It is a term that suggests a process of growth or progression, often under the guidance of a teacher or leader. In the context of the early Christian community, this could refer to the spiritual or doctrinal advancement of believers as they are led into deeper understanding of the faith.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of leading or advancing is often associated with the work of the Holy Spirit or the teaching of the apostles, who guide believers into a fuller comprehension of the truth. The use of προβιβάζω underscores the importance of growth and maturity in the Christian life, emphasizing that believers are not to remain stagnant but are to be continually moving forward in their spiritual journey.

The term can also be applied to the role of church leaders, who are tasked with the responsibility of guiding their congregations toward spiritual maturity. This involves teaching sound doctrine, providing correction, and encouraging believers to live out their faith in practical ways.
