"But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience," — 2 Timothy 3:10 (ASV)
Didst follow (παρηκολουθησας). First aorist active indicative of παρακολουθεω, for which see 1 Timothy 4:6. Some MSS. have perfect active παρηκολουθηκας (thou hast followed). Nine associative-instrumental cases here after the verb (teaching , διδασκαλια, Romans 12:7;
conduct , αγωγη, old word here only in N.T.;
purpose , προθεσε, Romans 8:28;
faith , πιστε, 1 Thessalonians 3:6;
longsuffering , μακροθυμια, Colossians 1:11;
persecutions , διωγμοις, 2 Thessalonians 1:4;
sufferings , παθημασιν, 2 Corinthians 1:6f.). The two last items belong to verse 11.
