    Comments: If one assumes that {L:ἐπίγνωσις} in {S:05100101000028} is to be understood in the sense of ‘knowledge about’ (see {D:28.18}), then one may translate this expression as ‘you will know more and more about God,’ but if {L:ἐπίγνωσις} is to be understood in the sense of ‘to experience knowledge’ (see {D:28.2}), one may ‘you will know God more and more’ or ‘you will come to know more and more what God does.’

    DefinitionShort: to increase in the degree of a state
    Glosses: ['to increase', 'to grow']
    Comments: It would be possible to interpret αὐξάνομαι in {S:04701001500024} as being quantitative, but with an expression of state such as πίστις, intensity of degree seems to be more appropriate. In a number of languages, however, it may be necessary to render this expression in {S:04701001500024} as ‘hoping that you may trust more and more.’
