Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['05000301300032'], 'Content': 'There is no evidence that the figurative meaning of ἐπεκτείνομαι had become conventionalized by NT times. Accordingly, in {S:05000301300032} the occurrence of ἐπεκτείνομαι involves figurative usage rather than figurative meaning. It is rare that one can use a word meaning ‘to stretch out’ or ‘to reach toward’ in this context of {S:05000301300032}. It may be far better to use an expression such as ‘to earnestly seek those things that are ahead’ or ‘to do one’s best to reach what is ahead’ or ‘to strongly desire to experience what is ahead of me’ or ‘… what lies in the future.’'}
