‏ Philippians 1:12

 The things which happened unto me ( τα κατ' εμε ). "The things concerning me" = "my affairs" as common in Josephus.

 Have fallen out rather ( μαλλον εληλυθεν ). "Have come rather." Second perfect active indicative of  ερχομα.

 Unto the progress ( εις προκοπην ). Late word from  προκοπτω, common verb, to cut or strike forward, but this late substantive does not occur in classical Greek. It is a technical term in Stoic philosophy for "progress toward wisdom" and it appears also in the papyri and the LXX. In N.T. only here, verse 25; 1Ti 4:15.
