Go, Go Onward, Etc.

"to go on one's way, to proceed from one place to another" (from poros, "a passage, a ford," Eng., "pore"), is always used in the Middle Voice in the NT and the Sept., and is the most frequent verb signifying "to go;" it is more distinctly used to indicate procedure or course than the verb eimi, "to go" (not found in the NT). It is often rendered "go thy (your) way," in Oriental usage the customary dismissal, marking the close of a case in court. Hence, in ordinary parlance, marking the end of a conversation, etc., e.g., Luke 7:22; 17:19; John 4:50; Acts 9:15; 24:25; cp. Daniel 12:9; in Romans 15:24 (1st part), RV, "go" (AV, "take my journey"); in Acts 9:3; 26:13 , "journeyed" (AV and RV). See DEPART , JOURNEY , WALK.

In 2—John 1:9 , where the best mss. have this verb (instead of parabaino, "to transgress," AV), the RV renders it "goeth onward" (marg., "taketh the lead"), of not abiding in the doctrine of Christ.
