4266 progínomai (from 4253 /pró, "before" and 1096 /gínomai, "become") – properly, "emerges from what is before," i.e. transition which brings results that only become apparent later (used only in Ro 3:25).
Ro 3:25,26: "25Whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed (4266 /progínomai); 26for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus" (NASU).
