4275 proeídō (from 4253 /pró, "before" and 1492 /eídō, "see, know," = 4275a, NAS dictionary) – properly, foresee (know in advance); used of God foreseeing (planning out) all of history from eternity past. This guarantees all the physical scenes of life operate according to (under) His plan – and bringing equal, eternal benefit to the person walking in faith ("divine-persuasion") in each of them. Accordingly, 4275a (proeídon) and faith (4102 /pístis) are directly connected.

Gal 3:7-9: "⁷Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. ⁸The Scripture, foreseeing (4275a/proeídon) that God would justify the Gentiles by faith (4102 /pístis), preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "all the nations will be blessed in you." ⁹So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer" (NASU).

[For the other occasion of 4275a (proeidon, see Ac 2:31, Textus leceptus. Compare 4308 /prooráō ("see before") with the Critical Text.]
