Brethren, please forgive the brevity of the first post.  And I¹m on digest
so won¹t get your answers until I¹m back from work anyway.

I was in a hurry and trying to find the base word of what looks like
³metesteysen² from my Greek Concordant Version.  I thought maybe it was a
form of metastases, but haven¹t been able to find that one either although
my memory is pricking me, that I have found that one before.   The closest I
could come to finding anything about this word was to note that it is made
up of roots ³met² - after,  and ³istanoo² ­ stand up or ³isteymi² - stand,
assign, establish.    Thus the Concordant Version uses ³afterstands² as the
English equivalent which does next to nothing in understanding meaning.
Tried to find the word in my New International Dictionary of New Testament
Theology but no luck.  If someone could just point me to the usual form of
the word, I might be able to find something online.  I usually like to see
the other places that a word is used, but if I cannot find the base word,
I¹m outa luck.  

I¹m not proficient on endings at this point in time but at least recognize
that they change for plurals, etc.

I know you all are busy and don¹t wish to detract from your researching.

And if you don¹t mind I truly prefer to go by the initials TL.  Although FYI
my full name is TeriLynn King.

I'd like some information on the word translated "translate, convey,
brought" in 1:13

> NKJ:
> 13He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the
> kingdom of the Son of His love,

Thanks for your help.
