Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ὑπέρ (hyper, meaning "beyond" or "exceedingly") and περισσεύω (perisseuō, meaning "to abound" or "to be in excess").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑπερπερισσεύω, similar concepts of abundance and overflowing can be found in Hebrew words such as רַב (rab, Strong's 7227, meaning "many" or "great") and שָׁפַע (shapha, Strong's 8191, meaning "to overflow" or "to abound"). These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe God's abundant provision and blessings.

Usage: The term ὑπερπερισσεύω is used in the New Testament to describe an abundance that goes beyond the usual measure, often in the context of grace, love, or other divine attributes.

Context: The Greek verb ὑπερπερισσεύω is a compound word that intensifies the idea of abundance. It is used in the New Testament to convey the concept of an overwhelming or surpassing abundance, often in relation to God's grace or the believer's experience of divine blessings. This term appears in contexts where the writer seeks to emphasize the superlative nature of God's provision or the believer's spiritual state.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ὑπερπερισσεύω is notably used in Romans 5:20: "But where sin increased, grace increased all the more." Here, the apostle Paul contrasts the increase of sin with the superabundant increase of grace, highlighting the overwhelming sufficiency of God's grace to cover sin. The use of ὑπερπερισσεύω underscores the idea that God's grace not only meets the need created by sin but surpasses it in a remarkable way.

Theologically, this term is significant in discussions about the nature of grace and the transformative power of God's love. It suggests that divine grace is not merely adequate but is lavishly and generously given, exceeding all human expectations and limitations.
