Strong's Lexicon huperperisseuó: To abound exceedingly, to overflow, to be in great excess. Original Word: ὑπερπερισσεύω Word Origin: From the Greek words ὑπέρ (hyper, meaning "over" or "beyond") and περισσεύω (perisseuó, meaning "to abound" or "to exceed"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "huperperisseuó," the concept of abundance and overflowing is captured in Hebrew words like רַב (rab, meaning "many" or "much") and שָׁפַע (shaphah, meaning "to overflow" or "to abound"). Usage: The verb "huperperisseuó" conveys the idea of exceeding a standard measure, going beyond what is usual or expected. It is often used in the context of abundance, whether in blessings, grace, or other spiritual or material aspects. The term emphasizes an overflowing or surpassing quality, suggesting a superabundance that is more than sufficient. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, abundance was often associated with prosperity and divine favor. The concept of overflowing abundance would resonate with early Christians as a sign of God's generous provision and grace. The use of "huperperisseuó" in the New Testament reflects the transformative and abundant nature of God's work in the lives of believers, contrasting with the often limited and finite resources of the earthly realm.
