Strong's Lexicon perissos: Abundant, exceeding, extraordinary, more than sufficient Original Word: περισσός Part of Speech: Adjective; Adverb Transliteration: perissos Pronunciation: pe-ris-sos' Phonetic Spelling: (per-is-sos') Definition: Abundant, exceeding, extraordinary, more than sufficient Meaning: more, greater, excessive, abundant, exceedingly, vehemently; noun: preeminence, advantage. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word περί (peri), meaning "around" or "beyond." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent to "perissos," the concept of abundance is often expressed in Hebrew with words like רַב (rav) meaning "many" or "great," and שָׁפַע (shaphah) meaning "abundance" or "overflow." Usage: The Greek word "perissos" is used to describe something that is beyond the usual or expected measure. It conveys the idea of abundance, excess, or something that is extraordinary in quantity or quality. In the New Testament, it often refers to the abundant life that Jesus offers, the overflowing grace of God, or the surpassing righteousness expected of believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, abundance was often associated with wealth, prosperity, and divine favor. The concept of abundance in the biblical context, however, transcends material wealth and focuses on spiritual richness and the fullness of life that comes from a relationship with God. The use of "perissos" in the New Testament reflects a counter-cultural message that true abundance is found in spiritual blessings rather than earthly possessions.
