verb | περισσεύω
59.49 · Quantity · Abundance, Excess, Sparing
to be more than, to be more abundant to be more abundant than a given quantity For another interpretation of ὑπερπερισσεύω in ROM 5:20, see 78.34.
78.34 · Degree · More Than, Less Than [Comparative Degree]
extreme, extremely, to an extreme degree, to a very great degree an extraordinary degree, involving a considerable excess over what would be expected (this series differs from the series in 78.31 primarily in emphasizing the excessive degree) Though it is possible to interpret ὑπερπερισσεύω in ROM 5:20 as referring simply to quantity (see 59.49), it is better to interpret it as expressing degree. χάρις itself indicates the activity of God in showing favor, and ὑπερπερισσεύω is simply an expression of abundant degree involved in such an activity.
