verb | πλεονάζω (be more than enough)

59.49 · Quantity · Abundance, Excess, Sparing

to be more than, to be more abundant to be more abundant than a given quantity In a number of languages it may be difficult to indicate the overabundance of grace in 1TI 1:14, since there is nothing in the context to provide a basis for comparison. Accordingly, the closest equivalent may be ‘but the grace of our Lord was very, very much.’
