UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament
noun, f. | -εως | ὑστερέω
1 As will be readily noted, the terms ὑστερέω[a] (57.37), ὑστέρησις (57.37), and ὑστέρημα[a] (57.38) occur in contexts implying various degrees of lack, so that in certain contexts one may appropriately translate these terms as in dire need, to be poor, or even to be poverty stricken, but there seems to be no semantically justifiable means by which one may clearly distinguish degrees of lack.
