Strong's Lexicon huperballontós: exceedingly, beyond measure, surpassingly Original Word: ὑπερβαλλόντως Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὑπερβάλλω (huperballō), which means "to surpass" or "to exceed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑπερβαλλόντως, the concept of surpassing or exceeding can be found in Hebrew words like גָּדוֹל (gadol, Strong's H1419) meaning "great" or "mighty," and רַב (rav, Strong's H7227) meaning "many" or "much." Usage: The adverb ὑπερβαλλόντως is used to describe something that goes beyond the usual or expected limits. It conveys the idea of exceeding or surpassing in degree or measure. In the New Testament, it is often used to emphasize the greatness or abundance of something, particularly in relation to God's power, grace, or love. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of surpassing or exceeding was often associated with excellence and superiority. The use of ὑπερβαλλόντως in the New Testament reflects a cultural understanding of greatness and abundance, but it is applied in a theological context to describe the divine attributes and actions of God. This term underscores the belief in a God whose capabilities and qualities far exceed human understanding and limitations.
