Context: περισσεῦμα appears in the New Testament to illustrate the concept of abundance, both in physical and spiritual terms. In Matthew 12:34, Jesus uses the term to describe how the words spoken by a person are an overflow of what fills the heart: "For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." This indicates that the moral and spiritual state of a person is revealed through their speech, as it is the surplus of their inner being.
