Strong's Lexicon perissoterós adv. from NG4055: more abundantly, exceedingly, even more Original Word: περισσοτέρως Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word περισσός (perissos, Strong's 4055), meaning "abundant" or "exceeding." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for περισσοτέρως, the concept of abundance and exceeding is often captured by words like רַב (rab, Strong's 7227) meaning "many" or "great," and מְאֹד (me'od, Strong's 3966) meaning "very" or "exceedingly." Usage: The adverb περισσοτέρως is used to express a greater degree of something, often implying an abundance or excessiveness in comparison to a previous state or expectation. It is used to emphasize the intensity or extent of an action or quality. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of abundance was often associated with prosperity and blessing. The use of περισσοτέρως in the New Testament reflects a heightened emphasis on spiritual abundance and the surpassing greatness of God's work and promises. This term would resonate with early Christian audiences who were familiar with the idea of divine generosity and the call to live lives marked by spiritual abundance.
