Strong's Lexicon perissós: Abundant, exceeding, extraordinary, more than sufficient. Original Word: περισσός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "peri" (meaning "around" or "beyond"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent to "perissós," the concept of abundance is often expressed in the Old Testament with words like "רַב" (rab, Strong's H7227) meaning "many" or "much," and "שָׁפַע" (shaphah, Strong's H8191) meaning "abundance" or "plenty." Usage: The Greek word "perissós" is used to describe something that is beyond the usual or expected measure. It conveys the idea of abundance, excess, or something that is extraordinary in quantity or quality. In the New Testament, it often refers to the abundant life that Jesus offers, the overflowing grace of God, or the surpassing righteousness expected of believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, abundance was often associated with wealth, prosperity, and divine favor. The concept of abundance in the biblical context, however, transcends material wealth and is more closely related to spiritual richness and the fullness of life that comes from a relationship with God. The use of "perissós" in the New Testament reflects a shift from material abundance to spiritual abundance, emphasizing the transformative power of God's grace and the new life in Christ.
