Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root περισσεύω (perisseuō), meaning "to abound" or "to exceed."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for περισσός, the concept of abundance is often expressed in the Hebrew Bible with words like רַב (rab, Strong's H7227) meaning "many" or "great," and שָׁפַע (shapha, Strong's H8191) meaning "abundance" or "plenty." These terms similarly convey the idea of exceeding measure or overflowing provision. Usage: The word περισσός is used in the New Testament to describe abundance or excess in various contexts, including material wealth, spiritual blessings, and moral qualities. Context: περισσός is a term that appears in several New Testament passages, often highlighting the concept of abundance or excess. It is used to describe both positive and negative forms of abundance.

This usage underscores the idea of unnecessary excess leading to moral compromise.
