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. For instance, in Matthew 5:37, Jesus instructs His followers to let their "Yes" be "Yes," and their "No," "No," warning that anything beyond (περισσός) this is from the evil one. This usage underscores the idea of unnecessary excess leading to moral compromise.

In a more positive light, περισσός is used in John 10:10, where Jesus declares, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (περισσός)." Here, the term emphasizes the abundant and overflowing life that Jesus offers to His followers, a life that surpasses mere existence and is rich in spiritual fulfillment.

The Apostle Paul also employs περισσός in his epistles to describe the superabundance of God's grace and the overflowing nature of Christian virtues. For example, in 2 Corinthians 9:8, Paul writes, "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound (περισσός) in every good work." This passage highlights the sufficiency and generosity of God's provision, enabling believers to excel in good deeds.

Overall, περισσός captures the essence of divine generosity and the call for believers to live lives marked by spiritual abundance and moral integrity.
