Usage: The verb ὑπεραίρω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of exalting oneself or being prideful. It conveys the idea of elevating oneself above others, often in a negative sense of arrogance or conceit. Context: The Greek verb ὑπεραίρω appears in the New Testament in contexts that warn against pride and self-exaltation. It is used to describe an attitude of arrogance that is contrary to the humility expected of believers. In 2 Corinthians 12:7, the Apostle Paul uses this term to describe the potential for pride due to the surpassing greatness of the revelations he received: "or with these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me." (BSB). Here, Paul acknowledges the danger of self-exaltation and the need for humility, even in the face of divine revelation.
