         DefinitionShort: an extraordinary degree, involving a considerable excess over what would be expected (this series differs from the series in {D:78.31} primarily in emphasizing the excessive degree)

         Glosses: ['extreme', 'extremely', 'to an extreme degree', 'to a very great degree']

         Comments: Though it is possible to interpret {L:ὑπερπερισσεύω} in {S:04500502000026} as referring simply to quantity (see {D:59.49}), it is better to interpret it as expressing degree. χάρις itself indicates the activity of God in showing favor, and {L:ὑπερπερισσεύω} is simply an expression of abundant degree involved in such an activity.
