Definition: an extraordinary degree, involving a considerable excess over what would be expected (this series differs from the series in 78.31: ἐκπερισσῶς / 78.31: περισσεία / 78.31: περισσεύω / 78.31: περισσός / 78.31: περισσοτέρως / 78.31: περισσῶς primarily in emphasizing the excessive degree)

Notes: In order that something of the irony of the phrase τῶν ὑπερλίαν ἀποστόλων (RV CO2 11:5 · LV CO2 11:5 · Read together CO2 11:5) may be indicated, one may wish to follow the example of Today’s English Version and translate “I do not think that I am the least bit inferior to those very special so-called ‘apostles’ of yours!”
