It often conveys a sense of superiority or transcendence in terms of position, authority, or quality. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the exalted position of Christ and the surpassing greatness of God's love and power.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, hierarchical structures were prevalent, and the concept of being "above" or "superior" was well understood in terms of social status, authority, and divinity. The use of "huperanó" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the supreme authority and exalted nature of Christ in contrast to earthly powers and authorities.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>preposition from <a href="/greek/5228.htm">huper</a> and <a href="/greek/507.htm">anó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(high) above<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>above (1), far above (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5231: ὑπεράνω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὑπεράνω</span></span> (<span class="greek2">ὑπέρ</span> and <span class="greek2">ἄνω</span>), adverb, <span class="accented">above</span>: <span class="greek2">τίνος</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, § 54, 6), above a thing — of place, <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/4-10.htm">Ephesians 4:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/9-5.htm">Hebrews 9:5</a>; of rank and power, <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/1-21.htm">Ephesians 1:21</a>.
