It can mean "for" or "on behalf of," indicating representation or substitution. It can also mean "above" or "beyond," suggesting superiority or excess. In some contexts, it conveys the idea of "more than" or "exceedingly."Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, prepositions like "huper" were essential for expressing relationships between objects, people, and concepts. The use of "huper" in the New Testament reflects both its common usage in everyday Greek and its theological significance. It often conveys the idea of Christ's sacrificial work on behalf of humanity, a concept deeply rooted in the Jewish sacrificial system and fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus' atoning death.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div>5228 hypér (a preposition) – properly, beyond (above); (figuratively) to extend benefit (help) that reaches beyond the present situation. <a href="/greek/5228.htm">5228</a> /hypér ("beyond") is usually best translated "for the betterment (advantage) of," i.e. focusing on benefit.
