It is often used to describe something that goes beyond the ordinary or expected limits. In the New Testament, it is frequently used to express the surpassing greatness or abundance of God's power, grace, or love.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of surpassing or exceeding was often associated with competition and achievement, whether in athletic contests, rhetoric, or other areas of life. The use of "huperballó" in the New Testament reflects a cultural understanding of excellence and abundance, but it is applied in a spiritual context to describe the immeasurable and incomparable nature of God's attributes and actions.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5235</b> <i>hyperbállō</i> (from <a href="/greek/5228.htm">5228</a> <i>/hypér</i>, "beyond, above" and <a href="/greek/906.htm">906</a> <i>/bállō</i>, "throw") – properly, throw beyond; (figuratively) <i>surpassing</i> (transcending); excel, exceed ("be eminent"). </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5228.htm">huper</a> and <a href="/greek/906.htm">balló</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to throw over or beyond, to run beyond<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>surpasses (2), surpassing (3).<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 5235: ὑπερβάλλω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὑπερβάλλω</span></span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> transitive, <span class="accented">to surpass in throwing; to throw over or beyond</span> anything. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> intransitive, <span class="accented">to transcend, surpass, exceed, excel</span>; participle <span class="greek2">ὑπερβαλλων</span>, <span class="accented">excelling, exceeding</span>; <span class="manuref">Vulg.</span> (in <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/1-19.htm">Ephesians 1:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/3-19.htm">Ephesians 3:19</a>)<span class="latin">supereminens</span>; (<span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Isocrates</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, others): <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/3-10.htm">2 Corinthians 3:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/9-14.htm">2 Corinthians 9:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/1-19.htm">Ephesians 1:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/2-7.htm">Ephesians 2:7</a>; with a genitive of the object surpassed (<span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> Prom. 923; <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, Gorgias, p. 475 b.; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Matthiae</span>, § 358, 2), <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">ὑπερβαλλουσα</span> <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">γνώσεως</span> <span class="greek2">ἀγάπη</span> <span class="greek2">Χρσιτου</span>, the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/3-19.htm">Ephesians 3:19</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 346 (324) note).<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>exceeding, excel, pass. <p>From <a href="/greek/5228.htm">huper</a> and <a href="/greek/906.htm">ballo</a>; to throw beyod the usual mark, i.e. (figuratively) to surpass (only active participle supereminent) -- exceeding, excel, pass. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/5228.htm">huper</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/906.htm">ballo</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>υπερβαλλον υπερβάλλον ὑπερβάλλον υπερβάλλοντα υπερβαλλουσαν υπερβάλλουσαν ὑπερβάλλουσαν υπερβαλλουσης υπερβαλλούσης ὑπερβαλλούσης υπερέβαλεν hyperballon hyperbállon hyperballousan hyperbállousan hyperballouses hyperballousēs hyperballoúses hyperballoúsēs uperballon uperballousan uperballouses uperballousēs<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/2_corinthians/3-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">2 Corinthians 3:10</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb -
