This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Exceeding abundantly (ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ)
Only here, 1Th 3:10; 1Th 5:13. Superabundantly. One of the numerous compounds of ὑπέρ beyond, over and above, of which Paul is fond. Of twenty-eight words compounded with this preposition in the New Testament, Paul alone uses twenty. For the order and construction, see next note.
Above all (ὑπὲρ πάντα)
These words should not be connected with that, as A.V. and Rev.: “above all that we ask,” etc. They form with do an independent clause. The next clause begins with exceedingly above, and is construed with ὧν that which we ask, etc. Read the whole, “Unto Him who is able to do beyond all, exceedingly above that which,” etc.
