kon´kẽr-ẽr: Known only in the compound verb (ὑπεÏνικῶμεν, hupernikō̇men, ): A usual meaning of the preposition in composition is “above all measureâ€; hence, “more than conquerors,†the Revised Version (British and American), the King James Version. The comparison is to the completeness of the victory. Others may place their enemies in subjection; those here mentioned master not only their foes, but themselves. Others destroy their foes and their resources; while those who are “more than conquerors†convert foes into means of still farther promoting the interests for which they struggle (-5). Nor is the victory external and transient, but internal and permanent.
