Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

Ephesians 3:20

Exceeding abundantly [υ π ε ρ ε κ π ε ρ ι σ σ ο υ]. Only here, 1 Thessalonians 3:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:13. Superabundantly. One of the numerous compounds of uJper 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 [υ π ε ρ π α ν τ α]. 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 w=n that which we ask, etc. Read the whole, "Unto Him who is able to do beyond all, exceedingly above that which," etc.
