perissoteros marks something as greater, further, or beyond another item in a comparison.

The attested use consistently marks a comparison: honor may be greater, labor or demand may go beyond others, a fact may be clearer, and a judgment or grief may be intensified. The contexts apply this comparative force to people, actions, qualities, and outcomes rather than limiting it to a single setting.

1. Greater or further in a comparison · dominant

   The comparative forms mark what exceeds another measure or item: in 1 Corinthians 12:23 the APB renders the clause about bestowing "greater honor," while in 1 Corinthians 15:10 it renders labor "more than all of them." The same comparative relation appears in Luke 12:48, where more is demanded from one entrusted with much; in Hebrews 7:15, where something is "still more evident"; and in Matthew 11:9, where the figure seen is described as "more than a prophet."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the comparative idea with varied English expressions, including "greater honor," "more than all of them," "still more evident," "more severe judgment," and "more than a prophet." These are renderings of their respective clauses rather than fixed equivalents in every occurrence.
