The adverb modifies praying in 1 Thessalonians 3:10, regard in love in 1 Thessalonians 5:13, and what one is able to do in Ephesians 3:20. In 1 Thessalonians 3:10 the APB renders the clause "praying night and day superabundantly," while Ephesians 3:20 places the same rendering before "above all that we ask or understand."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "superabundantly" in all three verses, applying it to praying, regard in love, and ability to do. This repeated English wording confirms the clauses' overall intensification rather than establishing a finer distinction.
