2 Corinthians 11:23 ὑπερβαλλόντως, above measure,

Are they servants of Christ? (I am speaking as if I were out of my mind.) I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.

Here: 'Overshooting' any normal amount. This is the one place in the New Testament the word occurs, and it is stronger than the comparatives around it.
