Surpassing

I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother. You were delightful to me; your love to me was extraordinary, surpassing the love of women.

At the same time my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne, and surpassing greatness was added to me.

And their prayers for you will express their affection for you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.

…and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,

…in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
