Biblical Concept: More
Introduction
The NASB
translation has 483 verses containing the word more. I have chosen to focus on the Epistles to the
Church, the Gospel of John 13-17, Psalms and Proverbs. The primary and
secondary sources for the believer in the Risen Christ.
Findings
God, gladness,
more, relationship.
“That man who is
of the earth may cause terror no more.”

precepts, commandment, fear of the Lord, judgements = “more desirable than
gold.”

things to say to you, but you cannot bear them
now.
“Much more then,
having now been justified by His blood”
“much more, having been reconciled”
“much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of
the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many”
“much more those who receive the abundance of grace”
“grace abounded all the more”
Jews:
transgression, failure, versus “much more will their fulfillment be”
To Jews: “much
more shall these who are the natural branches
be grafted into their own olive tree.”
“not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think”
Resurrected Jesus:
“appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time”
Paul: “I labored
even more than all of them.”

ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?

much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.
NAS 2
Corinthians 4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace which
is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound
to the glory of God.
“the grace which is spreading to more and more people”
Paul: more labors,
more imprisonments.
Saul: “more
extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.”
Relationship:
Love, more, knowledge, discernment.
“more courage to speak the word of God without fear”
Humility, regard,
another, more important, himself.
8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in
view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have
suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may
gain Christ,

excellent name.”

than Moses”

more sure”

no more”

4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my
heart, More than when their grain and new wine abound.

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! Thou hast relieved me in my
distress; Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 O sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach? How long will you love what is worthless
and aim at deception? Selah. 3
But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself; The LORD hears
when I call to Him. 4
Tremble, and do not sin; Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still.
Selah. 5 Offer the sacrifices
of righteousness, And trust in the LORD. 6 Many are saying, "Who will
show us any good?" Lift up the
light of Thy countenance upon us, O LORD!
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More
than when their grain and new wine abound.
8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For Thou alone, O
LORD, dost make me to dwell in safety.

the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may cause

NAS Psalm
19:10 They are more desirable
than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings
of the honeycomb. (“more desirable than gold”) (Law, testimony, precepts,
commandment, fear of the Lord, judgements = “more desirable than gold.”)
Psalm 19:7-9 7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the
simple. 8 The precepts of the
LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes. 9 The
fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are
true; they are righteous altogether.
NAS Psalm
37:10 Yet a little while and the
wicked man will be no more; And you will look carefully for his place, and he

head”)

than the watchmen for the morning. (“My soul waits for the Lord More than the watchmen for the morning”)

the wicked is no more, But the righteous has
an everlasting foundation. (All)
NAS Proverbs
11:24 There is one who scatters,
yet increases all the more, And there is one who
withholds what is justly due, but it
results only in want.
31 If the righteous will be
rewarded in the earth, How much more the wicked and
the sinner!
NAS Proverbs
12:7 The wicked are overthrown
and are no more, But the house of the righteous will stand. (Spiritual
idealism: “The wicked are overthrown and are no more.”)

and Abaddon lie open before the LORD,

NAS Ecclesiastes
1:16 I said to myself,
"Behold, I have magnified and increased wisdom more than all who were over
Jerusalem before me; and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and
knowledge." (Solomon: “I have magnified and increased wisdom more than all
who were over Jerusalem before me.”)
NAS Ecclesiastes
2:9 Then I became great and
increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also stood by
me.
NAS Ecclesiastes
4:2 So I congratulated the dead
who are already dead more than the living who are still living.
Ecclesiastes 4:1-3 1 Then I looked again at all the
acts of oppression which were being done under the sun. And behold I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them; and on the side of their
oppressors was power, but they had no one to comfort them. 2 So I
congratulated the dead who are already dead more than the living who are still
living. 3 But better off than both of them is the one who has
never existed, who has never seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 7:1-6 1 A good name is better than a good ointment, And the day of
one's death is better than the day of
one's birth. 2 It is better
to go to a house of mourning Than to go to a house of feasting, Because that is the end of every man, And the living takes it to heart. 3 Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad a heart may be happy. 4 The mind of the wise is in the
house of mourning, While the mind of fools is in the house of pleasure. 5 It is better to listen to the
rebuke of a wise man Than for one to listen to the song of fools. 6 For as the crackling of thorn
bushes under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool,
And this too is futility.
NAS Ecclesiastes
7:19 Wisdom strengthens a wise
man more than ten rulers who are in a city.
26 And I discovered more bitter
than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are chains.
One who is pleasing to God will escape from her, but the sinner will be
captured by her. (“more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares”)
NAS Ecclesiastes
10:10 If the axe is dull and he
does not sharpen its edge, then he
must exert more strength. Wisdom has the advantage of giving success. (More:
Wisdom has the advantage of giving success.)
NAS John
14:19 "After a little while
the world will behold Me no more; but you will
behold Me; because I live, you shall live also. (Jesus: “After a little
while the world will behold Me no more.”)
30 "I will not speak much more
with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;
(Jesus: “I will not speak much more with you.”)
NAS John
15:2 "Every branch in Me
that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it, that it may bear more fruit.
John 15:1-5 1 "I am the true vine, and My
Father is the vinedresser. 2
"Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it,
that it may bear more fruit. 3
"You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to
you. 4 "Abide in Me, and
I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the
vine, so neither can you, unless you
abide in Me. 5 "I am the
vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much
fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.
NAS John
16:12 "I have many more
things to say to you, but you cannot bear them
now. (All) (See 16:7-15)
21 "Whenever a woman is in
travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to
the child, she remembers the anguish no more, for joy that a child has been
born into the world.
25 "These things I have spoken
to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will speak no more to
you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.
NAS John
17:11 "And I am no more in
the world; and yet they themselves
are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, the name which Thou hast given Me, that
they may be one, even as We are.
NAS John
19:8 When Pilate therefore heard
this statement, he was the more afraid;
NAS John
21:15 So when they had finished
breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him,
"Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My
lambs."
NAS Romans
5:9 Much more then, having now
been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. (“Much more then,
having now been justified by His blood”)
10 For if while we were enemies, we
were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been
reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. (“much more, having been
reconciled”)
Romans 5:8-10
8 But God demonstrates His own love
toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from
the wrath of God through Him. 10
For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of
His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
15 But the free gift is not like
the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much
more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus
Christ, abound to the many. (“much more did the grace of God and the gift by
the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many”)
17 For if by the transgression of
the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the
abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through
the One, Jesus Christ. (“much more those who receive the abundance of grace”)
20 And the Law came in that the
transgression might increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the
more, (“grace abounded all the more”)
NAS Romans
11:12 Now if their transgression
be riches for the world and their failure be riches for the Gentiles, how much
more will their fulfillment be! (Jews: transgression, failure, versus “much
more will their fulfillment be”)
24 For if you were cut off from
what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a
cultivated olive tree, how much more shall these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive
tree? (To Jews: “much more shall these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree.”)
NAS Romans
12:3 For through the grace given
to me I say to every man among you not to think more highly of himself than he
ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted
to each a measure of faith. (“not to think more highly of himself than he ought
to think”)
NAS 1
Corinthians 6:3 Do you not know
that we shall judge angels? How much more, matters of this life?
NAS 1
Corinthians 9:12 If others share
the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right,
but we endure all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the gospel of
Christ.
19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all,
that I might win the more.
NAS 1
Corinthians 12:23 and those members of the body, which we deem less
honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our unseemly members come to have more abundant
seemliness,
24 whereas our seemly members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,
31 But earnestly desire the greater
gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way.
NAS 1
Corinthians 14:5 Now I wish that
you all spoke in tongues, but even more
that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks
in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying.
18 I thank God,
I speak in tongues more than you all;
NAS 1
Corinthians 15:6 After that He
appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain
until now, but some have fallen asleep; (Resurrected Jesus: “appeared to more
than five hundred brethren at one time”)
10 But by the grace of God I am
what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more
than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. (Paul: “I labored
even more than all of them.”)
NAS 2
Corinthians 1:23 But I call God
as witness to my soul, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.
NAS 2
Corinthians 3:8 how shall the
ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? (All)
9 For if the ministry of
condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in
glory. (All)
11 For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which
remains is in glory.
NAS 2
Corinthians 4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace which
is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound
to the glory of God. (All) (“the grace which is spreading to more and more
people”)
NAS 2
Corinthians 7:7 and not only by
his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he
reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I
rejoiced even more.
13 For this reason we have been
comforted. And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of
Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
15 And his affection abounds all
the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received
him with fear and trembling.
NAS 2
Corinthians 8:22 And we have sent
with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found diligent in many
things, but now even more diligent, because of his great confidence in you.
NAS 2
Corinthians 10:15 not boasting
beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with
the hope that as your faith grows, we shall be, within our sphere, enlarged
even more by you,
NAS 2
Corinthians 11:23 Are they
servants of Christ? (I speak as if insane) I more so; in far more labors, in
far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death.
(Paul: more labors,
more imprisonments.)
NAS 2
Corinthians 12:6 For if I do wish
to boast I shall not be foolish, for I shall be speaking the truth; but I
refrain from this, so that no one may
credit me with more than he sees in me
or hears from me.
15 And I will most gladly spend and
be expended for your souls. If I love you the more, am I to be loved the less?
NAS Galatians
1:14 and I was advancing in
Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more
extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions. (Saul: “more extremely zealous
for my ancestral traditions.”)
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to
those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once
more to Damascus.
NAS Galatians
4:27 For it is written,
"Rejoice, barren woman who does not bear; Break forth and shout, you who
are not in labor; For more are the children of the desolate Than of the one who
has a husband."
NAS Philippians
1:9 And this I pray, that your
love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, (Relationship:
Love, more, knowledge, discernment.)
14 and that most of the brethren,
trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak
the word of God without fear. (“more courage to speak the word of God without
fear”)
24 yet to remain on in the flesh is
more necessary for your sake.
NAS Philippians
2:3 Do nothing from selfishness
or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another
as more important than himself; (Humility, regard, another, more important,
himself.)
12 So then, my beloved, just as you
have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my
absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;
28 Therefore I have sent him all
the more eagerly in order that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may
be less concerned about you.
NAS Philippians
3:4 although I myself might have
confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in
the flesh, I far more:
8 More than that, I count all
things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my
Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish
in order that I may gain Christ, (All)
Philippians 3:7-14 7 But whatever things were gain to
me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all
things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my
Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but
rubbish in order that I may gain Christ,
9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my
own derived from the Law, but that
which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10 that I may know Him, and the
power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed
to His death; 11 in order
that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I have already
obtained it, or have already become
perfect, but I press on in order that I may lay hold of that for which also I
was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13
Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do:
forgetting what lies behind and
reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus.
NAS Philippians
4:16 for even in Thessalonica you
sent a gift more than once for my
needs.
NAS 1
Thessalonians 2:17 But we,
brethren, having been bereft of you for a short while-- in person, not in
spirit-- were all the more eager with great desire to see your face.
18 For we wanted to come to you--
I, Paul, more than once-- and yet Satan
thwarted us.
NAS 1
Thessalonians 4:1 Finally then,
brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as you received
from us instruction as to how you
ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you may excel
still more. (Spiritual walk: “you may excel still more.”)
10 for indeed you do practice it
toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to
excel still more, (To Thessalonians: “But we urge you, brethren, to excel still
more”)
NAS 1
Timothy 1:14 and the grace of our
Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. (All)
(Relationship: Grace, more, abundant, faith, love, Christ Jesus.)
NAS 1
Timothy 6:2 And let those who
have believers as their masters not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren,
but let them serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit
are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles. (Christian slaves: serve them all the more, because
those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved.)
NAS Philemon
1:16 no longer as a slave, but
more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to
you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. (Christian slave owner of Christian slaves:
“more than a slave, a beloved brother.”)
21 Having confidence in your
obedience, I write to you, since I know that you will do even more than what I
say.
NAS Hebrews
1:4 having become as much better
than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they. (Jesus:
“a more excellent name.”)
NAS Hebrews
3:3 For He has been counted
worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house
has more honor than the house. (Jesus: “more glory than Moses”)
NAS Hebrews
6:17 In the same way God,
desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of
His purpose, interposed with an oath,
NAS Hebrews
7:22 so much the more also Jesus
has become the guarantee of a better covenant. (All) (More, Jesus, better
covenant.)
NAS Hebrews
8:6 But now He has obtained a more
excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant,
which has been enacted on better promises. (Jesus: “He has obtained a more
excellent ministry.”)
12 "For I will be merciful to
their iniquities, And I will remember their sins no more." (“I will
remember their sins no more.”)
NAS Hebrews
9:11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to
come, He entered through the greater
and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; (“more
perfect tabernacle, not made with hands”)
14 how much more will the blood of
Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God,
