'Abound' in the Bible

Look upon my enemies, for they are many;They hate me with cruel and violent hatred.

In his days may the righteous flourish,And peace abound until the moon is no more.

A faithful (right-minded) man will abound with blessings,But he who hurries to be rich will not go unpunished.

He gives strength to the weary,And to him who has no might He increases power.

to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the favor of God abound greatly].”

But the free gift [of God] is not like the trespass [because the gift of grace overwhelms the fall of man]. For if many died by one man’s trespass [Adam’s sin], much more [abundantly] did God’s grace and the gift [that comes] by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to [benefit] the many.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.

So it is with you, since you are so very eager to have spiritual gifts and manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in ways that will build up the church [spiritually].

But just as you excel in everything, [and lead the way] in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in genuine concern, and in your love for us, see that you excel in this gracious work [of giving] also.

And this I pray, that your love may abound more and more [displaying itself in greater depth] in real knowledge and in practical insight,

filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God [so that His glory may be both revealed and recognized].

For as these qualities are yours and are increasing [in you as you grow toward spiritual maturity], they will keep you from being useless and unproductive in regard to the true knowledge and greater understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ.
