'Better' in the Bible

So that Satan may not get the better of us: for we are not without knowledge of his designs.

Are they servants of Christ?I’m talking like a madman—I’m a better one:with far more labors,many more imprisonments,far worse beatings, near death many times.

But be that as it may, I did not burden you [with my support]. But [some say that] I was sly and took you by trickery.
