'Degree' in the Bible

He has put down kings from their seats, lifting up on high the men of low degree.

Being of low degree, his cause was not given a hearing: who has knowledge of his family? for his life is cut off from the earth.

Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.
