'Degree' in the Bible
He did evil in the sight of the Lord, but not to the same degree as his father and mother. He did remove the sacred pillar of Baal that his father had made.
He did evil in the sight of the Lord, but not to the same degree as the Israelite kings who preceded him.
If someone thinks he knows something, he does not yet know to the degree that he needs to know.
And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
But rejoice in the degree that you have shared in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may also rejoice and be glad.
