'Excel' in the Bible

You are destructive like water and will not excel, for you got on your father's bed, then you defiled it -- he got on my couch!

For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness excel in glory!

But as you excel in everything -- in faith, in speech, in knowledge, and in all eagerness and in the love from us that is in you -- make sure that you excel in this act of kindness too.
