'Pre eminence' in the Bible

And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this realm and its glory [its power, its renown]; because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

But also the hairs of your head were all numbered. Therefore fear not: ye have the preeminence over many little sparrows.

Consider the ravens: for they sow not neither do they reap; to them there is not store-house nor store; and God nourishes them: how much more have ye preeminence of the fowls?
