What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
ὑπέρ most often means for, on behalf of, for the sake of — used of praying or acting for someone, of laying down one's life for another, and especially of Christ giving his life for people 1234. In this same range it can also be causal, meaning because of, on account of 123.
It can also mean instead of, in place of, in the name of — functioning much like the word anti, as when someone is baptized, or acts, or speaks, in another's stead or as their representative 13.
In a more general, "colorless" use it can mean simply concerning, about, with regard to — much like the word peri 13.
With a following noun in the accusative rather than genitive, ὑπέρ takes a quite different, more literal sense: over, above, beyond, describing something exceeding a measure, degree, extent, number, or time — "more than," "upwards of," "beyond one's strength" 123. In this range it is also used after comparatives to mean than 13. Related to this is its rare use as an adverb meaning simply more 13.
