Paul quotes Psalm 44 in the middle of his own argument: for your sake we are killed all day long. Not once. All day, the kind of exhaustion that accumulates with no single Sunday to point to. Then he does what he has done twice already in this chapter. He takes a word and screws hyper onto the front of it. Not conquerors. Hyper-conquerors. And notice he does not say we are more than conquerors over these things. He says in them. You do not have to get out of it first.
