XXX has made sublime efforts


Explanation:
did his very best/utmost
gave his all
I think anything that shows a superlative will fit here, I thinks it just shows that he did more than he needed to do.
There is a book in English that lists concondances, but I have not found it yet. Does anyone out there have any input?
Greetings,
Marijke
