Exegesis
The genitive phrase pantōn humōn {πάντων ὑμῶν | pan-tōn hū-mōn} literally ‘of all of you’ is best understood as a genitive of comparison when combined with the comparative adverb mallon {μᾶλλον | mal-lon} ‘more’, yielding the comparative idea “more than all of you.”
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:18
