Man's conquest of nature does not apply in the Bible at all.
We are to be Kings of life，we want to use the truth of life to dominate, rather than conquer.
If you understand the difference between them.
Here is just an example:Just as an example, there is no place to discriminate against anyone.
Prostitutes are governed by money, food, all sorts of worldly things, they are slaves to these things.A slave is someone who does something he/she doesn't want to do.
They do not conquer these things; they are dominated by these things.
They are dominated by idols not real life.

In the two verses prior, Christians are informed that they will sometimes have to endure “tribulation or distress or persecution or hunger or nakedness or danger or sword” or even “death.” But we can become victorious over these distressing circumstances and be assured of God’s love for his people provided we keep our integrity.

conqueror:
a person who conquers a place or people; a vanquisher.
more than conquerors:
Revelation 3:21 KJV
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Revelation 20:4 KJV
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

We didn't conquer. We received a free gift.
Conquerors are not secure. They can be stripped of their conquest by death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come, height, depth, or any other creature. We can't be stripped of what we have freely obtained; the love of Christ/God.

I guess online it's always good to be a little wary of someone's motives, but I have no interest in tricking anyone.
I presented a scripture that seems a little odd in its construction and wondered why God would convey an aspect of truth in the manner He has. Is there more there than meets the eye?

Not at all odd.....in fact more than fitting given the intent and context.

Nay, G235 in G1722 all G3956 these things G5125 we are more than conquerors G5245 through G1223 him that loved G25 us. G2248
