Berean Strong's Lexicon teleiósis: Completion, Perfection, Fulfillment Original Word: τελείωσις Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: teleiósis Pronunciation: te-lay-O-sis Phonetic Spelling: (tel-i'-o-sis) Definition: Completion, Perfection, Fulfillment Meaning: completion, fulfillment, perfection. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb τελειόω (teleióō), meaning "to complete" or "to perfect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 8003: שָׁלֵם (shalem) – meaning complete, safe, at peace. - Strong's Hebrew 8537: תָּמִים (tamim) – meaning complete, whole, entire, sound. Usage: The term "teleiósis" refers to the process or state of reaching completion or perfection. In the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of spiritual maturity or the fulfillment of God's purposes. It is used to describe the culmination of a process, whether it be the completion of a task, the fulfillment of a prophecy, or the maturation of a believer's faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of perfection or completion was highly valued, often associated with the attainment of a goal or the fulfillment of one's potential. In the context of the New Testament, "teleiósis" reflects the Jewish understanding of spiritual maturity and the fulfillment of God's covenant promises. The term is deeply rooted in the idea of reaching the intended end or purpose, both individually and corporately as the body of Christ.
