Complete 1

5048 TELEIOO (24): to fulfill, finish or complete something. Additionally, the idea of "to make perfect (flawless)" can be seen in passages which tell about things done by God or Yesu. Some readers may prefer to translate teleioo in passages which refer to God or Yesu with the word "perfect". Comp. "complete" (5046 teleios). (Note: The double "o" ending of this verb is really an omicron "o" followed by an omega "o;" pronounced something like "tel-ay-aw'-oh.")

COMPLETE, MAKE COMPLETE (23) Lk.2.43; 13.32. Jn.4.34; 5.36; 17.4, 23. Act.20.24. 2Co.12.9. Php.3.12. Heb.2.10; 5.9; 7.19,28; 9.9; 10.1,14; 11.40; 12.23. Jas.2.22. 1Jn.2.5; 4.12,17,18.

In Jn.19.28: the meaning seems to be, "to fulfill (teleiothe) the OT prophecies completely". Note that in vv.24 and 36, "fulfill" (4137 pleroo) seems to be similar in meaning to teleioo.

FULFILL (1) Jn.19.28.

5046 TELEIOS (19): an adjective meaning "having reached completion;" sometimes in the sense of having reached perfection, sometimes maturity. "Perfect (one)" implies "one who does not sin." Only God, Christ and The Holy Spirit are perfect in that sense. Thus, "complete" or "mature" seem appropriate in passages which are not describing attributes of God. In passages such as Mt.5.48, "be ye perfect" seems to be a goal each one should strive for, rather than something one has attained.

In 1Co.2.6, "the complete ones" seems to be contrasted to "the ones being brought to nothing." In 1Co.13.9-10, "parts (3313 meros) of the whole" are contrasted to "that which is whole or complete." (Note that the contrast is NOT between "imperfect" and "perfect.") In Eph.4.13 a complete man is contrasted to infants in v.14; comp. "complete" (2677 katartismos) in v.12.

COMPLETE IN THE SENSE OF BEING ENTIRE, WITH NOTHING MISSING:

PERFECT (7) Mt.5.48,48; 19.21. Rom.12.2. Jas.1.17,25; 3.2.

COMPLETE IN THE SENSE OF HAVING REACHED FULL GROWTH OR MATURITY. In 1Co.14.10 the expression "infants in understanding" is contrasted to "mature (ones) in understanding." In Heb.5.14 "mature (ones)" are compared to the infants of v.13.
