Strong's Lexicon plérés: Full, complete, filled Original Word: πλήρης Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb πίμπλημι (pimplēmi), meaning "to fill" or "to be full." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of fullness is מָלֵא (male'), Strong's Hebrew 4390, which also means "full" or "filled." Usage: The Greek adjective "plérés" is used to describe something that is full or complete, often in a spiritual or moral sense. It conveys the idea of being filled to capacity, lacking nothing, and being entirely complete. In the New Testament, it is frequently used to describe individuals who are filled with the Holy Spirit or with certain qualities such as wisdom or faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of fullness was often associated with abundance and completeness. In Jewish thought, being "full" could also imply spiritual maturity and moral integrity. The New Testament usage of "plérés" reflects these cultural understandings, emphasizing the fullness of God's presence and the completeness of His work in believers.
