Strong's Lexicon plérophoreó: To fully carry out, to fully convince, to fulfill, to assure. Original Word: πληροφορέω Word Origin: From the Greek words πλήρης (plérēs, meaning "full") and φέρω (pherō, meaning "to carry" or "to bring"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for πληροφορέω, the concept of fulfillment and assurance can be related to Hebrew words such as אָמַן (aman, Strong's H539), meaning "to confirm" or "to support," and מָלֵא (male', Strong's H4390), meaning "to fill" or "to fulfill." Usage: The verb πληροφορέω (plérophoreó) conveys the idea of bringing something to full measure or completion. It is often used in the New Testament to describe the act of fully convincing or assuring someone of a truth, or the fulfillment of a promise or prophecy. The term implies a sense of completeness and certainty, often in the context of faith and the assurance of God's promises. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of fullness and completion was significant in various aspects of life, including philosophy, commerce, and religion. The use of πληροφορέω in the New Testament reflects a Jewish understanding of God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises, as well as a Hellenistic appreciation for the idea of completeness and assurance. This term would have resonated with early Christian communities who were seeking certainty and assurance in their faith amidst persecution and uncertainty. HELPS Word-studies 4135 plērophoréō (from 4134 /plḗrēs, "full" and 5342 /phérō, "carry, bring") – properly, fully carry-through (make full); bear (or wear) fully. 4135 /plērophoréō ("fully carry through") is used of God's power bringing the believer to maximum potential, "matching" their true knowledge of Him (cf. 1 Cor 12:13). 4135 (plērophoreō) is often translated "giving full-assurance," but it properly means "bearing (wearing) the work of God to the fullest extent." That is, to the full capacity of the individual believer who is "fully persuaded" by Him.
