Strong's Lexicon plérophoria: Full assurance, complete certainty, full conviction Original Word: πληροφορία Word Origin: From πληρόω (pléroō, Strong's 4137), meaning "to fill" or "to make full." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "plérophoria," the concept of assurance can be related to terms like אֱמוּנָה (emunah, Strong's 530), meaning "faithfulness" or "steadfastness," which conveys a sense of trust and reliability. Usage: The term "plérophoria" refers to a state of complete certainty or full assurance. It conveys a sense of being fully persuaded or having complete confidence in a particular truth or belief. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of faith and understanding, indicating a deep, unwavering conviction in the promises and truths of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of assurance or certainty was significant in philosophical and religious contexts. Assurance was not merely intellectual assent but involved a deep-seated conviction that influenced one's actions and life. In the early Christian community, this term would have been particularly meaningful as believers faced persecution and needed a strong, unwavering faith to endure trials.
