This term is used in the Old Testament to describe the fullness of the earth or the completeness of God's creation. Usage: The word πλήρωμα is used in various contexts within the New Testament to convey the idea of fullness or completeness. It appears in theological discussions about the fullness of God, the church, and the fulfillment of time. Context: The term πλήρωμα is significant in the New Testament, appearing 17 times. It is often used to express the concept of fullness in a spiritual or theological sense. In the Berean Standard Bible, πλήρωμα is translated as "fullness" and is used in key passages to convey profound theological truths.
