Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀπαρτίζω (apartizō), which means "to complete" or "to finish."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀπαρτισμός, the concept of completion or perfection can be related to several Hebrew words, such as:

- תָּם (tam) • Strong's Hebrew 8535, meaning "complete" or "blameless."
- שָׁלֵם (shalem) • Strong's Hebrew 8003, meaning "to be complete" or "to be finished."
- כָּלָה (kalah) • Strong's Hebrew 3615, meaning "to complete" or "to finish."

These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of bringing something to its intended end or state of wholeness, reflecting the biblical theme of God's perfect and complete work in creation and redemption.

Usage: The term ἀπαρτισμός is not directly found in the New Testament text. It is a derivative concept from the verb ἀπαρτίζω, which is used in contexts related to completion or perfection.

Context: The concept of ἀπαρτισμός, though not explicitly mentioned in the New Testament, is closely related to the biblical theme of completion and perfection. The root verb ἀπαρτίζω appears in contexts where the idea of bringing something to its full state or intended purpose is emphasized. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative of God's work in creation and redemption, where He brings His plans to completion.

In the New Testament, the idea of completion is often associated with spiritual maturity and the fulfillment of God's promises. For instance, in Philippians 1:6 (BSB), Paul expresses confidence that "He who began a good work in you will continue to perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." This reflects the theological understanding that God's work in believers is ongoing and will be brought to completion in His perfect timing.

The concept of ἀπαρτισμός can also be linked to the idea of the Church being perfected as the body of Christ, as seen in Ephesians 4:12-13 (BSB), where the goal is to "equip the saints for works of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ."
