Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the combination of ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and τελέω (teleō, meaning "to complete" or "to finish").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀποτελέω, similar concepts of completion and fulfillment can be found in Hebrew words such as כָּלָה (kalah, Strong's Hebrew 3615), meaning "to complete" or "to finish," and תָּמַם (tamam, Strong's Hebrew 8552), meaning "to be complete" or "to be finished." These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe the completion of tasks, fulfillment of promises, and the bringing of events to their intended conclusion.

Usage: The verb ἀποτελέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of completing or fulfilling a task, purpose, or process. It often implies the successful achievement of an intended outcome.

Context: The Greek verb ἀποτελέω appears in the New Testament to express the idea of completion or fulfillment. It is used in contexts where an action or process reaches its intended conclusion. This term underscores the notion of bringing something to its full and intended purpose, often in alignment with divine will or plan.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀποτελέω is used in passages that highlight the fulfillment of God's purposes or the completion of a believer's journey in faith. For example, in Romans 15:28, Paul speaks of having "completed" the task of delivering aid to the saints, indicating the successful accomplishment of his mission.

Theologically, ἀποτελέω can be seen as reflecting the broader biblical theme of God's faithfulness in bringing His plans to fruition. It emphasizes the assurance that what God begins, He will also bring to completion, as seen in Philippians 1:6, where the concept of God completing the good work He began in believers is echoed.
