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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4135</b> <i>plērophoréō</i> (from <a href="/greek/4134.htm">4134</a> <i>/plḗrēs</i>, "full" and <a href="/greek/5342.htm">5342</a> <i>/phérō</i>, "carry, bring") – properly, fully carry-through (make <i>full</i>); <i>bear</i> (or <i>wear</i>) <i>fully</i>.</p><p class="discovery"><a href="/greek/4135.htm">4135</a> <i>/plērophoréō</i> ("fully carry through") is used of God's power bringing the believer to <i>maximum</i> potential, "matching" their true knowledge of Him (cf. 1 Cor 12:13).</p><p class="discovery">4135 (<i>plērophoreō</i>) is often translated "giving <i>full-assurance</i>," but it properly means "<i>bearing </i>(<i>wearing</i>) the work of God to the <i>fullest extent</i>."
