In the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of spiritual maturity or the fulfillment of God's purposes. It is used to describe the culmination of a process, whether it be the completion of a task, the fulfillment of a prophecy, or the maturation of a believer's faith.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of perfection or completion was highly valued, often associated with the attainment of a goal or the fulfillment of one's potential. In the context of the New Testament, "teleiósis" reflects the Jewish understanding of spiritual maturity and the fulfillment of God's covenant promises. The term is deeply rooted in the idea of reaching the intended end or purpose, both individually and corporately as the body of Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 5050</b> <i>teleíōsis</i> (a feminine noun) – a brand of <i>consummation</i> (<i>completion</i>) which focuses on the final stage (<i>fulfillment, end</i>-phase) of the consummation process – see the correlating verb form (<a href="/greek/5048.htm">5048</a> <i>/teleióō</i>). <a href="/greek/5056.htm">See 5056</a> (<i>telos</i>).</p><p class="discovery">[See also 5047 (<i>teleiotēs</i>, another feminine noun from the same root) which stresses the <i>combination</i> of truth which sustains further consummation and <a href="/greek/5054.htm">5054</a> (<i>teleutḗ</i>) – a third feminine noun derived from this root meaning "death (consummation) in relation to the Lord's sovereign control of life."]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5048.htm">teleioó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>completion, perfection<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fulfillment (1), perfection (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5050: τελείωσις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">τελείωσις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">τελειώσεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">τελειόω</span>), <span class="accented">a completing, perfecting</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">fulfilment, accomplishment</span>; the event which verifies a promise (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">τελειόω</span></span>, 4): <a href="/interlinear/luke/1-45.htm">Luke 1:45</a> (Judith 10:9; <span class="abbreviation">Philo</span> de vit.
