Strong's Lexicon ekteleó: To complete, to accomplish, to finish, to carry out fully. Original Word: ἐκτελέω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb τελέω (teleó, meaning "to complete" or "to finish"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of completion or fulfillment is כָּלָה (kalah), which means to finish, complete, or bring to an end. Usage: The verb ἐκτελέω conveys the idea of bringing something to its full completion or carrying out a task to its intended end. It implies not just the initiation of an action but seeing it through to its conclusion. In the New Testament, it often refers to fulfilling duties, completing tasks, or bringing plans to fruition. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of completion was significant in various aspects of life, including philosophy, religion, and daily tasks. The idea of fulfilling one's duty or completing a task was highly valued. In the Jewish context, the completion of religious duties and adherence to the law were central to spiritual life. The New Testament usage of ἐκτελέω reflects these cultural values, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and faithfulness in fulfilling God's will.
