Near synonyms 2 words
- παντελής pantelḗs · G3838 · always, forever, forever and ever
- Both terms are compound formations built on τέλος, "end," and converge on the sense of intensive completeness, total or absolute, so that each can serve as an intensive modifier of totality.
- τελείως teleíōs · G5049 · completely, totally, entirely
- Both terms express absolute completeness or totality. τελείως emphasizes completeness in the sense of firmness or unwavering certainty (particularly of hope), while ὁλοτελής conveys completeness carried through to the end or ultimate perfection. The limited attestation of each term (one occurrence) means their interchangeability is established within their attested contexts but cannot be verified across broader registers.
