παντελής G3838
complete, entire, absolute; utter and all-encompassing
This adjective denotes completeness or totality—all-complete, absolute, perfect. Classical sources use it of complete equipment, absolute freedom, or total madness. The adverbial form means 'altogether, utterly, completely.' Both New Testament occurrences use the adverb. Luke 13:11 describes a woman 'completely unable' to straighten up. Hebrews 7:25 declares that Christ can save 'completely' or 'to the uttermost' those who draw near to God through him. The term emphasizes the comprehensive, exhaustive, or absolute nature of an action or state.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Luke 13:11 uses the neuter adjective substantively to describe the woman's total inability to stand upright, while Hebrews 7:25 employs it to describe the comprehensive scope of Christ's saving work. The translations emphasize completeness: English 'complete, uttermost,' Spanish 'completamente, completo,' French 'complètement,' German 'ganz.' Luke's use stresses absolute physical limitation; Hebrews' use proclaims absolute salvific efficacy. Both convey the idea of something carried to its fullest extent without limitation or incompleteness. 2×
