τελειότης G5047
completeness, perfection, especially of moral or spiritual maturity
This term denotes completeness or perfection, particularly in moral and spiritual development. Paul uses it in Colossians to describe love as the bond of perfection that binds all virtues together. In Hebrews, it appears in an exhortation to leave elementary teachings and press on toward maturity. The word emphasizes not just an endpoint but the fullness and wholeness of character that comes through growth.

1. sense 1 — The Greek philosophical and Septuagint background points to completeness of character or development. In Col 3:14, love functions as the perfecting bond that holds all Christian virtues in unity. Heb 6:1 calls believers beyond foundational teachings toward spiritual maturity (τελειότης), suggesting a progressive aspect of perfection rather than instant arrival. 2×
