What it means

A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.

AI Summary

τελέω means to bring something to completion or accomplishment 1234 — to finish a task, journey, or course 123, to complete a set of words, actions, or events 1, and more broadly to carry out, execute, perform, or fulfil something such as a duty, a law, a prophecy, or a thing that has been spoken 13. In this sense it covers things like finishing a race or a speech, fulfilling what was written or spoken, and completing an action to its intended end 13.

τελέω also means to pay, especially a debt or a tax that is owed 1234.
