Basic HTML Version
“accompaniment” is not excluded, practical assistance seems to be generally in view, as
indicated by Paul’s word to Titus to set forward Zenas and Apollos on their journey and
to see “that nothing be wanting unto them.” In regard to the parting of Paul from the
elders of Ephesus at Miletus, personal “accompaniment” is especially in view, perhaps
not without the suggestion of assistance, Acts 20:38,
RV
“brought him on his way”;
“accompaniment” is also indicated in 21:5; “they all with wives and children brought us
on our way, till we were out of the city.” In Acts 15:3, both ideas perhaps are suggested.

3.
(
!
, 5055), “to finish, to bring to an end” (
, “an end”), frequently
signifies, not merely to terminate a thing, but to carry out a thing to the full. It is used
especially in the Apocalypse, where it occurs eight times, and is rendered “finish” in
10:7; 11:7, and in the
RV
of 15:1, which rightly translates it “(in them) is finished (the
wrath of God).” So in v. 8; in 17:17,
RV
, “accomplish,” and “finish” in 20:3, 5, 7; in Luke
2:39,
RV
, “accomplish,” for

4.
(
# !
, 2005), , “up,” intensive, and No. 3, is a strengthened form of
that verb, in the sense of “accomplishing.” The fuller meaning is “to accomplish
perfectly”; in Rom. 15:28,
RV
, “accomplish”; “perfecting” in 2 Cor. 7:1; “complete” in
8:6 and 11; “completion” in the latter part of this 11th verse, which is better than
“performance”; “perfected” in Gal. 3:3; “perfect” in Phil. 1:6. In Heb. 8:5 the margin
rightly has “complete” instead of “make,” with regard to the tabernacle. In Heb. 9:6 it is
translated “accomplish” and in 1 Pet. 5:9. See

5.

same meaning. The main distinction is that
more frequently signifies “to fulfill,”
, more frequently, “to make perfect,” one of the chief features of the Epistle to the
Hebrews, where it occurs nine times. It is rendered “accomplish” in the
RV
of John 4:34;
