Fulfil
fool-fil' (male; pleroo, teleo, with other words): "Fulfill" is used
(1) in a sense more or less obsolete, "to fill up," complete (Gen 29:21; Gen 29:28; Exod 23:26; Job 36:17, the Revised Version (British and American) "full," margin "filled up"; Matt 3:15, "to fulfill all righteousness"; Phil 2:2, "Fulfil ye my joy," the American Standard Revised Version "make full"; compare 2 Cor 10:6);
(2) in the sense of "to accomplish," "to carry into effect," as to fulfill the word of Yahweh (1 Kgs 2:27; 1 Kgs 8:15; 1 Kgs 8:24; 2 Chr 36:21, etc.); in the New Testament very frequently used of the fulfillment of prophetic Scripture (Matt 1:22; Matt 2:15, etc.). Love is declared to be "the fulfillment (pleroma, "fullness") of the law" (Rom 13:10). For "fulfill" the Revised Version (British and American) has "do" (Rev 17:17); for "fulfilled" has "performed" (2 Sam 14:22), "accomplished" (Ezra 1:1; Matt 5:18; Matt 24:34; Luke 21:32; John 19:28), with numerous other changes.
