Strong's Lexicon holokléria: Completeness, wholeness, soundness Original Word: ὁλοκληρία Word Origin: Derived from ὅλος (holos, meaning "whole") and κλήρος (kleros, meaning "lot" or "inheritance") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew concept of שָׁלוֹם (shalom, Strong's H7965) aligns with "holokléria" in its emphasis on completeness and well-being. Usage: The term "holokléria" refers to a state of being complete or whole, often in the context of physical health or spiritual integrity. It implies a condition where nothing is lacking, and everything is in its proper place, functioning as intended. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the restoration of health or the integrity of a person. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of wholeness was significant in both physical and philosophical contexts. Health was seen as a balance of bodily elements, and completeness was a desirable state in both personal and communal life. In Jewish thought, wholeness was often associated with shalom, a Hebrew concept encompassing peace, completeness, and welfare.
