Thayer's Greek Lexicon

διατελέω, διατέλω; to bring thoroughly to an end, accomplish, (cf. διά, C. 2); with the addition of τόν βίον, τόν χρόνον, etc., it is joined to participles or adjectives and denotes the continuousness of the act or state expressed by the prcp. or adjective (as in Herodotus 6, 117; 7, 111; Plato, Apology, p. 31 a.); oftener, however, without the accusative it is joined with the same force simply to the participles or adjectives: thus, ἄσιτοι διατελεῖτε, ye continue fasting, constantly fast, Act 27:33 (so ἀσφαλεστερος (others, ἀσφαλεστατος) διατελει, Thucydides 1, 34; often in Xenophon; Winers Grammar, 348 (326); (Buttmann, 304 (261))).
