Thayer's Greek Lexicon

ὁλόκληρος, ὁλόκληρον (ὅλος and κλῆρος, properly, all that has fallen by lot), complete in all its parts, in no part lacking or unsound, complete, entire, whole: λίθοι, untouched by a tool, Deu 27:6; Jos 20:4 (viii. 31) 1Ma 4:47; of a body without blemish or defect, whether of a priest or of a victim, Philo de vici. § 12; Josephus, Antiquities 3, 12, 2 ((cf. Havercamp’s Josephus, ii., p. 321)). Ethically, free from sin, faultless (R. V. entire): 1Th 5:23; plural, connected with τέλειοι and with the addition of ἐν μηδενί λειπόμενοι, Jas 1:4; complete in all respects, consummate, δικαιοσύνη, Wis 15:3; εὐσέβεια, 4Ma 15:17. (Plato, Polybius, Lcian, Epictetus, others; the Sept. for ùÈÑìÅí, Deu 27:6; תָּמִים, Lev 23:15; Eze 15:5.) [SYNONYMS: ὁλόκληρος, τέλειος (cf. Trench, § xxii.): ’in the ὁλόκληρος no grace which ought to be in a Christian man is deficient; in the τέλειος no grace is merely in its weak imperfect beginnings, but all have reached a certain ripeness and maturity.’]
