Holos marks an entity, place, group, period, or condition as complete in its full extent.

The adjective marks a bounded entity or collective as complete, as with a body, assembly, law, household, or world. It also extends over the full reach of places and populations, can cover an entire period, and can describe a person or body as completely in a stated condition.

1. The entirety of an entity or collective · dominant

   The forms mark a single body, group, law, household, or world as a complete whole. In 1 Corinthians 12:17 the nominative neuter form concerns the body as a whole; in Galatians 5:3 the accusative masculine form concerns doing the law in its entirety; and in Acts 15:22 the dative feminine form accompanies the assembly acting together. The APB renders these clauses with expressions such as "the whole body," "the whole law," and "the whole assembly."

2. Full extent across a place or population · common

   With regions, cities, lands, and their inhabitants, the adjective marks the extent over which an event, report, or action reaches. In Acts 13:49 the genitive feminine form accompanies the word spreading through the region, and in Acts 21:30 the nominative feminine form describes the city being stirred up. The APB renders the relevant clauses with "through the whole region" and "The whole city."

3. An entire span of time · occasional

   The adjective can delimit a period as complete from beginning to end. In Acts 11:26 the accusative masculine form occurs with a year during which teaching took place, while Acts 28:30 uses the accusative feminine form with two years of residence. The APB renders the periods as "a whole year" and "two whole years."

4. Complete bodily condition · rare

   In statements about bodily condition, the adjective marks the condition as applying without an excluded part. John 7:23 uses the accusative masculine form where a man is made entirely well, and Luke 11:36 uses the nominative neuter form where the body has no dark part. The APB renders these clauses "entirely well" and "wholly bright."

   John 7:23Luke 11:36John 13:10

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly presents the adjective through "whole" and "all," and for geographic spread through "throughout." It also uses phrases such as "entirely well" and "wholly bright" where the clause concerns complete condition; these renderings reflect the verse context rather than a word-by-word alignment.
