Panteles marks an action or condition as extending without remainder, in saving and in inability to straighten.

The attested use marks completeness without remainder: Hebrews 7:25 applies it to saving those who draw near through him, while Luke 13:11 applies it to the woman’s inability to straighten up.

Senses in use

  1. Complete extent of an action or condition · dominant

    Both occurrences use the accusative singular neuter form. In Hebrews 7:25, the form qualifies the stated saving of those who draw near to God through him; the APB renders the clause “he is able to save completely.” In Luke 13:11, it qualifies the woman’s inability to straighten up; the APB renders that she “could not straighten up at all.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term’s complete extent with “completely” in Hebrews 7:25 and “at all” in Luke 13:11. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall force rather than establish separate meanings.
