TELOS
American singular: the point aimed at, the end of this age
This Koine Greek word concerns the goal of Theos’ working with the existent cosmos.
Almost Greek: (Words in italics are translator’s additions)
1st Thessalonians 2.14: You also suffered via your fellow countrymen as they also did via the Judaeans, those killing both the Kurios Jesus and their own prophetai [before tellers, prophets]; also driving us out. They not please Theos. They are antagonistic to all men, preventing us from speaking to the ethnoi [nations, races, non-Jews, gentiles] in order that [lest] they might sothosin [be made safe, be saved]. At all times fulfilling their hamartia [a miss of the mark or goal; error, offence; sin], upon them has come the orge [violent passion, fury, rage, wrath] of Theos to the telos.
1st Corinthians 1.4: I always eucharisto [gratefully give thanks] to my Theos (concerning you) for the chariti [graciousness] of Theos given to you in Jesus, the Christo [Anointed One, Mashiyach, Messiah, Christ], that in everything you were made wealthy in Him; in every logos [word] and all knowledge, even as the testimony of the Christou was stabilized in you. Also, since you have been awaiting the appearance of our Kuriou Jesus, the Christou, you aren’t lacking in any charismati [gifts, endowments, faculties, deliverances]. He [Theos] also will stabilize you until telos, blameless in the day of our Kuriou Jesus, the Christou. Pistos [trustworthy, faithful] is Theos via Whom you were called into koinonian [sharing, partnership] with His Son, our Kuriou Jesus, the Christou.

Corinthians 15.20: But
now, the Christos has been awakened from dead. He was caused to be a beginning of sacrifice [the “first fruits”]
of those having been put to sleep for since death is via a man [Adam] and via a Man [Jesus] anastasis [a
standing up again, resurrection] of the dead. For as in Adam the whole human race dies, so also, in the Christo
all will be made alive but each in his own order [turn]. First the beginning of the sacrifice
(the Christos), then comes the telos,
when He surrenders the kingdom to Theos (also the Father); when He [Jesus]
katargese [renders entirely idle; useless] all commencement [rank],
all privilege [authority] and all dunamin [force, power]. It is
right for Him to reign until He [Father] wishes to place all the hateful
under His [Jesus’] feet. The last hateful one katargeitai [rendered entirely idle; useless] is Death for He [Father] subordinated
all under His [Jesus’] feet.
Romans 6.15: Accordingly, what? shall we hamartano
because we aren’t under law; conversely under charis? Let it not be caused to
be! Not know you that to whom you present yourselves as slaves to obedience (you are slaves to whom you obey), either
(in fact) slaves of hamartia toward
death or slaves to Father God
obedient toward dikaiosune [equity, justification, rightness]? But
charis [gratitude] to Theos that although
you were slaves to hamartia, you obeyed emergent from the heart that type of
teaching to which you were surrendered and having been freed off hamartia, you
were enslaved to dikaiosune. I speak as a man due to the feebleness of your
flesh, for just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness toward lawlessness, in this
way now you present your members as slaves to dikaiosune toward hagiasmos
[holiness, purity]. Because you were slave of hamartia, you were free to
dikaiosune. Accordingly, what fruit had you (at that time) over which now you
feel ashamed? for the telos of those fruits
is death. But now having been freed off hamartia (having been enslaved to
Theos), you have your fruit toward hagiasmos and the telos; eternal
life. For the wages of hamartia is
death but the free charisma of Theos is eternal life in our kurios Jesus
the Christos.
Luke 21.7: “Teacher! (accordingly) when will these occurrences be and what will be the sign attending whenever these occurrences are caused to be?” And He said, “Watch out! lest you be caused to stray, for many will come on [in] My name, saying, ‘I AM’ and ‘the time has arrived.’ Accordingly, not go after [follow behind] them. Now when you hear of warfare and disturbances, not be frightened. It is necessary for these disturbances to be caused to be first; conversely, not directly comes the telos.”
Matthew 24.3 Now, He sitting down upon the Mount of Olives, we mathetai approached Him down to Himself, saying, “Tell us at what time these events will be and what will be the semeion of Your being near and of the entire completion of the age?” And responding, Jesus said to us, “Watch out that not any of you causes anyone to go astray. For many will come upon My name, saying, ‘I AM the Christos.’ And many will cause others to go astray. But you are about to hear of warfare and rumors of warfare. Don’t be upset! For it is necessary for all of this to be (caused to be); conversely, it not yet is the telos. For ethnos will be roused upon [against] ethnos and kingdom upon kingdom and there will be famine and plagues and commotion [gales and earthquakes] down in various places but all these occurrences are merely the beginning pangs [birth contractions]. Then is when they will surrender you to torture and will kill you and you will be misoumenoi [detested] by all the ethnon via My name. And then is when many skandalisthesontai [will be tripped, will be entrapped, will be scandalized] and paradosousi [will surrender] one another and they misesousin [will detest] one another. And many pseudoprophetai will be aroused and will cause many to go astray. And via abounding lawlessness, the agape of many will chill but the person enduring to the telos, the same sothesetai [will be made safe, will be saved]. And this euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] of the Kingdom keruchthesetai [will be proclaimed, will be heralded] in the whole of the earth to evidence to all the ethnesi and then is when the telos will arrive.”
