Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]
"complete, sound in every part" (holos, "whole," kleros, "a lot," i.e., with all that has fallen by lot), is used ethically in 1—Thessalonians 5:23 , indicating that every grace present in Christ should be manifested in the believer; so James 1:4 . In the Sept. the word is used, e.g., of a "full" week, Leviticus 23:15; of altar stones unhewn, Deuteronomy 27:6; Joshua 8:31; of a "full-grown" vine tree, useless for work, Ezekiel 15:5; of the "sound" condition of a sheep, Zechariah 11:16 .
