4135 plērophoréō (from 4134 /plḗrēs, "full" and 5342 /phérō, "carry, bring") – properly, fully carry-through (make full); bear (or wear) fully.

4135 /plērophoréō ("fully carry through") is used of God's power bringing the believer to maximum potential, "matching" their true knowledge of Him (cf. 1 Cor 12:13).

4135 (plērophoreō) is often translated "giving full-assurance," but it properly means "bearing (wearing) the work of God to the fullest extent." That is, to the full capacity of the individual believer who is "fully persuaded" by Him.
