πληρώσῃ
plēróō
He might fill
To make full, to fill up, or cause to abound; to complete something so that nothing is lacking. In extended senses: (1) to fill a container or space; (2) to complete a required time or task; (3) to fulfill or bring to realization (an obligation, requirement, word, or prophecy); (4) to bring to full measure or maturity (of character, knowledge, etc.); (5) to carry out or accomplish fully (assigned duties, command, or role). Thus, depending on context, πληρόω can mean to physically fill, to bring to a state of completeness, or to fulfill in the sense of carrying out what was previously planned or foretold.

SIBI-P1 Translation G4137-21
he may complete
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, third person singular, conveys a simple, undefined act viewed as a whole with potential or purpose nuance, hence "may complete." "Complete" reflects the root idea of bringing something to fullness or fulfillment without adding contextual specificity. |
