Pass.: 1 aor. inf. πληροφορηθῆναι, ptc. πληροφορηθείς; pf. πεπληροφόρημαι, ptc. πεπληροφορημένος (Ctesias: 688 Fgm. 14 (42) Jac. p. 467, 9f [=Fgm. 29, 39 Müller]; elsewh. since LXX Eccl 8:11; TestAbr A 1 p. 78, 7f [Stone p. 4], B 7 p. 112, 5 v.l. [Stone p. 72; NTS 1, ’54/55, 223]; TestGad 2:4; BGU 665 II, 2 [I A.D.]; APF 5, 1913, 383 no. 69b, 5 [I/II A.D.]; BGU 747 I, 22 [139 A.D.]; PAmh 66 II, 42; POxy 509, 10 [both II A.D.]; Vett.

ⓐ w. a thing as obj. τὶ someth., adding to someth. that which it lacks, someth. like fill out, complement, aid τὸν πλοῦτον Hs 2:8a. τὰς ψυχάς 8b.—τὴν διακονίαν σου πληροφόρησον fulfill your ministry 2 Ti 4:5. Also the pass. ἵνα διʼ ἐμοῦ τὸ κήρυγμα πληροφορηθῇ vs. 17.—Of a request that is fulfilled Hm 9:2 (the pap use the word mainly in the sense ‘fully satisfy a demand’).— Accomplish τὰ πεπληροφορημένα ἐν ἡμῖν πράγματα the things that have been accomplished among us Lk 1:1 (s. M-JLagrange, Le sens de Luc 1:1 d’après les papyrus: Bull. d’ancienne Litt. et d’Arch. chrét. 2, 1912, 96–100; OPiper, Union Sem. Rev. 57, ’45, 15–25: Lk [and Ac] as ‘fulfillment’ of the OT.—S. also the lit. given s.v. παρακολουθέω, end). Some (e.g. KRengstorf, Das NT Deutsch ’37 ad loc.) would here transl. on which there is full conviction among us, and put the pass. under 2. But in view of Lk’s thematic emphasis on God’s βουλή (q.v. 2b), the idea of accomplishment of things planned seems more prob. (s. Lagrange).

Have perfect faith (i.e. limited by no doubt at all) εἰς τὸν κύριον in the Lord ISm 1:1. ἔν τινι in someth. IMg 11; IPhld ins.—Abs. (in case ἐν παντὶ κτλ. [s. 1b above] belongs to σταθῆτε) be fully assured τέλειοι καὶ πεπληροφορημένοι Col 4:12 (but in that case it may also mean here complete, finished). πληροφορηθέντες διὰ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τοῦ κυρίου be fully assured by the Lord’s resurrection 1 Cl 42:3. ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ νοὶ̈ πληροφορείσθω every one must be fully convinced in the person’s own mind Ro 14:5 (JBeckler, Biblica 65, ’84, 364).—Ltzm., Hdb. on Ro 4:21; Dssm.
