καταρτίζω
katartízō · Greek · Strong's G2675 · 13 occurrences
The KJV renders 14 different Hebrew and Greek words as “perfect”
What it means
to complete thoroughly, i.e. repair (literally or figuratively) or adjust
from G2596 (κατά) and a derivative of G739 (ἄρτιος);
How the KJV renders it
fit, frame, mend, perfect, prepare, restore
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“perfect”
“prepare”
“restore”
“mend”
also renders châzaq (H2388)
