Pleroma

Pleroma (Koinē Greek: πλήρωμα, literally "fullness") generally refers to the totality of divine powers. It is used in Christian theological contexts, as well as in Gnosticism. The term also appears in the Epistle to the Colossians,[1] which is traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle.[2] The word is used 17 times in the New Testament.[3]
