Supply

SUPPLY su-pli':

Philippians 4:19 for pleroo; 1 Corinthians 16:17; Philippians 2:30 for anapleroo; 2 Corinthians 9:12 (the King James Version); 2 Corinthians 11:9 for prosanapleroo. All three verbs mean "to fill," the 3rd containing the additional connotation "fill up to a certain point." Ephesians 4:16; Philippians 1:19 for the noun epichoregia, literally, "an additional supply." But no special force of "additional" seems to be contained in the passages. In 2 Corinthians 9:10 a; Galatians 3:5; Colossians 2:9; 2 Peter 1:5,11, we have epichoregeo, "to furnish besides," i.e. fully supply; in 2 Corinthians 9:10 b; 1 Peter 4:11 the simple choregeo, "to furnish,"
