and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ: The word "end" (telios) in this passage, used only once in the New Testament, means "perfectly, completely" (Thayer 619-1-5049). In this case, it refers to the time when God’s eternal plan for man’s redemption culminates in judgment.
