The meaning of Supply in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)su-pli': Philippians 4:19 for pleroo; I Corinthians 16:17; Philippians 2:30 for anapleroo; II Corinthians 9:12 (the King James Version); II 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 II Corinthians 9:10; Galatians 3:5; Colossians 2:9; II Peter 1:5, II Peter 1:11, we have epichoregeo, "to furnish besides," i.e. fully supply; in II Corinthians 9:10; I Peter 4:11 the simple choregeo, "to furnish,"
