I dont know about this Jacob. Every time telos is used, could you imagine translating it goal? Try it I did, and it left me shaking my head
Luk 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.(goal)
Jhn 13:1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.(goal)
Phl 3:19 Whose end(goal) [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
