    Comments: The phrase ‘as in a mirror’ may be translated in some languages as ‘as though we were looking into a mirror’ or ‘as though what we saw was in a mirror.’ In some languages, however, one does not say ‘in a mirror’ but ‘through a mirror’ or ‘by means of a mirror.’ For another interpretation of κατοπτρίζομαι in {S:04700301800018}, see {D:14.52}.

    DefinitionShort: to reflect light or visual patterns coming from some source
    Glosses: to reflect
    Comments: In order to speak of a reflection of light, it may be necessary to say ‘to throw back the light’ or ‘to shine back the form.’ Sometimes it is necessary to stipulate a type of object which reflects such light, for example, ‘we are a shining object that shows back the glory of the Lord.’ For another interpretation of κατοπτρίζομαι in {S:04700301800018}, see {D:24.44}.
