    DefinitionShort: the two-dimensional surface of an object
    Glosses: ['surface', 'face']
    Comments: In a number of cases one does not translate πρόσωπον in the sense of ‘surface’ since it is an implied component of other terms. For example, the phrase ‘on the earth’ implies the surface of the earth.

    LastEdited: 2022-02-07 12:15:34
    DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: face to face) the position of one person facing another, with the implication of direct, personal interaction
    Glosses: face to face
    Comments: The implication of this idiom in {S:04601301200024} is that there will be clear understanding, and in some languages it is necessary to shift somewhat the figurative expression. For example, it may be necessary to render this passage as ‘how we now understand is like seeing a dim image in a mirror, but then we shall understand as clearly as though we were seeing face to face’ or ‘… as though we were seeing something directly.’

    Glosses: ['to judge on the basis of appearance', 'to render a superficial judgment', 'to pay no attention to a person’s status', 'to judge on the basis of reputation']
    Comments: In some languages an equivalent of this expression in {S:04002201600068} may be ‘when you judge, you look into a man’s heart’ or ‘when you judge you see more than a person’s face’ or ‘when you judge a person, who he appears to be doesn’t count.’

    Glosses: ['to decide firmly', 'to resolve', 'to make up one’s mind definitely']
