         Glosses: ['likeness', 'image']

         Comments: In certain contexts the referents of εἰκών[a], {L:τύπος}[b], and {L:χάραγμα}[b] may have special religious significance in that they may refer to idols, but the focal component for the translator is that of a likeness or resemblance (see {D:58.35}). In contexts such as {S:04002202000012} an equivalent translation may be simply ‘a picture,’ but in {S:04500102300020} and {S:04400704300030} one may use the same expression as is employed to render {L:εἴδωλον}[a] ‘idol’ ({D:6.97}).

         DefinitionShort: that which has the same form as something else

         Glosses: ['same form', 'likeness']

         Comments: Since the expressions τοῦ χοϊκοῦ and τοῦ ἐπουρανίου refer to individuals, it is much more satisfactory to translate {S:04601504900022} as ‘just as we have the likeness of the man made of earth, so we will have the likeness of the Man from heaven.’|In {S:04601504900022} εἰκών designates similarity in class or kind, while in {S:04500102300020} εἰκών indicates a fashioned object (see {D:6.96}).
