         DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:θεός}[a] ‘God,’ {D:12.1}) the nature or state of being God

         Glosses: ['deity', 'divine nature', 'divine being']

         Comments: The expression ‘divine nature’ may be rendered in a number of languages as ‘just what God is like’ or ‘how God is’ or ‘what God is.’ In {S:04500102000036} ‘deity’ may sometimes be expressed as ‘the fact that he is God’ or ‘… is truly God.’|In {S:06100100400028} ‘to share in the very being of God,’ one may speak of ‘to share in what God is like’ or ‘to become in a measure like God.’ It is important, of course, to avoid the implication that people can become completely God.
