V. give place): τίνι, Galatians 2:5. (From Homer down.) (Compare: ὑπείκω.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root εἰκω (eiko), meaning "to be like" or "to resemble."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for εἰκός, the concept of likelihood or reasonableness can be related to Hebrew terms that express wisdom, understanding, or discernment, such as חָכְמָה (chokmah, Strong's 2451) for wisdom, or בִּינָה (binah, Strong's 998) for understanding. These terms similarly convey the idea of aligning with God's order and making decisions that reflect divine insight. Usage: In the New Testament, εἰκός is used to express the concept of likelihood or reasonableness. It is not frequently found in the biblical text but is understood in the context of discussions about what is fitting or expected. Context: The Greek word εἰκός appears in the New Testament to denote what is reasonable or likely to occur. This term is often used in philosophical and rhetorical contexts outside the Bible to discuss the nature of probability and expectation. Within the biblical narrative, εἰκός can be understood as a reflection of the natural order or divine logic, where certain outcomes are anticipated based on God's established principles or human experience.
