STRONGS NT 1795: ἐντυπόω

ἐντυπόω, ἐντύπω: perfect passive participle ἐντετυπωμενος; to engrave, imprint (a figure): (followed by the dative (Rec. with ἐν)), 2 Corinthians 3:7 (cf. Winers Grammar, 634f (589)). (Aristotle, Dio Cassius, Plutarch, and in earlier fragment in Athen.)

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from ἐν (en, "in") and τύπος (typos, "mark, impression, form").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐντυπόω, the concept of impressing or engraving can be related to Hebrew words such as חָקַק (chaqaq, Strong's 2710), meaning "to engrave" or "to inscribe," and חָתַם (chatham, Strong's 2856), meaning "to seal" or "to imprint." These terms convey similar ideas of marking or forming an image, which are integral to understanding the transformative work of God in the believer's life.

Usage: The term ἐντυπόω is not directly used in the New Testament text but is related to the concept of impressing or forming an image or pattern. It is often associated with the idea of imprinting a likeness or character onto something.

Context: The Greek verb ἐντυπόω, though not appearing directly in the New Testament, carries significant theological implications in understanding the process of spiritual formation and transformation. The concept of impressing or stamping is metaphorically applied to the believer's life, where the image of Christ is to be formed within. This aligns with passages that speak of being conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29) and the transformation by the renewing of the mind (Romans 12:2). The idea of imprinting suggests a deep, lasting change, akin to the way a seal impresses its image onto wax. This transformation is not superficial but involves a profound change in character and nature, reflecting the divine image.

In the broader biblical narrative, the concept of being impressed or stamped with God's image is foundational. Humanity is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), and the redemptive work of Christ aims to restore this image, marred by sin. The process of sanctification can be seen as the Holy Spirit's work in impressing the character of Christ onto the believer, shaping them into His likeness.
