Strong's Lexicon theiódés: Divine, godlike Original Word: θεοειδής Word Origin: Derived from θεός (theos, "God") and εἶδος (eidos, "form" or "appearance") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent to "theiódés," the concept of reflecting God's nature can be related to the Hebrew word צֶלֶם (tselem, Strong's H6754), meaning "image" or "likeness," as seen in Genesis 1:26, where humanity is created in the image of God. Usage: The term "theiódés" is used to describe something that possesses a divine or godlike quality. It conveys the idea of resembling or reflecting the nature of God. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the divine nature or attributes that believers are called to emulate. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of divinity was often associated with the pantheon of gods and their attributes. The use of "theiódés" in the New Testament reflects a shift from polytheistic understandings to the monotheistic view of the God of Israel. The early Christians were called to reflect God's character in their lives, distinguishing themselves from the surrounding pagan cultures.
