Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the base of ὁμός (homos), meaning "same" or "together."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of likeness or similarity is דָּמָה (dâmâh • Strong's Hebrew 1819), which means "to be like" or "to resemble." Another related term is כְּמוֹ (kəmô • Strong's Hebrew 3644), meaning "like" or "as." These terms are used in the Old Testament to express comparisons and analogies similar to those found in the New Testament with ὅμοιος.

Usage: The word ὅμοιος is used in the New Testament to draw comparisons or analogies, often in parables or teachings of Jesus, to illustrate spiritual truths or moral lessons. It appears in contexts where likeness or similarity is emphasized.

Context: The Greek adjective ὅμοιος is frequently employed in the New Testament to convey the concept of likeness or resemblance. It is a key term in the teachings of Jesus, particularly in the Synoptic Gospels, where it is used to introduce parables and metaphors that illustrate the nature of the Kingdom of Heaven or the character of God.

For example, in Matthew 13:31, Jesus uses ὅμοιος to compare the Kingdom of Heaven to a mustard seed: "He told them another parable: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.'" Here, ὅμοιος serves to draw a parallel between the small beginnings of the mustard seed and the expansive growth of the Kingdom.

Similarly, in Matthew 18:23, the term is used to introduce a parable about forgiveness: "Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants." The use of ὅμοιος in this context highlights the moral and ethical dimensions of the Kingdom, inviting listeners to reflect on their own actions and attitudes.

The word also appears in the Epistles, where it is used to describe the likeness of believers to Christ or to one another in terms of faith and conduct. In Philippians 2:7, Paul writes about Christ: "but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness." Here, ὅμοιος underscores the incarnation and humility of Christ.

Overall, ὅμοιος is a versatile term that enriches the theological and moral teachings of the New Testament by providing vivid imagery and relatable comparisons.
