Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συμμιμητής, the concept of imitation and following examples can be related to Hebrew terms that describe following or walking in the ways of God, such as הלך (halak, Strong's H1980), which means "to walk" or "to follow." This reflects the biblical theme of walking in the ways of the Lord and adhering to His commandments as a community of faith.

It emphasizes the communal aspect of discipleship, where believers are encouraged to imitate not only Christ but also those who exemplify Christ-like behavior within the community. |
