As a pers. principle it dwells in humans Ro 7:17, 20, viz., in the flesh (s. σάρξ 2cα) 8:3; cp. vs. 2; 7:25. The earthly body is hence a σῶμα τῆς ἁ. 6:6 (Col 2:11 v.l.).—As abstr. for concr. τὸν μὴ γνόντα ἁ. ὑπέρ ἡμῶν ἁμαρτίαν ἐποίησεν (God) made him, who never sinned, to be sin (i.e. the guilty one) for our sakes 2 Cor 5:21.

⑤ a being in conflict at a transcendent level

ⓐ the two sides of human nature as ὁ ἔξω ἄ. the outer being, i.e. human beings in their material, transitory, and sinful aspects 2 Cor 4:16, and, on the other hand, ὁ ἔσω ἄ. the inner being, i.e. humans in their transcendent significance, striving toward God Ro 7:22; 2 Cor 4:16; Eph 3:16 (cp.

Mensch in der Verkünd. der Ev.: FTillmann Festschr. ’34, 14–24; Gutbrod op. cit. 2cα; WKümmel, Man in the NT, tr. JVincent, ’63; also Vock and Seiler ἀνήρ end.—B. 80. EDNT (lit.). DELG. M-M. TW. Sv.

ἄνω adv. of place (the usual adv. form of ἀνά; Hom.+).

① at a position above another position, above (opp. κάτω as Aristot. p. 6a, 13; Aeneas Tact. 1674; Philo, Conf. Ling. 139, Deus Imm. 175 al.; Jos., C. Ap. 1, 77; Tat.; Ath. 22, 6; Mel., P. 44, 314f) ἐν τ. οὐρανῷ ἄ. in the heaven above Ac 2:19 (Jo 3:3 v.l.; cp. Ex 20:4; Dt 4:39; 5:8 al.; Herm. Wr., Fgm.

The pious person ἄνω μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἀναβιώσας εὐφρανθήσεται on high the pious will live in (eternal) joy with the ancestors 2 Cl 19:4. ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἔστη ἄ. the hand (of the shepherd, who intended to strike) was arrested mid-air GJs18:3 (not pap). ἕως ἄ.

Gal 4:26 (Mel., P. 45, 316; ParJer 5:35 πόλις; s. Ἱεροσόλυμα 3 and cp. Jos., Bell. 5, 400 ὁ ἄ. δικαστής; TestAbr A 7 p. 84, 16 [Stone p. 16] ὁ ἄ. βασιλεύς, both of God).—As subst. τὰ ἄ. what is above=heaven (cp. Herm. Wr. 4, 11 τὴν πρὸς τὰ ἄνω ὁδόν; Theoph. Ant. 2, 17 [p. 142, 18] τὰ ἄνω φρονοῦντες) ἐγὼ ἐκ τῶν ἄ. εἰμί I am from the world above J 8:23. τὰ ἄ. ζητεῖν seek what is above (heavenly) Col 3:1. τὰ ἄ. φρονεῖν vs. 2.

② extension toward a goal which is up, upward(s), up (Alex. Aphr., Fat. 27, II 2 p. 198, 28 ἄνω φέρεσθαι=raise oneself upward; POxy 744, 8 [I B.C.]; I Esdr 9:47; En 14:8; Philo, Spec.

Also ἦρεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἄνω, where ἄ. is superfluous J 11:41. πάντων ἦν τὰ πρόσωπα ἄ. βλέποντα all looked up GJs 18:2 (not pap). ῥίζα ἄ. φύουσα a root growing up Hb 12:15 (Dt 29:17). ἡ ἄνω κλῆσις the upward call Phil 3:14 (cp.

ἐλευθερία, ας, ἡ (Pind., Hdt.; ins, pap, LXX, Philo, Joseph.; Just., D. 1, 5; Tat. 7, 1; Mel., P. 49, 353; 68, 490) the state of being free, freedom, liberty (for a Hellenic perspective Dio Chrys. 30 and 80; opp. δουλεία: Jos., Bell. 7, 255) 2 Pt 2:19; IPol 4:3; Hs 5, 2, 7. Esp. of freedom which stands in contrast to constraint of the Mosaic law, looked upon as slavery Gal 2:4; 5:1 (τῇ ἐ. dat. of advantage for freedom. KRengstorf, TLZ 76, ’51, 659–62). In contrast to legal serfdom, Js 1:25 refers to νόμος τ. ἐλευθερίας (FNötscher, Vom AT zum NT, ’62, 80–122 [Qumran]); 2:12 (on both Js-passages s. EStauffer, TLZ 77, ’52, 527–32).—In gener. of the liberty of a Christian (cp. Philo, Conf. Lingu. 94, Migr. Abr. 25, Rer. Div. Her. 124; 273; 275) 1 Cor 10:29; 2 Cor 3:17. ἐπʼ ἐλευθερίᾳ καλεῖσθαι be called for freedom (=to be free; cp. Plut., Sulla 9, 14; SIG² 845, 4; 8; BGU 1141, 24 [14 B.C.].—Lucian, Sat. 9 ἐπὶ τῇ ἐλευθερίᾳ ζῶμεν) Gal 5:13a (s. καλέω 4). This freedom must not degenerate into license (Iren. 4, 37, 4 [Harv. II 288, 11]; cp. 4, 39, 3 [Harv. II 300, 4]) vs. 13b; 1 Pt 2:16.

ὁμοίωμα, ατος, τό (ὁμοιόω; Pla., Parm. 132d; 133d, Phdr. 250b; Ps.-Aristot., Int. 1, 16a, 7f; SIG 669, 52; PFay 106, 20; LXX; En 31:2; Just., D. 94, 3).

① state of having common experiences, likeness (ἐν ὁμ. τυγχάνειν ‘liken’ Theoph. Ant. 2, 16 [p. 140, 12]) οὗ (Χριστοῦ) καὶ κατὰ τὸ ὁμοίωμα ἡμᾶς … οὕτως ἐγερεῖ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ in accordance with whose likeness (=just as God raised him) his Father will also raise us in this way ITr 9:2. This is prob. the place for Ro 6:5 εἰ σύμφυτοι γεγόναμεν τῷ ὁμοιώματι τ. θανάτου αὐτοῦ if we have been united (i.e. αὐτῷ with him; cp. vs. 4 συνετάφημεν αὐτῷ) in the likeness of his death (=in the same death that he died); but s. PGächter, ZKT 54, 1930, 88–92; OKuss, D. Römerbr. I, ’63, 301. On the syntax, B-D-F §194, 2; Rob. 528. ἁμαρτάνειν ἐπὶ τῷ ὁμοιώματι τῆς παραβάσεως Ἀδάμ sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression (=just as Adam did, who transgressed one of God’s express commands) 5:14.—Abstr. for concr. τὰ ὁμοιώματα = τὰ ὅμοια: ὸ̔ς ἃν τὰ ὁμοιώματα ποιῇ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν whoever does things similar to (the deeds of) the gentiles = acts as the gentiles do Hm 4, 1, 9. περὶ τοιούτων τινῶν ὁμοιωμάτων πονηρῶν (thoughts) about any other wicked things similar to these 4, 1, 1.—ἐν τίνι ὁμοιώματι παραβάλωμεν αὐτήν; with what corresponding thing can we compare it? Mk 4:30 v.l.

② state of being similar in appearance, image, form

ⓐ image, copy (Dt 4:16ff; 1 Km 6:5; 4 Km 16:10; 1 Macc 3:48; Just., D. 94, 3) ὁμοίωμα εἰκόνος φθαρτοῦ ἀνθρώπου (s. εἰκών 3; pleonasm as Maximus Tyr. 27, 3c εἰς μορφῆς εἶδος) Ro 1:23 (cp. Ps 105:20).

ⓑ form, appearance (schol. on Apollon. Rhod. 4, 825–31a ὁμ. κ. πρόσωπον γυναικός=figure and face of a woman; Dt 4:12; Josh 22:28; Ezk 1:16; Jos., Ant. 8, 195; Hippol., Ref. 5, 19, 20; 7, 28, 3) τὰ ὁμοιώματα τῶν ἀκρίδων ὅμοια (v.l. ὅμοιοι) ἵπποις the locusts resembled horses in appearance Rv 9:7.

③ There is no general agreement on the mng. in two related passages in which Paul uses our word in speaking of Christ’s earthly life. The expressions ἐν ὁμοιώματι ἀνθρώπων (P⁴⁶, Marcion, Orig.: ἀνθρώπου) Phil 2:7 and ἐν ὁμοιώματι σαρκὸς ἁμαρτίας Ro 8:3 could mean that the Lord in his earthly ministry possessed a completely human form and that his physical body was capable of sinning as human bodies are, or that he had the form of a human being and was looked upon as such (cp. En 31:2 ἐν ὁμ. w. gen.=‘similar to’, ‘looking like’; Aesop, Fab. 140 H. of Hermes ὁμοιωθεὶς ἀνθρώπῳ), but without losing his identity as a divine being even in this world. In the light of what Paul says about Jesus in general it is prob. that he uses our word to bring out both that Jesus in his earthly career was similar to sinful humans and yet not totally like them (s. JWeiss, Das Urchristentum1917, 376ff; cp. FGillman, CBQ 49, ’87, 597–604).—S. the lit. on ἁρπαγμός.—DELG s.v. ὅμοιο. M-M. EDNT. TW. Sv.
