Definition

εἰκών, -όνος (cf. ἔοικα),
[in LXX chiefly for צֶלֶם ;]
an image, likeness: Mat.22:20, Mrk.12:16, Luk.20:24, Rom.1:23, 1Co.15:49, Rev.13:14, 15 14:9, 11 15:2 16:2 19:20 20:4; opposite to σκιά, Heb.10:1; of man, εἰ. θεοῦ, 1 Co 11:7; of the regenerate, εἰ. τ. θεοῦ Col.3:10 (see Lft., in l.); εἰ. τ. υἱοῦ τ. θεοῦ, Rom.8:29, 2Co.3:18; of Christ, εἰ. τ. θεοῦ, 2Co.4:4, Col.1:15.† SYN.: ὁμοίωμα, denoting resemblance, which may however be merely accidental. εἰ. is a derived likeness and like the head on a coin or the parental likeness in a child, implies an archetype. Cf. also εἶδος, appearance, not necessarily based on reality; σκιά, a shadowed resemblance; χαρακτήρ, the impress of a stamp; μόρφη (which see), the form as indicative of the inner being.
