Word Origin: From μετά (meta, meaning "change") and μορφή (morphē, meaning "form" or "shape").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for μεταμορφόω, the concept of transformation can be related to several Hebrew terms that convey change or renewal. Some related Hebrew entries include:

• Strong's Hebrew 2015 (הָפַךְ, hāphak): To turn, overturn, change.
• Strong's Hebrew 2319 (חָדָשׁ, chadash): New, fresh, renewed.
• Strong's Hebrew 2498 (חָלַף, chalaph): To pass on or away, change, renew.

These Hebrew terms capture aspects of transformation and renewal, resonating with the Greek concept of μεταμορφόω as a profound change in form or nature.

Usage: The term μεταμορφόω is used in the New Testament to describe a profound change in appearance or nature, often with a spiritual or divine connotation. It is used to describe the transfiguration of Jesus and the spiritual transformation of believers.

Context: The Greek verb μεταμορφόω appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize a significant transformation, often with a spiritual or divine aspect. This term is notably used in the accounts of the Transfiguration of Jesus, where His appearance was gloriously transformed before His disciples. In the Berean Standard Bible, Matthew 17:2 states, "There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light."

Additionally, μεταμορφόω is used metaphorically to describe the spiritual transformation that believers undergo. In Romans 12:2, Paul exhorts believers, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Here, the transformation is an inward change that aligns believers with God's will, contrasting with outward conformity to worldly patterns.

The concept of transformation is central to Christian theology, emphasizing the transformative power of faith and the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. This transformation is both a present reality and a future hope, as believers are progressively conformed to the image of Christ.
