In the New Testament, it is used to describe the resemblance or conformity of one thing to another. This can pertain to physical likeness, moral or spiritual similarity, or metaphorical resemblance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the idea of likeness was significant in philosophical discussions, particularly in the context of Platonic thought, where the material world was seen as a shadow or likeness of the true, ideal forms. In Jewish thought, the concept of likeness is rooted in the creation narrative, where humanity is made in the "image" and "likeness" of God (Genesis 1:26-27). This theological foundation underscores the inherent dignity and value of human beings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3664.htm">homoios</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>likeness, in like manner<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>likeness (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3665: ὁμοιότης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὁμοιότης</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὁμοιοτητος</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ὅμοιος</span>), <span class="accented">likeness</span>: <span class="greek2">καθ'</span> <span class="greek2">ὁμοιότητα</span>, in like manner, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/4-15.htm">Hebrews 4:15</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 143 (136)); <span class="greek2">κατά</span> <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">ὁμοιότητα</span> (<span class="greek2">Μελχισέδεκ</span>), after the likeness, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/7-15.htm">Hebrews 7:15</a>.
