It implies an external conformity to a standard or example, often with the nuance of adapting to the surrounding environment or societal norms.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, conformity to societal norms and expectations was a common practice, as social harmony and order were highly valued. The concept of conforming to the image or pattern of something was well understood in a culture that emphasized public behavior and appearances. In the New Testament, this term is used to contrast the temporary and external nature of worldly conformity with the transformative and internal work of God in a believer's life.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4964</b> <i>sys<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ēmatízō</i> (from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">4862</a> <i>/sýn</i>, "identified <i>with</i>" and <i>s<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ēmatizō</i>, "having <i>outward</i> shape") – properly, assuming a similar <i>outward</i> form (expression) by following the same <i>pattern</i> (model, mold). </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">sun</a> and schématizó (to assume a certain form, figure)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to conform to<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>conformed (2).<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 4964: συσχηματίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συσχηματίζω</span></span> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">συνχηματίζω</span> (so <span class="manuref">T</span> in Romans, <span class="manuref">Tr</span> in 1 Peter; cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">σύν</span></span>, II. at the end)): present passive, <span class="greek2">συσχηματίζομαι</span>; (<span class="greek2">σχηματίζω</span>, to form); a later Greek word; <span class="accented">to conform</span> ((<span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span>, top. 6, 14, p. 151b, 8; <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, de profect. in virt. 12, p. 83 b.)); passive reflexively, <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <span class="accented">to conform oneself</span> (i. e. one's mind and character) <span class="accented">to another's pattern</span> (<span class="accented">fashion oneself according to</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lightfoot</span>'s Commentary on Philippians, p. 130f)): <a href="/interlinear/romans/12-2.htm">Romans 12:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/1-14.htm">1 Peter 1:14</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 352 (330f)).
