It can refer to both positive examples to follow and negative examples to avoid. The word emphasizes the importance of learning from precedents, whether they are set by Christ, the apostles, or historical events.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of a "hupodeigma" was significant in education and moral instruction. Teachers often used examples to illustrate virtues and vices, encouraging students to emulate the former and shun the latter. This method of teaching was prevalent in both Jewish and Hellenistic traditions, where historical and scriptural examples were used to instruct and guide behavior.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5263.htm">hupodeiknumi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a figure, copy, example<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>copies (1), copy (1), example (4).<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 5262: ὑπόδειγμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὑπόδειγμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὑποδειγματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">ὑποδείκνυμι</span>, which see), a word rejected by the Atticists, and for which the earlier writers used <span class="greek2">παράδειγμα</span>; see <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 12; (Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 62).
