G3444 — μορφή

μορφῆς, ἡ (from root signifying 'to lay hold of', 'seize' (cf. German Fassung); Fick, Part i., p. 174; Vanicek, p. 719), from Homer down, the form by which a person or thing strikes the vision; the external appearance: children are said to reflect ψυχῆς τέ καί μορφῆς ὁμοιότητα (of their parents), 4 Macc. 15:3 (4); ἐφανερώθη ἐν ἑτέρα μορφή, Mar 16:12; ἐν μορφή Θεοῦ ὑπάρχων, Phi 2:6; μορφήν δούλου λαβών, Phi 2:7; — this whole passage (as I have shown more fully in the Zeitschr. f. wissensch. Theol. for 1873, pp. 33ff, with which compare the different view given by Holsten in the Jahrbb. f. protest. Theol. for 1875, p. 449ff) is to be explained as follows: who, although (formerly when he was λόγος ἄσαρκος) "he bore the form (in which he appeared to the inhabitants of heaven) of God (the sovereign, opposed to μορφή δούλου), yet did not think that this equality with God was to be eagerly clung to or retained (see ἁρπαγμός, 2), but emptied himself of it (see κενόω, 1) so as to assume the form of a servant, in that he became like unto men (for angels also are δοῦλοι τοῦ Θεοῦ, Rev 19:10; Rev 22:8f) and was found in fashion as a man". (God μένει ἀεί ἁπλῶς ἐν τῇ αὐτοῦ μορφή, Plato, de rep. 2, p. 381 c., and it is denied that God φαντάζεσθαι ἄλλοτε ἐν ἀλλαις ἰδέαις... καί ἀλλαττοντα τό αὐτοῦ εἶδος εἰς πολλάς μορφας... καί τῆς ἑαυτοῦ ἰδεας ἐκβαίνειν, p. 380 d.; ἡκιστ' ἄν πολλάς μορφας ἰσχοι ὁ Θεός, p. 381 b.; ἑνός σώματος οὐσίαν μετασχηματίζειν καί μεταχαράττειν εἰς πολυτροπους μορφας, Philo leg. ad Gaium § 11; οὐ γάρ ὥσπερ τό νόμισμα παρακομμα καί Θεοῦ μορφή γίνεται, ibid. § 14 at the end; God ἔργοις μέν καί χαρισιν ἐνεργής καί παντός ὁυτινοσουν φανερωτερος, μορφήν δέ καί μέγεθος ἡμῖν ἀφανεστατος, Josephus, contra Apion 2, 22, 2.)

字義溯源：形像*，外貌，形態，形狀；或源自（G3313（μέρος）=份或分享），而G3313（μέρος）出自（G3187（μείζων）X=所得的份）。主耶穌本有神的形像（腓2:6），就是他與父同在的榮耀（約17:5；太17:2），當他道成肉身時，放棄了神的形像，取了奴僕的形像（腓2:7）。主耶穌只是放棄外貌的樣式，但他從未放棄他裏面神聖的性情，所以當他活在地上時，仍是滿了神聖的能力，可以吩咐魔鬼，指揮風暴，醫治各種頑疾，叫死人復活。至於主耶穌復活後，變了形像，向門徒顯現（可16:12），這個形像到底是甚麼形像，很耐人尋味，因為門徒看見這形像的他，卻不認識他。參讀G1491（εἶδος）同義字
