STRONGS G1504:
εἰκών, -όνος, (accusative εἰκόναν, Revelation 13:14 Lachmann; see ἄρσην), (ΕΙΚΩ which see); [from Aeschylus and Herodotus down]; Sept. mostly for צֶלֶם; an image, figure, likeness;
a. Matthew 22:20; Mark 12:16; Luke 20:24; Romans 1:23; 1 Corinthians 15:49; Revelation 13:14; Revelation 14:9, 11; Revelation 15:2; Revelation 16:2; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:4; εἰκὼν τῶν πραγμάτων, the image of the things (namely, the heavenly things), in Hebrews 10:1, is opposed to σκιά, just as in Cicero, de off. 3, 17 solida et expressa effigies is opposed to umbra; εἰκὼν τ. θεοῦ is used of the moral likeness of renewed men to God, Colossians 3:10; εἰκὼν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ the image of the Son of God, into which true Christians are transformed, is likeness not only to the heavenly body (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:49; Philippians 3:21), but also to the most holy and blessed state of mind, which Christ possesses: Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 3:18.
b. metonymically, εἰκών τινος, the image of one; one in whom the likeness of anyone is seen: εἰκὼν θεοῦ is applied to man, on account of his power of command (see δόξα, III. 3 a. α.), 1 Corinthians 11:7; to Christ, on account of his divine nature and absolute moral excellence, Colossians 1:15; 2 Corinthians 4:4; [cf. Bp. Lightfoot and Meyer on Colossians, the passage cited].
[Synonyms: εἰκών, ὁμοίωμα: δμ. denotes often note mere similarity but likeness (see δμοίωμα, b. and cf. Meyer on Romans 1:23), visible conformity to its object; εἰκ, adds to the idea of likeness the suggestions of representation (as a derived likeness) and manifestation. Cf. Trench § 15; Lightfoot as above.]
