- Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”
Commentary on Genesis 1:261 voice
But this is God's kindness to man, that of whom He is Maker, of them according to grace He afterwards becomes Father also; becomes, that is, when men, His creatures, receive into their hearts, as the Apostle says, 'the Spirit of His Son, crying, Abba, Father.' And these are they who, having received the Word, gained power from Him to become sons of God; for they could not become sons, being by nature creatures, otherwise than by receiving the Spirit of the natural and true Son.
Athanasius of Alexandria· Four Discourses Against the Arians, Discourse 2, Section 59, 373Patristic
- Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Commentary on Genesis 1:272 voices
It is not They made. Here Scripture avoids the plurality of the Persons. After having enlightened the Jew, it dissipates the error of the Gentiles in putting itself under the shelter of unity, to make you understand that the Son is with the Father, and guarding you from the danger of polytheism. He created him in the image of God. God still shows us His co-operator, because He does not say, in His image, but in the image of God.
Basil of Caesarea· The Hexaemeron, Homily 9: The Creation of Terrestrial Animals, 379Patristic
So God created man in his own image,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Genesis 5:1
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in His own likeness.
Commentary on Genesis 5:11 voice
Of these the first was Alorus, that is, Adam; the second Alaaprus, Seth; the third, Almêdôn, Enoch; the fourth, Ammeôn, Cainân: the fifth, Ammegalaros, Mahalaleel; the sixth, Daonus, a keeper of sheep, Jared; the seventh, Euedôrachos, Enoch; the eighth, Amempsinachus, Methuselah; the ninth, Otiortes, Lamech; …
Cosmas Indicopleustes· The Christian Topography, Book 12, 550Patristic
- Genesis 9:6
Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.
Commentary on Genesis 9:62 voices
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God have I made man. Hence it is manifest that God, both before the transgression and long after its occurrence, gave to man the same honour and power and …
Cosmas Indicopleustes· The Christian Topography, Book 5, 550Patristic
And He changed the food of men, giving them leave to eat flesh: for from Adam the first-formed until the Flood men ate only of seeds and the fruit of trees, and to eat flesh was not permitted to them.
Irenaeus· The Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching, Section 22, 202Patristic
- Psalms 17:15
As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.
Commentary on Psalms 17:151 voice
If long and healthful life: there is sound eternity and eternal soundness, because the just shall live forever, and: The salvation of the just is from the Lord. If fullness: they shall be satisfied, when the glory of God shall appear. If inebriation: they shall …
Bonaventure· Breviloquium, Part 7, 1257Patristic
- Ezekiel 8:3
He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes jealousy was seated.
Commentary on Ezekiel 8:31 voice
(Verse 3) And a reaching out likeness of a hand seized me by the lock of my head. LXX: And the likeness of a hand extended and took hold of me by the fringe of my crown. And this likeness of a hand, the hand itself does not extend, for there is nothing corporeal in God. And the hand appears as a member of the human body and familiar, it does not frighten the one who is being assumed and grasped.
Jerome· Commentary on Ezekiel, 420Patristic
- Ezekiel 8:5
“Son of man,” He said to me, “now lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and in the entrance north of the Altar Gate I saw this idol of jealousy.
Commentary on Ezekiel 8:51 voice
(Verse 5) And he said to me: Son of man, lift up your eyes toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and behold, north of the altar gate was the idol of jealousy in the entrance. Because we have set up the idol of jealousy north of the altar gate, the seventy translators have translated it as: From the north to the east gate, which is not found in Hebrew; leaving out the rest of what is written there.
Jerome· Commentary on Ezekiel, 420Patristic
- Romans 8:29
For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.
Commentary on Romans 8:291 voice
But as for this too which he said, "Conformed to the image of his Son," I wish to inquire to which form they are said to become conformed. For we read that the Son of God was placed sometimes in the form of God, sometimes in the form of a servant. To which, then, of these two forms the Apostle says that those who love God and for whom all things work together for good will be conformed — this seems to me no idle distinction.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
- 2 Corinthians 3:18
And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Commentary on 2 Corinthians 3:181 voice
For the matter stands thus: The Old Testament proclaimed the Father openly and the Son more obscurely. The New manifested the Son and suggested the deity of the Spirit. Now the Spirit himself dwells among us and supplies us with a clearer demonstration of himself.
Gregory of Nazianzus· THEOLOGICAL ORATION 5.26, 390Patristic
- Ephesians 4:24
and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Commentary on Ephesians 4:241 voice
The metaphors of creating and establishing are never spoken of in Scripture except in great works. The world is created. A city is established. But observe that a house, however grand it may be, is more commonly said to be built than established or created. Note then that it is a great work of God when it is said that "the new person is created by God in Christ." This creature towers over the other creatures.
Jerome· Commentary on Ephesians 4:23-24, 420Patristic
- Colossians 1:15
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Commentary on Colossians 1:151 voice
Not then because He was from the Father was He called `First-born,' but because in Him the creation came to be; and as before the creation He was the Son, through whom was the creation, so also before He was called the First-born of the whole creation, not the less was the Word Himself with God and the Word was God. But this also not understanding, these irreligious men go about saying, `If He is First-born of all creation, it is plain that He too is one of the creation.'
Athanasius of Alexandria· Discourses Against the Arians 2.63, 373Patristic
- Colossians 3:10
and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
Commentary on Colossians 3:102 voices
But the apostle himself also, being one who had been formed in a womb, and had issued thence, wrote to us, and confessed in his Epistle to the Philippians that "to live in the flesh was the fruit of [his] work;" thus expressing himself. Now the final result of the work of the Spirit is the salvation of the flesh. For what other visible fruit is there of the invisible Spirit, than the rendering of the flesh mature and capable of incorruption?
Irenaeus· Against Heresies Book V, 202Patristic
And have put on the new man,....
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
- James 3:9
With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.
Commentary on James 3:91 voice
This too should be understood in an interrogative form, as also the following.
Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on James, 1107Patristic
- 1 John 3:1–3
Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
Commentary on 1 John 3:1–31 voice
"But," say they, "God is `good, 'and `most good, ' and `pitiful-hearted, 'and `a pitier, 'and `abundant in pitiful-heartedness, ' which He holds `dearer than all sacrifice, ' `not thinking the sinner's death of so much worth as his repentance', `a Saviour of all men, most of all of believers.' And so it will be becoming for `the sons of God' too to be `pitiful-hearted' and `peacemakers; ' `giving in their turn just as Christ withal hath given to us; ' `not judging, that we be not judged.'
Tertullian· On Modesty, 220Patristic
