Exegesis
- Paul's use of the word metamorphoo ("transformed") in verse 2 may suggest a transformation greater than we can imagine. It is used only three other times in the New Testament: in Matthew 17:2 and Mark 9:2 to discuss Jesus' change at the Transfiguration, and in 2 Corinthians 3:18 to explain our transformation from glory to glory in the image of God.
