Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

μορφόω [page 418] The only occurrence of this verb in the Greek Bible is in Gal_4:19 (but cf. Aq. Isa_44:13 ), where Burton ( ICC ad l. ) thinks that the words not unnaturally suggest a reversal of the preceding figure [cf. 1Th_2:7 ], those who were just spoken of as babes in the womb, now being pictured as pregnant mothers, awaiting the full development of the Christ begotten in them. He compares the use of πλάσσω in Jer_1:5 πρὸ τοῦ με πλάσαι σε ἐν κοιλίᾳ , Rom_9:20 , 1Ti_2:13 .

Liddell-Scott — Intermediate Greek Lexicon
