79.93 · Features of Objects · Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Shapes

83.37 · Spacial Positions · In Front Of, Face To Face, In Back Of, Behind

Collocation: πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον

face to face (an idiom, literally: face to face) the position of one person facing another, with the implication of direct, personal interaction The implication of this idiom in 1CO 13:12 is that there will be clear understanding, and in some languages it is necessary to shift somewhat the figurative expression. For example, it may be necessary to render this passage as ‘how we now understand is like seeing a dim image in a mirror, but then we shall understand as clearly as though we were seeing face to face’ or ‘... as though we were seeing something directly.’

to judge on the basis of appearance, to render a superficial judgment, to pay no attention to a person’s status, to judge on the basis of reputation (an idiom, literally: to see into the face) to judge on the basis of external appearances In some languages an equivalent of this expression in MAT 22:16 may be ‘when you judge, you look into a man’s heart’ or ‘when you judge you see more than a person’s face’ or ‘when you judge a person, who he appears to be doesn’t count.’

MAT 22:16 · MRK 12:14

67.19 · Time · A Point of Time with Reference to Other Points of Time: Before, Long Ago, Now, At the Same Time, When, About, After

MAT 11:10 · LUK 7:27 · LUK 9:52 · ACT 13:24

30.80 · Think · To Decide, To Conclude

Collocation: στηρίζω τὸ πρόσωπον

to decide firmly, to resolve, to make up one’s mind definitely (a Semitic idiom, literally: to fix one’s face) to make a decision, with emphasis upon finality In order to express the meaning of ‘to decide firmly,’ it may be useful in some instances to translate ‘to decide and to refuse to change one’s mind’ or ‘to decide and not to change.’

LUK 9:51

31.31 · Hold a View, Believe, Trust · Suppose, Think Possible

Collocation: τὰ κατὰ πρόσωπον

88.238 · Moral and Ethical Qualities and Related Behavior · Show Favoritism, Prejudice

Collocation: λαμβάνω πρόσωπον

to show favoritism, to be partial, partiality (an idiom, literally: to take face) to make unjust distinctions between people by treating one person better than another ‘To show favoritism’ or ‘to be partial’ is expressed in an idiomatic manner in some languages, for example, ‘to look only upon a person’s face,’ ‘to call a sparrow a chicken,’ or ‘to give one’s clansman the best piece of meat.’

LUK 20:21 · GAL 2:6

33.365 · Communication · Flatter

Collocation: θαυμάζω πρόσωπον

to flatter (an idiom, literally: to admire the face) to praise someone, normally in an exaggerated or false manner and with insincere purpose

JUD 1:16

1 There are no doubt certain slight differences of meaning in this series (83.33), but such distinctions cannot be readily determined from existing contexts. 2 It is not possible to determine precisely the context from which this idiom is derived, but it would appear that the meaning to flatter is probably the most satisfactory.

From this literal meaning it is an easy transition to the more general sense of *‘outward appearance,” and thence to the frequent use of the word in the Kow# as practically equivalent to our “person "᾿ξ see e.g. P Oxy XIV. 16724 (a.D. 37-41) ξένοις προσώποις, “‘to strangers,” 76.
