trans-form' (Ro 12:2; the Revised Version (British and American)2Co 3:18for metamorphoomai, and the King James Version2Co 11:13,14,15for metaschematizo, the Revised Version (British and American) "fashion"): The commentaries often explain the former word as connoting a change of nature, while the latter refers only to the appearance, but this distinction is probably fanciful.
