lit., "an under-writing" (from hupographo, "to write under, to trace letters" for copying by scholars); hence, "a writing-copy, an example," 1Pe 2:21, said of what Christ left for believers, by His sufferings (not expiatory, but exemplary), that they might "follow His steps."

"to make a show of, to expose" (akin to A, No. 1), is translated "to make a public example," in Mat 1:19 (some mss. have the strengthened form paradeigmatizo here; "put ... to an open shame," Heb 6:6); in Col 2:15, "made a show of."

primarily, "to show secretly" (hupo, "under," deiknumi, "to show"), "to show by tracing out" (akin to A, No. 2); hence, "to teach, to show by example," Act 20:35, RV, "I gave you an example," for AV, "I showed you." Elsewhere, "to warn," Mat 3:7, Luk 3:7, Luk 12:5, RV, for AV, "forewarn;" "to show," Luk 6:47, Act 9:16. See FOREWARN, SHOW, WARN.
