Summary: Now the Lord stamps us with faith and other virtues, so that we bear the heavenly image.

Greek text · Stählin 3:143

ἄλλο χάραγμα νῦν ὁ κύριος ἡμῖν καὶ ἄλλα ὀνόματα καὶ γράμματα ἐνσημαίνεται, πίστιν ἀντὶ ἀπιστίας, καὶ τὰ ἑξῆς. οὕτως ἀπὸ τῶν ὑλικῶν ἐπὶ τὰ πνευματικὰ μεταγόμεθα »φορέσαντες τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ ἐπουρανίου«.

English · Claude translation

Now the Lord impresses on us another stamp and other names and letters: faith instead of unbelief, and so on. So we are brought over from material things to spiritual, “having borne the image of the heavenly.”
