The word rendered “transform,” metamorphoo, means “to be changed from one thing into another.” This Greek word is transliterated to render the English word metamorphosis.
Distinguishing Truth from Error
The Apostle John's first-century command to "test the spirits" is also the biblical antidote to today's proliferation of religious error.
