Having the same nature or subject to the same passions and weaknesses. Paul and Barnabas use it in Lystra to deflect worship: 'We are men of like nature with you' (Acts 14:15)—not gods but fellow humans subject to the same frailties. James uses it of Elijah: he was 'a man with a nature like ours' (James 5:17)—not superhuman but a normal person whose prayers God answered powerfully. Both contexts humble impressive figures by emphasizing common humanity, making apostolic witness and prophetic prayer accessible models rather than unreachable ideals.
