G3898 G3898
likewise, similarly, in the same manner
An adverb of comparison meaning 'in like manner' or 'similarly'. Though sharing the same root as G3897, this form emphasizes comparable action or experience rather than spatial proximity. Hebrews 2:14 uses it to describe how Jesus likewise partook of flesh and blood just as the children do. The adverb stresses the solidarity of incarnation—Christ didn't enter humanity differently but shared the same mode of embodiment that defines human existence.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Hebrews 2:14 states that Jesus 'likewise' (παραπλησίως) shared in flesh and blood. The translations (English 'likewise', Spanish 'de-modo-similar', German 'ebenso') emphasize the comparable manner. The theological weight is immense: the Son of God entered human existence not in some protected or modified way, but fully, genuinely, in the same mode as those he came to save. True incarnation requires true solidarity. 1×
