ὑποτύπ-ωσις G5296
a pattern, example, model, outline
This term denotes a sketch, outline, or pattern to be followed. In technical writing it could mean a rough draft as opposed to finished work. Paul uses it twice in the Pastoral Epistles to describe exemplary patterns: once referring to himself as a pattern of Christ's patience for future believers, and once urging Timothy to hold to the pattern of sound words Paul taught him. The word emphasizes a normative model worthy of imitation.
