(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)eg-zam'-p'-l (tupos, "a pattern," hupodeigma, "copy" "representation" hupogrammos, "a writing-copy," example"): A typical, representative, or illustrative case; a pattern or model for imitation (hupodeigma, John 13:15; Hebrews 8:5 the King James Version; James 5:10; hupogrammos, I Peter 2:21; tupos, I Timothy 4:12 the King James Version) or warning (deigma, "a sample," "exhibition," Judges 1:7; compare II Peter 2:6; hupodeigma, Hebrews 4:11; tupos, I Corinthians 10:6, I Corinthians 10:11).
"Ensample" (tupos, 2 Macc 6:28,31; Philippians 3:17; I Thessalonians 1:7; II Thessalonians 3:9; I Timothy 4:12; I Peter 5:3) and "example" have the same meaning, but the former is always suggestive of goodness.
