The important aspect of this text is that it presents a teaching that is not trinitarian, but purely cosmological and anthropological. It emphasizes, therefore, not so much the relationship of the Word to the Father - a relationship that is presupposed and which the Apostle Paul develops elsewhere - but rather the significance of Christ for humanity.
This point carries great importance, as it reveals the Christological dimension of Paul's anthropology. This dimension of the term "image" is also manifested in the fundamental teaching of the Apostle that for man to be complete, he must wear "the image of the heavenly man," Christ (1 Cor. 15:49), to reach "the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Eph. 4:13), and this "so that we may no longer be children" (Eph. 4:14). For Paul, the maturation of man coincides with the Christification.
