Source text - Greek
Ὁ ἄνθρωπος, κατά τόν ἅγ. Ἰωάννη τό Χρυσόστομο, ὑπερέχει ὅλων τῶν ὑπολοίπων κτιστῶν ὄντων, καθότι πλάστηκε «κατ’ εἰκόνα καὶ καθ’ ὁμοίωσιν» Θεοῦ. Ἡ διακεκριμένη παρουσία τοῦ ἀνθρώπου μέσα στήν κτίση ἐπισημαίνεται, ἀφ’ ἑνός μέν ἀπό τό γεγονός τοῦ διαφορετικοῦ τρόπου τῆς δημιουργίας του, κατά τόν ὁποῖο ὁ ἴδιος ὁ Θεός μετά «βουλῆς καὶ σκέψεως» καί ὄχι ἁπλῶς μέ τό λόγο του, δημιουργεῖ τόν ἄνθρωπο, ἀφ’ ἑτέρου δέ ἀπό τήν ἰδιότητα τοῦ νά «ἄρχει» ὅλης τῆς κτίσεως . Ἐξάλλου ὁ Θεός δημιουργεῖ τελευταῖο τόν ἄνθρωπο, ἐπειδή ἔπρεπε πρῶτα νά δημιουργηθεῖ ὁ χῶρος, μέσα στόν ὁποῖο ἐπρόκειτο νά ἐγκατασταθεῖ, καί κατόπιν νά ἔρθει ὁ «ἐπιστάτης» αὐτοῦ τοῦ χώρου .		Translation - English
Man, according to st. John Chrysostom, surpasses all the other created beings, having been created “in the image and likeness” of God. Man’s eminent position within creation is on the one hand shown by the event of the different way of his creation, in which God himself after “thought and decision” and not merely with his word, creates man, and on the other by his faculty for “governing” the whole of creation . God in any case creates man last because the space had to first be created in which the “overseer” could afterward enter and settle.

Bio

Every word counts!

Being bi-lingual is one thing, having completed an undergrad
in Music in South Africa in English, a three year modern Greek language course,
an undergrad and masters in Theology in Greek while living in Greece for over
seven years, is another. Translation requires focusing on the meaning of words
to obtain the most accurate result. Having specialized in Dogmatic theology has
given me the utmost appreciation for the exactness of words. It's a matter of
salvation!

Try me and rest assured.
