Smile YO. Does anyone on here actually speak Greek???

I'm looking at the differences between three words--
transfigure, transform, and change--all in Greek.

There are a few examples-- Christ TRANSFIGURES. In Romans 12:2, it's the transformation of the mind, and in 2 Corinthians 3:18, it's a "change."

The BIGGEST problem I'm having right now as far as research goes is this--
metamorfousqe (transform) is Romans
metamorfoumeqa (change) is Corinthians
metemorfwqh (transfigure) is in Matt 17:2 and Mark 9:2

So the questions is... is there a difference between the three *according to the Greeks?* (especially from back in the 1st/2nd century).

Paul must have had a reason for using "metamorfoumeqa" in Corinthians instead of "metamorfousqe" in Romans, right? Otherwise he should have used the same exact word...

I'm taking my first-ever Bible course right now since I was in grade school. Gave up on it for a while, finding that my mind has changed since (haha get it? Mind... Changed... Transformed...)

Thought this was an actual Greek chatroom. Figure I might as well ask everyone on here if they know
