Paul did not speak English obviously but he did speak Hebrew, Greek, and likely Aramaic. The Bible as we know it is translated from Hebrew to Greek then to Latin, and eventually to English.

The first English translation comes in the 14th century. So while you are correct Paul did not use the English word image he did use the Greek and Hebrew version of what we have come to know as the word image. I’m not really sure why you are choosing to be so pedantic on the subject.
