II. opinion, estimate, whether good or bad, concerning some one; but (like the Latinexistimatio) in secular writings generally, in the sacred writings always, good opinion concerning one, and as resulting from that, praise, honor, glory: Luk_14:10; Heb_3:3; 1Pe_5:4; opposed to ἀτιμία, 2Co_6:8; opposed to αἰσχύνη, Php_3:19; joined with τιμή, Rom_2:7; Rom_2:10; 1Pe_1:7; 2Pe_1:17; δόξα τίνος, praise or honor coming to someone, Luk_2:32; Eph_3:13; coming from some one, Joh_8:54; Joh_12:43; τῶν ἀνθρώπων, τοῦ Θεοῦ, Joh_12:43; Rom_3:23; persons whose excellence is to redound to the glory of others are called their δόξα: thus, ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἡ δόξα ἡμῶν, 1Th_2:20; ἀδελφοί ἡμῶν δόξα Χριστοῦ, 2Co_8:23. ζητεῖν τήν ἰδίαν δόξαν, or τήν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, Joh_7:18; Joh_8:50; of God, to endeavor to promote the glory of God, Joh_7:18 : ζητεῖν δόξαν ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, 1Th_2:6; τήν δόξαν τήν παρά τοῦ Θεοῦ, Joh_5:44; λαμβάνειν δόξαν (Latincaptare honorem) to seek to receive, catch at glory, Joh_5:41; Joh_5:44; to receive glory, 2Pe_1:17; Rev_5:12; τήν δόξαν, the glory due (cf.

Buttmann, 89 (78)), Rev_4:11; διδόναι δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ, μΗιΐδεΘδ λΘΜαεγ ω�εΜν or (Jer_13:16) πΘϊΗο, to give or ascribe glory to God, why and how being evident in each case from the context: thus, by declaring one's gratitude to God for a benefit received, Luk_17:18; by not distrusting God's promises, Rom_4:20; by celebrating his praises, Rev_4:9; Rev_11:13; Rev_14:7; (); (τήν δόξαν, the glory due); by rendering its due honor to God's majesty, Act_12:23; δός δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ, acknowledge that God knows all things, and show that you believe it by the confession you are about to make, Joh_9:24, cf. 1Sa_6:5; Jos_7:19; Ev.

(Even in classic Greek δόξα is a word of wide significance, ranging from one's private opinion, fancy, to public opinion, repute, renown (κλέος; cf. the relation of (φήμη to φάναι). Coupled with τιμή it denotes rather the splendid condition (evident glory), τιμή, the estimate and acknowledgment of it (paid honor).) III. As a translation of the Hebrew λΘΜαεγ, in a use foreign to Greek writing (Winers Grammar, 32), splendor, brightness; 1. properly: τοῦ φωτός, Act_22:11; of the sun, moon, stars, 1Co_15:40 f; used of the heavenly brightness, by which God was conceived of as surrounded, Luk_2:9 Act_7:55, and by which heavenly beings were surrounded when they appeared on earth, Luk_9:31; Rev_18:1; with which the face of Moses was once made luminous, 2Co_3:7, and also Christ in his transfiguration, Luk_9:32; δόξα τοῦ κυρίου, in the Sept. equivalent to ιΐδεΘδ λΐΜαεγ, in the Targum and Talmud ωΐΡλΔιπΘδ, Shekinah or Shechinah (see BB. DD. under the word), the glory of the Lord, and simply ἡ δόξα, a bright cloud by which God made manifest to men his presence and power on earth (Exo_24:17; Exo_40:28 (34ff), etc.): Rom_9:4; Rev_15:8; Rev_21:11; Rev_21:23; hence, ὁ Θεός τῆς δόξης (God to whom belongs δόξα ὤφθη, Act_7:2; Χερούβειν δόξης, on whom the divine glory rests (so δόξα, without the article, Exo_40:28 (34); 1Sa_4:22; Sir_49:8), Heb_9:5. 2. magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, grace: βασιλεῖαι τοῦ κόσμου καί ἡ δόξα αὐτῶν, i. e. their resources, wealth, the magnificence and greatness of their cities, their fertile lands, their thronging population, Mat_4:8; Luk_4:6; ἡ δόξα τῶν βασιλειῶν τῆς γῆς, Rev_21:1-27 :(24; τῶν ἐθνῶν, ibid.) Rev_21:26; used of royal state, splendid apparel, and the like: Mat_6:29; Luk_12:27 (Est_5:1; Josephus, Antiquities 8, 6, 5); glorious form and appearance: e. g. of human bodies restored to life, opposed to ἡ ἀτιμία which characterized them when they were buried, 1Co_15:43; ἡ δόξα τῆς σαρκός "omne id, quod in rebus humanis magnificum dicitur (Calvin), 1Pe_1:24; εἶναι τίνι δόξα, to be a glory, ornament, to one, 1Co_11:15; universally, preeminence, excellence: 2Co_3:8-11. 3. majesty; a. that which belongs to God; and a. the kingly majesty which belongs to him as the supreme ruler; so in passages where it is joined with βασιλεία, δύναμις, κράτος, ἐξουσία, and the like: Mat_6:13 Rec.; especially in doxologies, 1Pe_4:11; 1Pe_5:11 R G; Jud_1:25; Rev_1:6; these passage I have preferred to distinguish from those cited above, II. at the end, and yet in passages similar to each other in form it is not always clear whether δόξα is used to denote praise and honor, or regal majesty, as in Rev_7:12 ἡ εὐλογία καί ἡ δοκα καί ἡ σοφία καί ἡ εὐχαριστία καί ἡ τιμή καί ἡ ἰσχύς, Rev_19:1 ἡ σωτηρία καί ἡ δόξα καί ἡ τιμή καί ἡ δύναμις; likewise in Rev_5:12 (13). of the judicial majesty of God as exhibited at the last day, Jud_1:24. ἀνήρ εἰκών καί δόξα Θεοῦ ὑπάρχων, whose function of government reflects the majesty of the divine ruler, 1Co_11:7; (ἡ) γυνή δόξα ἀνδρός, because in her the preeminence and authority of her husband are conspicuous, ibid. β. majesty in the sense of the absolute perfection of the deity: Rom_1:23; 2Co_4:6; Heb_1:3; 2Pe_1:17; 1Pe_4:14; ἐν δόξῃ, equivalent to ἐνδόξως, i. e. as accords with his divine perfection, Php_4:19 (cf. Meyer and Lightfoot at the passage); of the majesty of his saving grace: Rom_9:23; Eph_1:12; Eph_1:14; Eph_1:18; Eph_3:16; 1Ti_1:11; 2Pe_1:3 (Winer's Grammar, 381 (356)); more fully δόξα τῆς χάριτος. Eph_1:6; ὁ πατήρ τῆς δόξης, the Father whose characteristic is majesty, Eph_1:17; the majesty of God as exhibited in deeds of power: Joh_11:40; Rom_6:4 (whence δόξα for ςΙζ, the Sept. Isa_12:2; Isa_45:24); hence, τό κράτος τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ, the might in which His majesty excels, Col_1:11. b. majesty which belongs to Christ; and α. the kingly majesty of the Messiah, to which belongs his kingly state, the splendor of His external appearance, the retinue of angels, and the like (see in III. 1): Mar_10:37; in this sense it is said that Christ will come hereafter to set up the Messianic kingdom ἐν τῇ δόξῃ τοῦ πατρός, clothed by the Father in kingly array, Mat_16:27; Mar_8:38; Luk_9:26; μετά δυνάμεως καί δόξης πολλῆς, Mat_24:30; Mar_13:26; Luk_21:27 cf.

Joh_11:40; ὁ κύριος τῆς δόξης, 1Co_2:8; Jas_2:1. γ. "the majesty (glory) of angels, as apparent in their exterior brightness, Luk_9:26; in a wider sense, in which angels are called δόξαι as being spiritual beings of preeminent dignity: Jud_1:8; 2Pe_2:10. 4. a most glorious condition, most exalted state; a. of that condition with God the Father in heaven to which Christ was raised after he had achieved his work on earth: Luk_24:26; Joh_17:5 (where he is said to have been in the same condition before his incarnation, and even before the beginning of the world); Joh_17:22; Joh_17:24; Heb_2:7; Heb_2:9; 1Pe_1:11; 1Pe_1:21; τό σῶμα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ, the body in which his glorious condition is manifested, Php_3:21; ἀνελήφθη ἐν δόξῃ, was taken np (into heaven) so that he is now ἐν δόξῃ, 1Ti_3:16 (cf. Winers Grammar, 413 (385); Buttmann, 328 (283)). b. "the glorious condition of blessedness into which it is appointed and promised that true Christians shall enter after their Saviour's return from heaven": Rom_8:18; Rom_8:21; Rom_9:23; 2Co_4:17; Col_1:27 (twice; cf. Meyer at the passage); Col_3:4; 2Ti_2:10; Heb_2:10; 1Pe_5:1; which condition begins to be enjoyed even now through the devout contemplation of the divine majesty of Christ, and its influence upon those who contemplate it, 2Co_3:18; and this condition will include not only the blessedness of the soul, but also the gain of a more excellent body (1Co_15:43; Php_3:21); cf. Lipsius, Paulin. Rechtfertigungslehre, p. 203ff; ἡ δόξα τοῦ Θεοῦ, which God bestows, Rom_5:2; 1Th_2:12; δόξα τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, the same in which Christ rejoices, 2Th_2:14 (cf.

δόξα [page 168] In the account of a popular demonstration at Oxyrhynchus, P Oxy I. 41 .4 (iii/iv A.D.), the prytanis is hailed as δόξα πόλεω [ς . Deissmann ( Hellenisierung d. Semitischen Monotheismus , p. 165 f.) throws out the suggestion that the word may originally have had a realistic meaning in the ordinary Grk of the day, and cites as a partial parallel its use as a name for women and ships (cf. F. Bechtel, Die attischen Frauennamen (1902), p. 132). The plur. δόξαι occurs in the astrological papyrus PSI III. 158 .24 .41 (? iii/A.D.) For the Biblical history of the word, see Milligan Thess. p. 27 and Kennedy St Paul s Conceptions of the Last Things , p. 299 ff. In an early Christian prayer Ntl. Stud.
