[Even in classic Grk. δόξα is a word of wide signif., 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 Hebr. 325, in a use foreign to Grk. writ. [W. 32], splendor, brightness ; Le properly : τοῦ φωτός, Acts xxii. 11; of the sun, moon, stars, 1 Co. xy. 40 sq. ; used of the heavenly brightness, by which God was conceived of as surrounded, Lk. ii. 9; Acts vii. 55, and by which heavenly beings were surrounded when they appeared on earth, Lk. ix. 31; Rev. xviii. 1; with which the face of Moses was once made luminous, 2 Co. iii. 7, and also Christ in his transfiguration, Lk. ix. 32; δύξα τοῦ κυρίου, in Sept. equiv. to 23 nim, in the targ. and talm. 77°3W, Shekinah or Shechinah [see BB.DD. s. v.], 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 (Ex. xxiv. 17; xl. 28 (34) sqq., ete.) : Ro.ix.4; Rey. xv. 8; xxi. 11, 23; hence, ὁ beds τῆς δόξης (God to whom belongs δόξα) ὥφθη, Acts Vil. 2; Χερουβεὶν δόξης, on whom the divine glory rests (so δόξα without the article, Ex. xl. 28 (34); 1S. iv. 22; Sir. xlix. 8), Heb. ix. 5. 2. magnificence, excellence, preéminence, dignity, grace: βασιλεῖαι τοῦ κόσμου k. ἡ δόξα αὐτῶν, i. 6. their resources, wealth, the magnificence and ereatness of their cities, their fertile lands, their thronging population, Mt. iv. 8; Lk. iv. 6; ἡ δόξα τῶν βασιλείων τῆς γῆς, Rev. xxi.

I have preferred to distinguish fr. those cited above, II. fin., and yet in pass. 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. vii. 12 ἡ εὐλογία x. ἡ δόξα x. ἡ σοφία κ. ἡ εὐχαριστία K. ἡ τιμὴ x. ἡ ἰσχύς, Rey. xix. 1 ἡ σωτηρία x. ἡ δόξα κ. ἡ τιμὴ κ- ἡ δύναμις ; likewise in Rev. v. 12, [13]. of the judicial majesty of God as exhibited at the last day, Jude vs. 24. ἀνὴρ εἰκὼν k. δόξα θεοῦ ὑπάρχων, whose function of government reflects the majesty of the divine ruler, 1 Co. xi. 7; (7) γυνὴ δόξα ἀνδρός, because in her the preéminence and authority of her husband are conspicuous, ibid. β. majesty in the sense of the absolute perfection of the deity : Ro. i. 23; 2 Co. iv.6; Heb.i.3; 2 Pet.i.17; 1 Pet. iv. 14; ἐν δόξῃ i. α. ἐνδόξως, i. 6. as accords with his divine perfection, Phil. iv. 19 [ef.

Is. xii. 2; xlv. 24); hence τὸ κράτος τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ, the might in which his majesty excels, Col. i. 11. Ὁ. majesty which belongs to Christ; and a. 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): Mk. x. 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, Mt. xvi. 27; Mk. viii. 38 ; Lk. ix. 26; μετὰ δυνάμεως x. δόξης πολλῆς, Mt. xxiv. 30; Mk. xiii. 26; Lk. xxi. 27 cf. Mt. xxv. 31; Tit. ii. 13; 1 Pet. iv. 13; also καθίσαι ἐπὶ θρόνου δύξης αὐτοῦ, Mt. xix. 28; xxv. 31, cf. 1S. ii. 8; ἡ δόξα τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ, the majesty of his Messianic power with which he will punish his adversaries, 2 Th.i. 9. β. the absolutely perfect inward or personal excellence of Christ: 2 Co. iii. 18; iv. 4; in which he excels by virtue of his nature as ὁ θεῖος λόγος, Jn. 1. 14; xii 41; of which majesty he gave tokens in the miracles he performed, Jn. ii. 11 cf. xi. 40; ὁ κύριος τῆς δόξης, 1 Co. 11. 8; Jas. ii. 1. y. the majesty (glory) of angels, as apparent in their exterior brightness, Lk. ix. 26; in a wider sense, in which angels are called δόξαι as being spiritual beings of preeminent dignity: Jude vs. 8; 2 Pet. ii. 10. 4. amost 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: Lk. xxiv. 26; Jn. xvii. 5 (where he is said to have been in the same condition before his incarnation, and even before the beginning of the world); ib. 22, 24; Heb. ii. 7,9; 1 Pet. i. 11, 21; τὸ σῶμα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ, the body in which his glorious condition is manifested, Phil. iii. 21; ἀνελήφθη ἐν δόξῃ, was taken up (into heaven) so that he is now ἐν δόξῃ, 1 Tim. iii. 16 [ef. W. 413 (385); B. 328 (283)]. Ὁ. the glorious condition of blessedness into which it.is appointed and promised that true Christians shall enter after their Saviour’s return from heaven: Ro. viii. 18, 21; ix. 23; 2 Co. iv.17; Col. i. 27 (twice ; ef. Meyer ad loc.) ; iii. 4; 2 Tim. ii. 10; Heb. ii. 10; 1 Pet. vy. 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, 2 Co. iii. 18; and this condition will include not only the blessedness of the soul, but also the gain of amore excellent body (1 Co. xv. 43; Phil. iii. 21); ef.

δόξα. In the account of a popular demonstration at Oxyrhynchus, P Oxy I. 41 (iii/iv a.p.), the prytanis is hailed as δόξα πόλεω[ς. Deissmann (He/lentsterung αἰ. 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.
