Berean Strong's Lexicon doxazó: To glorify, to honor, to praise Original Word: δοξάζω Word Origin: From the Greek noun δόξα (doxa), meaning "glory" or "honor." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3513 (כָּבֵד, kabad): To be heavy, honored, or glorified. - H3519 (כָּבוֹד, kabod): Glory, honor, splendor. Usage: The verb δοξάζω (doxazó) primarily means to glorify or to give glory. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of giving honor and praise to God, acknowledging His majesty, power, and divine nature. It also refers to the glorification of Jesus Christ, particularly in the context of His resurrection and ascension. Additionally, it can denote the act of honoring individuals or things that reflect God's glory. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of glory (δόξα) was associated with fame, honor, and reputation. It was often linked to achievements in battle, public service, or other notable accomplishments. In the Jewish context, glory was deeply connected to the presence and majesty of God, as seen in the Shekinah glory that filled the temple. The New Testament writers adopted and expanded this concept to express the divine nature and works of God and Christ, emphasizing the spiritual and eternal aspects of glory.
