Usage: The Greek adjective "λαμπρός" (lamprós) is used to describe something that is bright, shining, or splendid. It conveys a sense of brilliance and magnificence, often associated with light or glory. In the New Testament, it is used both literally and metaphorically to describe physical brightness or the splendor of a person or thing.
