Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἔνδοξος (éndoxos), meaning "glorious" or "honorable," which itself comes from ἐν (en, "in") and δόξα (dóxa, "glory").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H3513 כָּבֵד (kāḇēḏ): To be heavy, weighty, or honored; often used to describe the glory or honor given to God.
• H3519 כָּבוֹד (kāḇôḏ): Glory, honor, splendor; frequently used in the Old Testament to denote the glory of God.

These Hebrew terms parallel the concept of glory and honor found in ἐνδοξάζομαι, emphasizing the continuity of the theme of divine glorification throughout the Scriptures.

Usage: The verb ἐνδοξάζομαι is used in the New Testament to describe the state of being glorified or honored, often in the context of divine or heavenly glory. It reflects the acknowledgment of glory or honor bestowed upon someone or something, typically in relation to God's glory.

Context: The term ἐνδοξάζομαι appears in the New Testament to convey the concept of being glorified or honored, particularly in a divine context. This verb is often used to describe the glorification of God or the manifestation of His glory through His works and presence. It signifies the acknowledgment and revelation of God's majesty and splendor.

In the New Testament, ἐνδοξάζομαι is used to express the glorification of Jesus Christ, especially in the context of His resurrection and exaltation. For instance, in John 13:31-32 (BSB), Jesus speaks of His impending glorification: "When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, 'Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him at once.'"

The term also appears in the context of the glorification of believers, as they are transformed and conformed to the image of Christ. This future glorification is a key aspect of Christian hope and eschatology, as seen in Romans 8:30 (BSB): "And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified."

The use of ἐνδοξάζομαι underscores the transformative power of God's glory, both in the life of Jesus and in the lives of believers. It highlights the ultimate purpose of creation and redemption, which is to bring glory to God and to share in His divine nature.
