Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: endoxos
Pronunciation: en'-dox-os
Phonetic Spelling: (en'-dox-os)
Definition: Glorious, honorable, splendid, noble
Meaning: highly esteemed, splendid, glorious.

Word Origin: From the Greek words ἐν (en, meaning "in") and δόξα (doxa, meaning "glory" or "honor").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "endoxos" is כָּבוֹד (kabod), which means "glory" or "honor."

Usage: The term "endoxos" is used in the New Testament to describe something that is held in high esteem, is splendid, or possesses glory and honor. It often refers to the inherent dignity or splendor of a person, object, or event. In a biblical context, it is used to convey the majesty and honor associated with divine or heavenly attributes.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "doxa" (glory) was significant, often associated with fame, honor, and reputation. The prefix "en" (in) suggests an internal or inherent quality of glory. In Jewish thought, glory was closely linked to the presence and majesty of God. Thus, "endoxos" would resonate with both Greek and Jewish audiences as a term denoting something or someone possessing intrinsic worth and splendor.
