Strong's Lexicon sundoxazó: To glorify together, to share in glory Original Word: συνδοξάζω Word Origin: From the Greek words σύν (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and δοξάζω (doxazó, meaning "to glorify"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συνδοξάζω, the concept of sharing in glory can be related to the Hebrew word כָּבוֹד (kabod, Strong's H3519), which denotes glory, honor, and splendor. Usage: The verb συνδοξάζω (sundoxazó) is used to describe the act of sharing in or participating in glory with another. In the New Testament, it often refers to the shared glory between believers and Christ, emphasizing the unity and fellowship in the glorification process. It conveys the idea of being co-glorified, particularly in the context of suffering and subsequent exaltation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, glory (δόξα, doxa) was a significant concept, often associated with honor, reputation, and divine radiance. The early Christian understanding of glory was deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where God's glory was a manifestation of His presence and power. The New Testament expands this concept to include the glorification of believers through their union with Christ, especially in the context of suffering for the faith, which was a common experience for early Christians. HELPS Word-studies 4888 syndoksázō (from 4862 /sýn, "closely identified with" and 1392 /doksázō, "glorify") – properly, be glorified together, emphasizing close identity with the Lord, the factor which specifically correlates to the unique glorification believers experience at His return (cf. Phil 3:11; 1 Jn 3:2, Gk text). 4888 /syndoksázō ("glorified with Christ") only occurs in Ro 8:17. Ro 8:17: "Moreover if (1487 /ei) children, heirs also; indeed heirs of God even fellow-heirs with Christ – if indeed (1512 /eí per) we suffer with Him in order that (2443 /hína) we may also be glorified with Him (4888 /syndoksázō)."
