Strong's Lexicon (Not Used): (Not Used) (Not Used) Part of Speech: Transliteration: (Not Used) (Not Used)Definition: Not Used Meaning: The term κενόδοξος refers to being "vain" or "conceited," characterized by an excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others, often without basis. Word Origin: Derived from two Greek words: κενός (kenos), meaning "empty," and δόξα (doxa), meaning "glory" or "reputation." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for κενόδοξος, the concept of vanity and pride is addressed in several Hebrew terms, such as: • Strong's Hebrew 1892 (הֶבֶל, hebel): Often translated as "vanity" or "breath," it conveys the idea of emptiness or futility, similar to the emptiness of κενόδοξος. • Strong's Hebrew 1347 (גָּאוֹן, gaon): Meaning "pride" or "arrogance," it reflects the attitude of self-exaltation that κενόδοξος warns against. These entries collectively highlight the biblical admonition against vanity and the call to live a life marked by humility and a focus on God's glory. Usage: The word κενόδοξος is not directly used in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) text. However, its concept is reflected in biblical teachings that warn against pride and vanity, encouraging humility and selflessness instead. Context: The concept of κενόδοξος, though not explicitly mentioned in the Berean Standard Bible, is deeply rooted in biblical teachings. The Bible frequently addresses the dangers of vanity and pride, which are encapsulated in the idea of being κενόδοξος. In Philippians 2:3, the Apostle Paul advises, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves." This verse captures the essence of avoiding κενόδοξος behavior by promoting humility and selflessness. The biblical narrative consistently contrasts the fleeting nature of human glory with the eternal glory of God. Proverbs 16:18 warns, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall," highlighting the peril of κενόδοξος attitudes. The Bible encourages believers to seek God's glory rather than their own, as seen in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God." The teachings of Jesus further emphasize humility, as in Matthew 23:12, "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." This principle underscores the biblical view that true honor comes from God, not from self-aggrandizement.
