δόξα
dóxa · Greek · Strong's G1391 · 166 occurrences
The KJV renders 15 different Hebrew and Greek words as “praise”
What it means
glory (as very apparent), in a wide application (literal or figurative, objective or subjective)
from the base of G1380 (δοκέω);
How the KJV renders it
dignity, glory, honour, praise, worship
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“praise”
“glory”
“honour”
“worship”
Questions this word decides
- Is baptism required for salvation?
- Will there be a literal thousand-year reign (the millennium)?
- Are head coverings commanded in worship?
- Is the Trinity explicitly taught in the Bible?
- Who wrote the letter to the Hebrews?
- What does John 1:1 mean ('the Word was God')?
