dexios identifies the right side, especially a person’s right hand or a place at someone’s right.

The term most often marks a position at the right of a person, particularly in clauses about sitting, standing, or being placed there. It also identifies the right-side bodily member or side of an object, and occurs in a few concrete expressions involving a hand extended in fellowship or items associated with right and left.

1. Position at a person’s right · dominant

   In Acts 2:34 the clause directs, “Sit at my right hand,” and in Acts 7:56 the APB renders Jesus as standing “at the right hand of God.” The same positional use occurs where Christ is seated at God’s right in Ephesians 1:20 and Hebrews 8:1, and where persons are assigned to the right rather than the left in Matthew 25:33.

   Acts 2:34Acts 7:56Ephesians 1:20Hebrews 8:1Matthew 25:33Mark 10:37
2. Right-side bodily member or object side · common

   The term specifies a bodily member in clauses such as John 18:10, where the APB renders the slave’s “right ear,” and Acts 3:7, where a man is taken by the “right hand.” It also marks the side or location of objects: John 21:6 places the net on the “right side of the boat,” while Revelation 10:2 places a foot on the sea.

   Acts 3:7John 18:10John 21:6Luke 6:6Matthew 5:29Revelation 10:2
3. Right hand in a concrete exchange or contrast · rare

   In Galatians 2:9, the plural accusative feminine form occurs in the action of giving Paul and Barnabas the “right hand of fellowship.” In 2 Corinthians 6:7, the genitive plural neuter form occurs in the paired expression “weapons of righteousness of the right and of the left.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the verses, the APB commonly presents the term through phrases such as “right hand,” “right side,” and “on the right.” These renderings reflect the clauses’ spatial and bodily references.
