doxa denotes the honor, splendor, and exalted standing associated with God, Christ, and those brought into it.

The sampled verses most often associate doxa with God or Christ: it is seen, disclosed, or named in connection with God, Christ, divine action, and divine presence. Other occurrences describe people being called into or sharing this exalted state, honor directed to God or Christ, and distinctions belonging to persons, bodies, or created lights.

1. Divine and Christ-associated splendor · dominant

   The noun marks what is seen or spoken of in relation to God and Christ: in Acts 7:55 the APB renders Stephen as seeing “the glory of God,” and in John 11:40 Jesus says that belief will see it. In 2 Corinthians 4:6 the clause concerns knowledge of God in the face of Christ, while 2 Peter 1:17 places honor and doxa in the Father's action toward the Son.

   Acts 7:55John 11:402 Corinthians 4:62 Corinthians 3:182 Peter 1:171 Peter 4:13
2. Exalted state granted or shared · common

   Several clauses place the noun with a person's calling, transformation, resurrection, or future disclosure. In 1 Peter 5:10 the APB renders God as calling believers “to his eternal glory,” and in Colossians 3:4 life is to be revealed with Christ in it; 1 Corinthians 15:43 contrasts being sown in dishonor with being raised in this state.

3. Honor directed to God or Christ · occasional

   The noun occurs in clauses of purpose and attribution. In 1 Corinthians 10:31, eating, drinking, and every action are done “for the glory of God” in the APB; Acts 12:23 contrasts this with not giving it to God, and 2 Peter 3:18 closes by assigning it to Jesus Christ.

   1 Corinthians 10:31Acts 12:232 Corinthians 4:151 Timothy 1:171 Peter 4:112 Peter 3:18
4. Distinction or adornment of persons and creation · occasional

   The noun can identify a distinguishing quality or standing within the verse's comparison. In 1 Corinthians 15:40 the heavenly and earthly bodies have different doxa, and 1 Corinthians 15:41 distinguishes the sun, moon, and stars; 1 Corinthians 11:15 calls a woman's long hair “a glory to her” in the APB.

   1 Corinthians 15:401 Corinthians 15:411 Corinthians 11:151 Corinthians 11:71 Thessalonians 2:201 Peter 1:24

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly uses “glory,” including phrases such as “the glory of God” and “eternal glory”; it also joins the term with “honor” in 1 Timothy 1:17 and 2 Peter 1:17. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent in every clause.
