lampros describes conspicuous brightness, especially in clothing or fine material, and also of a river, a star, and prized things.

The attested uses most often describe clothing or linen with a conspicuously bright, fine, or splendid appearance; the same descriptive quality is also applied to a river, a morning star, and things described as rich and shining.

1. Bright or splendid clothing and linen · dominant

   The feminine dative and accusative forms occur in clauses about clothing in Acts 10:30, James 2:2, James 2:3, and Luke 23:11; the APB renders the clothing as “shining” in the first three and “splendid” in Luke 23:11. Neuter accusative forms likewise occur with linen in Revelation 15:6 and Revelation 19:8, where the APB renders it “clean shining linen” and “bright clean fine linen.”

2. Bright appearance of natural or celestial images · occasional

3. Shining things among lost riches · rare

   The nominative plural neuter form appears in Revelation 18:14 alongside “all the rich”; the APB renders the clause “all the rich and the shining perished from you,” presenting shining things as part of what is no longer found.

   Revelation 18:14

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies its presentation between “shining,” “splendid,” and “bright,” including “bright as crystal” and “the bright morning star.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these variations describe the verses' clauses rather than establishing separate lexical meanings.
