Doxa | Greek Mnemonics

Bill Mounce’s Basics of Biblical Greek Vocabulary Cards (2nd Edition):

7. doxa (δόξα, -ης, ἡ): glory, majesty, fame

Mnemonics / Memory Aids:

A.) All the ducks say “glory”. 

B.) “Even the ducks all sing glory to God.” (Bill Mounce) 

C.) The glorious boat will arrive down at the docks. (James Rochford, Evidence Unseen) 

D.) “As a ship goes to DOCS, A dying christian goes to GLORY.” (AWOL) 

E.) The doxology at the end of the service truly gave “glory” to God. (Danny Zacharias, FlashGreek Lite) 

F.) A doxology is a word (logos) of God’s glory and majesty. (Tanner Huss) 

G.) “The doc saw the king in his glorious array, his fame preceding his majestic display.” (Google Gemini) 

H.) "Don’t dox the King—He wrote the law; His majesty humbles without a flaw." (ChatGPT) 

Biblically accurate: God is the lawgiver (Isaiah 33:22; James 4:12). 

Logically sound: If He wrote the laws, exposing Him or speaking irreverently ("doxing") is a prideful overreach. 

Majesty humbling us is consistent with passages like Isaiah 6 and Philippians 2:10. 

I.) "Don’t dox the King—His rule is right; Majesty cloaks Him in endless light." (ChatGPT) 

Why it's strong: "His rule is right" echoes God's justice and righteousness (Psalm 89:14). 

"Endless light" reflects God as light (1 John 1:5) and clothed in unapproachable light (1 Timothy 6:16). 

The logic: one should not irreverently expose or disrespect such a perfectly righteous and radiant King.
