The analysis reads the King James wording.
King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The glory entered here is not separate from suffering: the verse holds both within one passage.
THE MEANING
You meet the Anointed One’s path as a present reality: he suffers, then enters his glory. The pain remains in view, while glory names the weight and honor that follow.
WHAT THIS UNDOES
The belief that glory requires exemption from suffering; here, suffering comes before entry into glory.
THE ROOT
δόξαν
doxan
GROWS FROM
δοξ
δοξ (dox) is the stem in the Greek family of glory, honor, and reputation, what is seen and recognized as weighty.
The word δόξα (doxa, glory) carries honor and weight, not only splendor. Here that weight is entered after suffering, keeping both within the same movement.
ALSO GROWS
doxa: glory, honor, renown
δόξα
The word used in the verse names the weight the Anointed One enters.
doxazō: glorify, honor
δοξάζω
This verb shares the stem and shows glory as honor made visible.
endoxos: honored, glorious
ἔνδοξος
This related word describes what is held in honor.
παθεῖν
pathein
GROWS FROM
παθ
παθ (path) is the stem of undergoing or experiencing what happens.
“suffer” in this verse is pathein. The verb comes from πάσχω (paschō, undergo or experience), with related words for suffering and affliction. Its sense keeps the experience itself in view: the verse names what is endured before naming what is entered.
ALSO GROWS
pathos: suffering, experience
πάθος
This noun shares the root and makes explicit the experience carried by the verb.
pathēma: suffering, affliction
πάθημα
This related noun shows the same root describing what is undergone.
χριστόν
christon
GROWS FROM
χρι
χρι (chri) means anoint or rub with oil.
“Christ” in this verse is christon. Χριστός (Christos, the anointed one) names a nature or role, not a family name. The verse holds the anointed one’s suffering and entry into glory together.
ALSO GROWS
chriō: anoint
χρίω
This verb is the root action behind the title used in the verse.
chrisma: anointing
χρῖσμα
This noun names the anointing associated with the same root.
THE PATTERN
A passage into glory can include suffering without making suffering the final destination.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.THE THREAD
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.Hebrews uses the same word family, δόξα (doxa, glory), and places it beside suffering and death. The crown does not erase what was suffered; it names the honor that follows.
