δοξάζων
doxázō
glorifying
To ascribe or attribute glory, honor, or renown to someone or something; to extol, praise, or magnify. The verb is most often used of giving public recognition, honor, or reverence—typically to a deity or distinguished person—but can also mean to bring into a state of glory or to make renowned, to enhance reputation or splendor, sometimes in a causative sense ('to make glorious'). Contextually, δοξάζω includes both the act of declaring or recognizing someone's honor, and, less commonly, causing someone to become glorious or honorable in status or reputation.
