Another related term is "גָּדוֹל" (gadol), meaning great or mighty.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "megaloprepés" is used to describe something that is grand, majestic, or splendid in nature. It conveys a sense of greatness and dignity that is fitting for a person or thing of high status or importance. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the majesty and splendor of God or His works.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of majesty and grandeur was often associated with the divine and the imperial. The use of "megaloprepés" would evoke images of the grandeur of kings, emperors, and deities. In Jewish thought, the majesty of God was a central theme, emphasizing His sovereignty and glory above all creation.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3169</b> <i>megaloprepḗs</i> (from <a href="/greek/3178.htm">3178</a> <i>/méthē</i>, "great by comparison" and <a href="/greek/4241.htm">4241</a> <i>/prépō</i>, "make becoming, appropriate") – properly, <i>fitting </i>("<i>befitting</i>") what is magnificent and splendid (full of majesty); "sublime" (Thayer); "unusually attractive and beautiful – 'very wonderful, <i>sublime</i>' " (<i>L & N</i>, 1, 79.14). <a href="/greek/3169.htm">3169</a> <i>/megaloprepḗs</i> ("awesomely majestic") only occurs in 2 Pet 1:17.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3173.htm">megas</a> and <a href="/greek/4241.htm">prepó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>befitting a great one<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Majestic (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3169: μεγαλοπρεπής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μεγαλοπρεπής</span></span>, <span class="greek2">μεγαλοπρεπες</span>, genitive <span class="greek2">μεγαλοπρεποῦς</span>, (<span class="greek2">μέγας</span>, and <span class="greek2">πρέπει</span> it is becoming (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">πρέπω</span></span>)), <span class="accented">befitting a great man, magnificent, splendid; full of majesty, majestic</span>: <a href="/interlinear/2_peter/1-17.htm">2 Peter 1:17</a>.
