Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Verb Strong's Number: g2744 Greek: kauchaomai

Glory (To Boast), Glorying:

"to boast or glory," is always translated in the RV by the verb "to glory," where the AV uses the verb "to boast" (see, e.g., Rom 2:17, 23; 2Cr 7:14; 9:2; 10:8, 13, 15, 16); it is used

(a) of "vainglorying," e.g., 1Cr 1:29;

(b) of "valid glorying," e.g., Rom 5:2, "rejoice;" Rom 5:3, 11 (RV, "rejoice"); 1Cr 1:31; 2Cr 9:2; 10:8; 12:9; Gal 6:14; Phl 3:3; Jam 1:9, RV, "glory" (AV, "rejoice").
See BOAST, JOY, REJOICE.

A-2 Verb Strong's Number: g2620 Greek: katakauchaomai

Glory (To Boast), Glorying:

a strengthened form of No. 1 (kata, intensive), signifies "to boast against, exult over," Rom 11:18, RV, "glory" (AV, "boast"); Jam 2:13, RV, "glorieth" (AV, "rejoiceth"); Jam 3:14, "glory (not)."
See BOAST, REJOICE.

A-3 Verb Strong's Number: g1722 g2744 Greek: enkauchaomai

Glory (To Boast), Glorying:

en, "in," and No. 1, "to glory in," is found, in the most authentic mss., in 2Th 1:4.

Note: Cp. perpereuomai, "to vaunt oneself, to be perperos, vainglorious," 1Cr 13:4.

B-1 Noun Strong's Number: g2745 Greek: kauchema

Glory (To Boast), Glorying:

akin to A, No. 1, denotes "that in which one glories, a matter or ground of glorying," Rom 4:2; Phl 2:16, RV, "whereof to glory" (for Rom 3:27, see No. 2); in the following the meaning is likewise "a ground of glorying:" 1Cr 5:6; 9:15, "glorying," 1Cr 9:16, "to glory of;" 2Cr 1:14, RV; 2Cr 9:3, RV; Gal 6:4, RV (AV, "rejoicing"); Phl 1:26 (ditto); Hbr 3:6 (ditto). In 2Cr 5:12; 9:3 the word denotes the boast itself, yet as distinct from the act (see No. 2).

B-2 Noun Strong's Number: g2746 Greek: kauchesis

Glory (To Boast), Glorying:

denotes "the act of boasting," Rom 3:27; 15:17, RV, "(my) glorying" (AV, "whereof I may glory"); 1Cr 15:31, RV, "glorying;" 2Cr 1:12 (ditto); 7:4, 14 (AV, "boasting"); 8:24; 11:10, 17 (ditto); 1Th 2:19 (AV, "rejoicing"); Jam 4:16 (ditto). The distinction between this and No. 1 is to be observed in 2Cr 8:24, speaking of the Apostle's act of "glorying" in the liberality of the Corinthians, while in 2Cr 9:3 he exhorts them not to rob him of the ground of his "glorying" (No. 1). Some take the word in 2Cr 1:12 (see above) as identical with No. 1, a boast, but there seems to be no reason for regarding it as different from its usual sense, No. 2.

Note: Cp. alazoneia (or -ia), "vainglory, ostentatious (or arrogant) display," Jam 4:16; 1Jo 2:16, and alazon, "a boaster," Rom 1:30; 2Ti 3:2.
