Strong’s 5092 gathers the ideas of worth, esteem, dignity, and price. Whether used of God, of Christ, of people, or of material goods, the term always measures value and calls for a response proportionate to that value. Honor Rendered to God and the Lamb • Heavenly worship repeatedly joins honor with praise and glory. “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and power forever and ever!” (Revelation 5:13). Honor here is inseparable from divine sovereignty: creation (Revelation 4:11), redemption (Revelation 5:9-13), and consummation (Revelation 7:9-12). The church’s earthly liturgy echoes this heavenly pattern. Honor Conferred upon Christ • The Father crowned the incarnate Son “with glory and honor” after His sufferings (Hebrews 2:9). These texts anchor Christology: the same honor accorded to God is shared by the Son, confirming His deity and messianic kingship. Honor within the Christian Community 1. Mutual Honor “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another” (Romans 12:10). Self-forgetting esteem imitates the Triune pattern of deferential love. “The elders who lead well are worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching” (1 Timothy 5:17). Material support and public esteem join together under one word. “All who are under the yoke as slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and our teaching will not be blasphemed” (1 Timothy 6:1). Christian witness is at stake when honor is either given or withheld. “The members of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those we consider less honorable we bestow greater honor” (1 Corinthians 12:22-24). Spiritual equality overrides social ranking. Civic and Social Honor • Christians are to render “taxes to whom taxes are due…respect to whom respect, honor to whom honor” (Romans 13:7). Honor as Eschatological Reward • God will repay perseverance “with glory, honor, and immortality” (Romans 2:7). Honor versus Dishonor • The potter makes some vessels for honor, others for common use (Romans 9:21). By grace, the believer cleanses himself so that he becomes “a vessel for honor” (2 Timothy 2:21). Honor Expressed as Monetary Value • Judas returned the “thirty pieces of silver, the price” placed on Jesus (Matthew 27:9). Thus the same word bridges intangible esteem and tangible price, reminding believers that finances inevitably disclose heart-level honor. Historical and Cultural Background In the Greco-Roman world, honor was a limited good fought over in public competition. Scripture reorients that culture: honor is received from God and shared in self-sacrificing love. Earthly status yields to cruciform humility; yet divine honor abides, for God “alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light…To Him be honor and eternal dominion” (1 Timothy 6:16). Pastoral and Discipleship Implications • Worship: Center gatherings on attributing honor to God and the Lamb. Honor, then, is both the believer’s present calling and future inheritance, grounded in the eternal worth of God and expressed through worship, relationships, and righteous living.
