λαμπρός — lamprós

λαμπρός, λαμπρά, λαμπρόν (λάμπω);

a. shining; brilliant: ἀστήρ, Rev 22:16 (Homer, Iliad 4, 77, etc.); clear, transparent, Rev 22:1.

b. splendid, magnificent (A. V. gorgeous, bright (see below)): ἐσθής, Luk 23:11; Act 10:30; Jas 2:2 f; λίνον (L Tr WH λίθον), Rev 15:6; βύσσινος,; neuter plural splendid ((R. V. sumptuous)) things, i. e. elegancies or luxuries in dress and style, Rev 18:14. The word is sometimes used of brilliant and glistening whiteness (hence, λαμπρά τηβεννα, toga candida, Polybius 10, 4, 8; 10, 5, 1); accordingly the Vulg. in Act 10:30; Jas 2:2; Rev 15:6 renders it bycandidas; and some interpreters, following the Vulg. (indutum vestc alba), understand 'white apparel' to be spoken of in Luk 23:11 (A. V. gorgeous; (see above)); cf. Keim, iii., p. 380 note (English translation, vi. 104).
