Though “kingdom” and “glory” are both nouns, “glory” actually tells what kind of kingdom it is: it is a **kingdom of glory** or **a glorious kingdom**.
Two phrases connected by "and" can also be a hendiadys when they refer to a single person, thing, or event.
> while we look forward to receiving <u>the blessed hope and appearing of the glory</u> of <u>our great God and Savior Jesus Christ</u>. (Titus 2:13 ULT)
Titus 2:13 contains two hendiadys. "The blessed hope" and "appearing of the glory" refer to the same thing and serve to strengthen the idea that the return of Jesus Christ is greatly anticipated and wonderful. Also, "our great God" and "Savior Jesus Christ" refer to one person, not two.
#### Reasons this is a translation issue
* Often hendiadys contains an abstract noun. Some languages may not have a noun with the same meaning.
* Many languages do not use hendiadys, so people may not understand that the second word is describing the first one.
* Many languages do not use hendiadys, so people may not understand that the second word is further describing the first one.
* Many languages do not use hendiadys, so people may not understand that only one person or thing is meant, not two.

The noun "glory" can be changed to the adjective "glorious" to make it clear that Jesus' appearing is what we hope for. Also, "Jesus Christ" can be moved to the front of the phrase and "great God and Savior" put into a relative clause that describes the one person, Jesus Christ.

“My hands” is a synecdoche for the whole person, because clearly the arms and the rest of the body and the mind were also involved in the person’s accomplishments.
“My hands” is a synecdoche for the whole person, because clearly the arms and the rest of the body and the mind were also involved in the person’s accomplishments. The hands are chosen to represent the person because they are the parts of the body most directly involved in the work.
