### Examples from the Bible
In the two examples below, the second noun describes the first noun.
>... who calls you into his own <u>kingdom and glory.</u> (1 Thessalonians 2:12 ULB)
Though "kingdom" and "glory" are both nouns, "glory" actually tells what kind of kingdom it is: it is a his own <u>kingdom of glory</u> or his own <u>glorious kingdom</u>.
* In this figure, the noun "glory" describes "kingdom." It is his <u>glorious kingdom</u>.
>... for I will give you <u>words and wisdom</u> ... (Luke 21:15 ULB)
"Words" and "wisdom" are nouns, but in this figure of speech "wisdom" describes "words."
* In this figure, the noun "wisdom" describes "words." They are <u>wise words</u>.
In the example below the first adjective describes the second adjective.
>If you are <u>willing and obedient</u> ... (Isaiah 1:19 ULB)
"Willing" and "obedient" are adjectives, but "willing" describes "obedient."
* The adjective "willing" describes how people should be obedient. They should be <u>willingly obedient</u>. (They should obey willingly.)
