When a speaker expresses a single idea by using two words that are connected with "and," it is called "hendiadys." In hendiadys, the two words work together. Usually one of the words is the primary idea and the other word further describes the primary one.
>... his own <u>kingdom and glory.</u> (1 Thessalonians 2:12 ULB)
>... 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 **kingdom of glory** or **a glorious kingdom**.

>... if you are willing and obedient ... (Isaiah 1:19 ULB)
>If you are <u>willing and obedient</u> ... (Isaiah 1:19 ULB)
"Willing" and "obedient" are adjectives, but "willing" describes "obedient."
