Exegesis
In the explanatory clause, aster gar asteros diapherei en doxe {ἀστὴρ γὰρ ἀστέρος διαφέρει ἐν δόξῃ | as-tḗr gár as-té-ros di-a-phé-rei en dóx-ē}, gar introduces the rationale, aster serves as the nominative subject, the genitive asteros establishes the comparative measure (“from another star”), and diapherei conveys the differential action. The prepositional phrase en doxe denotes the sphere of comparison (“in glory”). This structure balances repetition with variation to emphasize both commonality of glory and particularity of radiance among the luminaries.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:41
There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and another of the stars ; for each star differs from another in glory.
