Most English Bibles can't carry the full weight of what's in the original Hebrew and Greek. The F.O.G Bible Project exists to change that — three new translations built publicly (a Study Bible, a Reader's Bible, and F.O.G Jr. for younger readers), plus a word-by-word renewal of Strong's Concordance restoring the depths most translations leave behind. It is Jean Paul's lifelong work, unfolding in public — and you're invited in.
Jean Paul Joseph is the lead editor of the F.O.G Bible Project. He works from a personal encounter with Jesus first, then draws on the scholarship of respected Jewish and Christian scholars — because the church was Jewish before it was anything else, and those roots change everything about how you read Scripture.

συνδοξάζω represents a profound theological concept in the New Testament, particularly in Pauline theology. As a compound word, it combines the prefix σύν (together with) and δοξάζω (to glorify), creating a powerful expression of shared glorification. Its singular use in Romans 8:17 carries immense theological weight, pointing to believers' future participation in the Messiah's glory. The early church understood this term as expressing the ultimate destiny of believers - not merely observing the Messiah's glory but actually sharing in it. This concept remains transformative today, offering hope and perspective on present sufferings in light of future glory.
