Strong's Lexicon anepaischuntos: Unashamed, not ashamed Original Word: ἀνεπαίσχυντος Word Origin: From the negative particle "a" (meaning "not") and "epaischunomai" (meaning "to be ashamed") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anepaischuntos," the concept of being unashamed can be related to Hebrew words like "בּוֹשׁ" (bôsh, Strong's H954), which means "to be ashamed" or "to feel shame." The absence of shame in the Hebrew context often relates to righteousness and trust in God. Usage: The term "anepaischuntos" is used to describe a state of being unashamed or without shame. It conveys a sense of confidence and integrity, particularly in one's actions or beliefs. In the New Testament, it is often associated with the idea of standing firm in one's faith and convictions without fear of disgrace or embarrassment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were significant cultural values. Being unashamed was associated with maintaining one's honor and reputation in society. For early Christians, who often faced persecution and social ostracism, being "unashamed" was a powerful affirmation of their steadfastness in faith and their commitment to the Gospel, despite external pressures to conform or deny their beliefs.
