STRONGS NT 5197: ὑβριστής

ὑβριστής, ὑβριστοῦ, (ὑβρίζω), from Homer down, "an insolent man, 'one who, uplifted with pride, either heaps insulting language upon others or does them some shameful act of wrong'" (Fritzsche, Ep. ad Romans, i., p. 86; (cf. Trench, Synonyms, § xxix.; Schmidt, chapter 177; Cope on Aristotle, rhet. 2, 2, 5 (see ὕβρις))): Romans 1:30; 1 Timothy 1:13.

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὑβρίζω (hybrizō), meaning "to insult" or "to treat shamefully."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑβριστής, similar concepts can be found in the Hebrew Bible. Terms such as עָרִיץ (aritz, Strong's Hebrew 6184), meaning "violent" or "tyrant," and זָדוֹן (zadon, Strong's Hebrew 2087), meaning "pride" or "insolence," capture aspects of the behavior described by ὑβριστής. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of arrogance and violent behavior that is condemned in biblical teachings.

Usage: The word ὑβριστής appears in the New Testament in contexts that describe individuals who exhibit extreme arrogance or violent behavior. It is used to characterize those who act with a sense of superiority and disregard for others, often leading to acts of violence or insult.

Context: The term ὑβριστής is found in the New Testament in 1 Timothy 1:13, where the Apostle Paul describes his former life before his conversion to Christianity. In this passage, Paul refers to himself as a "blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man" (BSB), using ὑβριστής to highlight his past behavior characterized by arrogance and violence against Christians. This self-description underscores the transformative power of grace in Paul's life, as he contrasts his former insolence with his current role as an apostle.

The concept of ὑβριστής is significant in understanding the moral and ethical teachings of the New Testament. It serves as a warning against the dangers of pride and the destructive nature of violent behavior. The term is often associated with a lack of humility and a failure to recognize the dignity and worth of others, which are central themes in Christian ethics.

In a broader biblical context, ὑβριστής can be seen as a representation of the sinful nature that leads individuals away from God. The New Testament calls believers to reject such behavior and to embrace a life of humility, love, and respect for others, reflecting the character of Christ.
