Strong's Lexicon atimos: Dishonored, without honor, despised Original Word: ἄτιμος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-), meaning "not" or "without," and τιμή (timē), meaning "honor" or "value." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of being without honor or despised can be related to the Hebrew word "בָּזוּי" (bazuy), which means despised or contemptible, as seen in passages like Isaiah 53:3. Usage: The Greek word "ἄτιμος" (atimos) is used to describe someone or something that is without honor, despised, or considered of little value. It conveys a sense of being disregarded or treated with contempt. In the New Testament, it often refers to the social or spiritual status of individuals who are marginalized or undervalued by society. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with social status, reputation, and respect within the community. Conversely, being "ἄτιμος" (atimos) meant lacking these attributes, often resulting in social exclusion or marginalization. This concept was significant in the early Christian context, where believers were sometimes viewed as dishonored by the broader society due to their faith and counter-cultural practices.
