Strong's Lexicon oneidos: Reproach, disgrace, insult Original Word: ὀνειδισμός Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: oneidos Pronunciation: o-nay-dos Phonetic Spelling: (on'-i-dos) Definition: Reproach, disgrace, insult Meaning: reproach, disgrace. Word Origin: Derived from the verb ὀνειδίζω (oneidizō), meaning "to reproach" or "to revile." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2781 (חֶרְפָּה, cherpah): Reproach, disgrace - H3639 (כְּלִמָּה, kelimmah): Insult, shame Usage: The term "oneidos" refers to the act of reproach or insult, often implying a sense of disgrace or dishonor. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the scorn or contempt that believers may face from others, particularly for their faith in Christ. It conveys the idea of being shamed or dishonored in the eyes of the world. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were significant social values. To be reproached or insulted was to suffer a loss of honor, which could affect one's social standing and relationships. For early Christians, enduring reproach for the sake of Christ was seen as a mark of true discipleship and a participation in the sufferings of Christ. This perspective was counter-cultural, as it valued spiritual integrity over societal approval.
