Strong's Lexicon aischros: Shameful, disgraceful, dishonorable Original Word: αἰσχρός Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: aischros Pronunciation: ays-khros' Phonetic Spelling: (ahee-skhros') Definition: base, disgraceful. Meaning: The term αἰσχρός generally means "shameful," "disgraceful," or "dishonorable." It conveys a sense of moral or ethical repugnance. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root αἰσχ- (aisch-), which is associated with shame or disgrace. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for αἰσχρός, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words such as בּוּשׁ (buwsh, Strong's 954), which means "to be ashamed," and חֶרְפָּה (cherpah, Strong's 2781), meaning "reproach" or "disgrace." These terms convey similar ideas of shame and dishonor in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: In the New Testament, αἰσχρός is used to describe actions, behaviors, or conditions that are considered morally or ethically unacceptable. It often carries a connotation of public disgrace or dishonor. Context: The Greek word αἰσχρός appears in the New Testament to denote actions or behaviors that are considered shameful or disgraceful in the sight of God and man. This term is used to highlight the moral and ethical standards expected of believers, contrasting them with the behaviors that are deemed unacceptable. In Titus 1:11, αἰσχρός is used to describe the "shameful gain" that false teachers seek, emphasizing the unethical nature of their actions: "They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of shameful gain." The use of αἰσχρός in the New Testament serves as a warning against engaging in behaviors that bring dishonor to oneself and the Christian community. It underscores the importance of living a life that reflects the values and teachings of the Gospel, avoiding actions that would lead to public disgrace or moral compromise. The concept of αἰσχρός is rooted in the broader biblical theme of holiness and righteousness, calling believers to uphold a standard of conduct that is pleasing to God. It serves as a reminder of the transformative power of the Gospel, which calls individuals out of a life of shame and into a life of honor and integrity.
