Strong's Lexicon kataischuno: To shame, to disgrace, to confound, to dishonor Original Word: καταισχύνω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: kataischuno Pronunciation: kat-ahee-skhoo'-no Phonetic Spelling: (kat-ahee-skhoo'-no) Definition: I shame, disgrace, bring to shame, put to utter confusion, frustrate. Meaning: To dishonor, disgrace, or put to shame. It conveys the idea of causing someone to feel shame or humiliation, often in a public or significant manner. Word Origin: From κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and αἰσχύνω (aischýnō, meaning "to shame" or "to dishonor"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H954 בּוֹשׁ (bosh): To be ashamed, to feel shame. • H2659 חָפֵר (chaphar): To be ashamed, to blush. • H3637 כָּלַם (kalam): To be humiliated, to be put to shame. These Hebrew terms share a similar semantic range with καταισχύνω, often used in the Old Testament to describe the experience of shame or disgrace, particularly in relation to one's standing before God or in the eyes of others. Usage: The verb καταισχύνω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of bringing shame or disgrace upon someone. It is often used in the context of God's faithfulness, where believers are assured that they will not be put to shame if they trust in Him. Context: The Greek verb καταισχύνω appears in several New Testament passages, emphasizing the contrast between human shame and divine vindication. It is frequently used in the context of God's promises and the assurance that those who trust in Him will not be put to shame. This term underscores the reliability and faithfulness of God, as well as the ultimate vindication of believers. In Romans 9:33, Paul quotes Isaiah, saying, "See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame." Here, καταισχύνω is used to affirm that faith in Christ leads to honor rather than disgrace. Similarly, in Romans 10:11, Paul reiterates, "Everyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame," reinforcing the assurance of salvation and honor for those who trust in Jesus. The concept of not being put to shame is also found in 1 Peter 2:6, where Peter cites the same Old Testament prophecy, emphasizing the security and honor of believers in Christ. This usage highlights the eschatological hope and the present assurance that believers have in their relationship with God. Theologically, καταισχύνω serves as a reminder of the transformative power of faith and the ultimate triumph over shame and dishonor through Christ. It reflects the biblical theme of God's faithfulness and the certainty of His promises, providing comfort and encouragement to believers facing trials and persecution.
