Strong's Lexicon oneidizó: To reproach, revile, insult, or upbraid. Original Word: ὀνειδίζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: oneidizó Pronunciation: o-ni-did'-zo Phonetic Spelling: (on-i-did'-zo) Definition: I reproach, revile, upbraid. Meaning: To reproach, revile, or insult; to cast blame or shame upon someone. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek noun ὄνειδος (oneidos), meaning "reproach" or "disgrace." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H2781 (חֶרְפָּה, cherpah): Reproach, disgrace, or shame. • H2778 (חָרַף, charaph): To reproach, taunt, or defy. These Hebrew terms share a similar semantic range with ὀνειδίζω, often used in the Old Testament to describe the act of reproach or disgrace, particularly in the context of Israel's relationship with God and the nations. Usage: The verb ὀνειδίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of reproaching or insulting someone, often in the context of persecution or scorn for one's faith or actions. Context: The Greek verb ὀνειδίζω appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating the theme of reproach and the challenges faced by believers. It is often used in contexts where individuals are scorned or insulted for their faith or righteous actions. For example, in Matthew 5:11, Jesus speaks of the blessedness of those who are reviled for His sake: "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me." Here, ὀνειδίζω captures the essence of being insulted or reviled for one's association with Christ. In Romans 15:3, Paul uses the term to describe Christ's experience of reproach: "For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: 'The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.'" This highlights the sacrificial nature of Christ's mission, bearing the reproach intended for others. James 1:5 provides a different perspective, where the term is used in the context of God's generosity: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." Here, ὀνειδίζω emphasizes God's willingness to give without finding fault or reproaching the seeker. The use of ὀνειδίζω in the New Testament underscores the reality of opposition and scorn faced by believers, while also highlighting the example of Christ, who bore reproach on behalf of humanity. It serves as a reminder of the cost of discipleship and the call to endure insults for the sake of righteousness.
