Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 3681: ὄνειδος ὄνειδος, ὀνείδους, τό (from ὄνομαι to blame, to revile), from Homer down, reproach; equivalent to shame: Luke 1:25. (The Sept. chiefly for חֶרְפָּה; three times for כְּלִמָּה disgrace, Isaiah 30:3; Micah 2:6; Proverbs 18:13.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the verb ὀνειδίζω (oneidizō), meaning "to reproach" or "to revile." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H2781 (חֶרְפָּה, cherpah): Often translated as "reproach" or "disgrace," this Hebrew term shares a similar meaning with ὀνειδισμός and is used in the Old Testament to describe the shame or dishonor brought upon individuals or nations. • H3639 (כְּלִמָּה, kelimmah): Another Hebrew word for "reproach" or "insult," highlighting the experience of being scorned or humiliated. These Hebrew terms provide a background for understanding the concept of reproach in the biblical narrative, illustrating the continuity of this theme from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Usage: The term ὀνειδισμός is used in the New Testament to describe the experience of being reproached or insulted, often in the context of suffering for one's faith or standing firm in righteousness. Context: The term ὀνειδισμός appears in several New Testament passages, highlighting the theme of enduring reproach for the sake of Christ and the gospel. It is often associated with the trials and persecutions faced by believers who remain steadfast in their faith. In Romans 15:3, the Apostle Paul uses ὀνειδισμός to illustrate how Christ Himself bore 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 passage emphasizes the selflessness of Christ, who endured scorn and reproach for the sake of others, fulfilling the messianic prophecy found in Psalm 69:9. Hebrews 10:33 speaks of believers who "were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations," indicating that enduring ὀνειδισμός is part of the Christian experience, especially in the face of persecution. This endurance is seen as a testament to one's faith and commitment to Christ. In Hebrews 11:26, Moses is commended for considering "the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt," demonstrating the value placed on suffering for righteousness over worldly gain. This passage underscores the eternal perspective that prioritizes spiritual rewards over temporal comforts. The use of ὀνειδισμός in these contexts serves to encourage believers to remain faithful despite opposition, drawing strength from the example of Christ and the hope of future glory.
