These Hebrew terms reflect similar attitudes of disdain and rejection found in the Old Testament, providing a broader biblical context for understanding the concept of contempt and its implications in both personal and communal relationships. Usage: The verb ἐξουθενέω is used in the New Testament to describe an attitude of disdain or contempt towards someone or something, often implying a rejection or devaluation of the person or thing in question. Context: The term ἐξουθενέω appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating a range of contexts where individuals or groups are treated with contempt or disregard. This word is often used to describe the attitude of those who reject or belittle others, whether due to pride, prejudice, or misunderstanding. In the Gospels, ἐξουθενέω is used to describe the rejection of Jesus by those who did not believe in Him. For example, in Luke 18:9, Jesus tells a parable to some who "trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others." This highlights the moral and spiritual danger of self-righteousness and the tendency to look down on others. The Apostle Paul also uses this term in his epistles. In Romans 14:3, he warns against despising fellow believers over differences in dietary practices, urging the church to maintain unity and love. Similarly, in 1 Corinthians 1:28, Paul speaks of how God has chosen the "lowly and despised things of the world" to shame the wise, emphasizing God's preference for humility and His power to elevate the humble. The use of ἐξουθενέω in these contexts underscores a biblical theme of valuing all individuals as created in the image of God, regardless of their social status or perceived worth. It serves as a reminder to believers to avoid attitudes of contempt and to embrace humility and love in their interactions with others.
