Strong's Lexicon aischros: Shameful, disgraceful, dishonorable Original Word: αἰσχρός Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: aischros Pronunciation: ays-khros' Phonetic Spelling: (ahee-skhros') Definition: Shameful, disgraceful, dishonorable Meaning: base, disgraceful. 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 "aischros," the concept of shame is prevalent in the Old Testament, often represented by words like בּוּשׁ (buwsh, Strong's H954) meaning "to be ashamed" or "to feel shame." Usage: The Greek adjective "aischros" is used to describe something that is considered shameful or disgraceful. It often conveys a sense of moral or ethical repugnance, highlighting actions or behaviors that are deemed dishonorable or indecent according to biblical standards. In the New Testament, it is used to admonish believers to avoid conduct that would bring shame or dishonor to themselves or the body of Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with public esteem and social standing, while shame was linked to public disgrace and loss of reputation. The early Christian community, living within this cultural context, was called to uphold a standard of conduct that reflected the holiness and righteousness of God, often countercultural to the prevailing societal norms.
