Strong's Lexicon exoutheneó: To despise, to treat with contempt, to regard as nothing. Original Word: ἐξουθενέω Word Origin: From the Greek words ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and οὐθέν (outhen, meaning "nothing"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is בָּזָה (bazah, Strong's H959), which means to despise or hold in contempt. Usage: The verb "exoutheneó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of despising or treating someone or something as of no account or value. It conveys a sense of looking down upon or disregarding the worth or significance of a person or thing. This term often carries a negative connotation, highlighting an attitude of arrogance or superiority. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, social hierarchies were prevalent, and people often faced contempt based on their social status, ethnicity, or beliefs. The early Christian community, which included individuals from diverse backgrounds, was called to counteract such attitudes by embracing humility and valuing each member as part of the body of Christ. The use of "exoutheneó" in the New Testament reflects the tension between worldly values and the kingdom values taught by Jesus.
