Strong's Lexicon atimia: Dishonor, disgrace, shame Original Word: ἀτιμία Word Origin: Derived from ἄτιμος (atimos), meaning "without honor" or "dishonored." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of dishonor or shame is "קָלוֹן" (qalown), Strong's Hebrew 7036, which conveys disgrace or dishonor. Usage: The Greek word "atimia" refers to a state of dishonor, disgrace, or shame. It is used in the New Testament to describe situations or conditions where honor is lacking or where there is a sense of public shame or disgrace. This term often contrasts with "doxa" (glory or honor) and is used to highlight the absence of respect or esteem. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with social status, reputation, and the respect of one's peers, while shame was seen as a loss of face and social standing. The concept of "atimia" would have been understood as a serious social and moral failing, impacting not only individuals but also families and communities. In Jewish culture, honor was similarly important, and shame was often linked to sin and disobedience to God's commandments.
