Strong's Lexicon entropé: Shame, disgrace, embarrassment Original Word: ἐντροπή Word Origin: From the verb ἐντρέπω (entrepō), meaning "to turn about" or "to shame." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "entropé," the concept of shame is prevalent in the Old Testament. Some related Hebrew words include: - בּוּשׁ (bush) - to be ashamed - חֶרְפָּה (cherpah) - reproach, disgrace Usage: The Greek word "entropé" primarily denotes a sense of shame or disgrace. It is used in the New Testament to describe a feeling of embarrassment or the state of being ashamed, often in a moral or ethical context. This term can imply a turning inward due to a recognition of wrongdoing or failure to meet a standard. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were significant social values. Shame was not only a personal feeling but also a public state that affected one's social standing. The concept of "entropé" would have resonated deeply with early Christian communities, who were often counter-cultural and faced societal pressures. The early church emphasized living in a way that honored God, contrasting with the surrounding pagan culture, which often led to situations where believers might feel shame for their faith or actions.
