Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὀνειδίζω (oneidizō), meaning "to reproach" or "to revile."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of reproach in the Old Testament is often expressed by the Hebrew word חֶרְפָּה (cherpah), Strong's Hebrew 2781. This term similarly conveys the idea of disgrace or insult and is used in various contexts where individuals or nations experience shame or scorn. Another related Hebrew term is גְּדוּפָה (geduphah), Strong's Hebrew 1421, which also denotes reproach or blasphemy. These Hebrew terms provide a foundation for understanding the New Testament usage of ὀνειδισμός within the broader biblical narrative of enduring reproach for righteousness.

Usage: The term ὀνειδισμός is used in the New Testament to describe the experience of being reproached or insulted, often in the context of suffering for one's faith or standing firm in righteousness.

Context: The Greek term ὀνειδισμός appears in several New Testament passages, highlighting the theme of enduring reproach for the sake of Christ. This concept is significant in the Christian experience, as believers are often called to bear insults and scorn as part of their commitment to following Jesus.

In Romans 15:3, the Apostle Paul writes, "For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: 'The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.'" Here, ὀνειδισμός is used to describe the reproaches that Christ bore on behalf of others, fulfilling the prophecy and demonstrating His selfless love and sacrifice.

Hebrews 10:33 speaks of believers who "were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations," indicating that enduring ὀνειδισμός is part of the Christian journey, often accompanied by other forms of suffering. This passage encourages believers to remain steadfast despite the challenges they face.

In Hebrews 11:26, Moses is commended for considering "the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt," illustrating the value placed on enduring ὀνειδισμός for the sake of faith and the eternal reward it promises.

The concept of ὀνειδισμός is further emphasized in 1 Peter 4:14, where Peter assures believers, "If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you." This verse highlights the honor and blessing associated with enduring reproach for Christ's name.

Overall, ὀνειδισμός serves as a reminder of the cost of discipleship and the call to bear reproach with grace and perseverance, following the example of Christ Himself.
