Strong's Lexicon paradeigmatizó: To expose, to make a public example of, to disgrace Original Word: παραδειγματίζω Word Origin: From παρά (para, "beside") and δείκνυμι (deiknumi, "to show") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of public shame or disgrace can be related to Hebrew words such as בּוּשׁ (boosh, Strong's H954), which means to be ashamed or confounded, and חֶרְפָּה (cherpah, Strong's H2781), meaning reproach or disgrace. Usage: The verb παραδειγματίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of exposing someone to public shame or disgrace. It carries the connotation of making an example out of someone, often in a humiliating or dishonorable manner. This term is used to convey the idea of public exposure, often with a negative implication, highlighting the shame or dishonor brought upon the individual. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public shame and honor were significant social constructs. Honor was highly valued, and public disgrace could have severe social consequences. The act of exposing someone to public shame was a powerful tool for social control and could be used to deter others from similar behavior. In Jewish culture, public disgrace was also a serious matter, often associated with sin and moral failure.
