Usage: The verb ταπεινόω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of humbling oneself or being humbled by circumstances or divine intervention. It often conveys the idea of lowering one's pride or status in recognition of God's sovereignty and grace. Context: The term ταπεινόω appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, emphasizing the virtue of humility and the spiritual necessity of recognizing one's dependence on God. In the teachings of Jesus, humility is a key characteristic of those who belong to the Kingdom of Heaven. For instance, in Matthew 23:12, Jesus states, "Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." This paradoxical principle underscores the divine reversal of worldly values, where true greatness is found in servitude and humility.
