Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑβρίζω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey violence, arrogance, or insult. Some related Hebrew entries include:
• Strong's Hebrew 2555 (חָמָס, chamas): violence, wrong, cruelty.
• Strong's Hebrew 1421 (גָּדַף, gadaph): to revile, to blaspheme.
• Strong's Hebrew 5006 (נָאַץ, na'ats): to despise, to scorn.

These Hebrew terms reflect similar themes of mistreatment and disrespect, providing a broader biblical context for understanding the implications of ὑβρίζω in the New Testament.

Usage: The verb ὑβρίζω is used in the New Testament to describe actions that are characterized by arrogance, mistreatment, or insult. It often conveys a sense of violence or outrage against others.

Context: The Greek verb ὑβρίζω appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating the concept of insolent or violent behavior. It is often associated with actions that are not only disrespectful but also harmful to others. This term is used to describe the mistreatment of individuals, particularly in contexts where there is a power imbalance or an abuse of authority.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ὑβρίζω is translated in contexts that highlight the severity of the actions. For example, in Matthew 22:6, it describes the mistreatment of the king's servants: "The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them." Here, ὑβρίζω underscores the violent and contemptuous actions of those who reject the king's invitation.

Another significant usage is found in Acts 14:5, where Paul and Barnabas face hostility: "But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them." The term captures the aggressive intent and the physical threat posed to the apostles.

The concept of ὑβρίζω is not limited to physical violence but extends to any form of arrogant or contemptuous behavior that dishonors or devalues others. It serves as a warning against the dangers of pride and the moral decay that accompanies such attitudes.
