It is often associated with a lack of respect for authority and a disregard for the well-being of others. Context: The Greek term ὕβρις appears in the New Testament to describe actions characterized by excessive pride and disrespect. This concept is deeply rooted in the cultural and moral understanding of the ancient world, where ὕβρις was seen as a serious offense against both human and divine order. In the New Testament, ὕβρις is used to illustrate the sinful nature of humanity and the consequences of living in defiance of God's commandments.
