In the biblical context, reputation is often linked to one's character, integrity, and the way one is perceived by others. A good reputation is considered valuable and is often associated with wisdom and righteousness.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/proverbs/22.htm">Proverbs 22:1</a></b> · "A good name is more desirable than great riches; favor is better than silver and gold." This verse highlights the value of a good reputation, suggesting that it is more precious than material wealth. A good name, or reputation, is associated with favor and respect in the community.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/ecclesiastes/7.htm">Ecclesiastes 7:1</a></b> · "A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth." Here, the emphasis is on the enduring nature of a good reputation, which, like fine perfume, leaves a lasting impression. The verse also suggests that a life well-lived, resulting in a good reputation, is more significant than the mere fact of being born.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/1_timothy/3-7.htm">1 Timothy 3:7</a></b> · "Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil." In this passage, the Apostle Paul outlines the qualifications for church leaders, emphasizing the necessity of a good reputation even among non-believers. This underscores the importance of integrity and the witness of one's life to those outside the faith.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/acts/6-3.htm">Acts 6:3</a></b> · "Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty." The early church prioritized selecting leaders with a good reputation, indicating that character and the perception of others were crucial for those in positions of responsibility.<br><br><b>Theological Insights:</b><br><br>· <b>Character and Witness:</b> A good reputation is often seen as a reflection of one's character and a testament to one's faith. It serves as a witness to others, demonstrating the transformative power of a life lived in accordance with God's principles.<br><br>· <b>Community and Influence:</b> Reputation affects one's influence within the community. A person with a good reputation can lead effectively and inspire others, while a poor reputation can hinder one's ability to serve and impact others positively.<br><br>· <b>Guarding Reputation:</b> Believers are encouraged to live lives that uphold their reputation, as it not only affects their personal witness but also the reputation of the church and the name of Christ. This involves living with integrity, honesty, and consistency in one's actions and words.<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b><br><br>· <b>Pursuing Integrity:</b> Christians are called to pursue integrity in all aspects of life, ensuring that their actions align with their professed beliefs. This involves being truthful, reliable, and consistent in one's dealings with others.<br><br>· <b>Building a Good Name:</b> Building a good reputation requires intentional effort and a commitment to living out biblical values. This includes showing love, kindness, and respect to others, as well as being accountable for one's actions.<br><br>· <b>Restoring a Damaged Reputation:</b> For those who have damaged their reputation, the Bible offers hope for restoration through repentance and a renewed commitment to living according to God's standards. The process involves seeking forgiveness, making amends, and demonstrating genuine change over time.<br><br>In summary, reputation in the biblical sense is deeply connected to one's character and the way one is perceived by others. It is a valuable asset that reflects one's faith and integrity, impacting both personal witness and communal influence.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/1_peter/2-12.htm">1 Peter 2:12</a></span><br>Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/ecclesiastes/7-1.htm">Ecclesiastes 7:1</a></span><br>A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/proverbs/22-1.htm">Proverbs 22:1</a></span><br>A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Hence, the Revised Version's change to "repute" in <a href="/galatians/2-2.htm">Galatians 2:2</a> (for dokeo, "seem," perhaps with a slightly sarcastic touch). The Revised Version's alteration of "reputation" into "have in honor" (<a href="/acts/5-34.htm">Acts 5:34</a> <a href="/philippians/2-29.htm">Philippians 2:29</a>) is to secure uniformity of translation for the derivatives of time, "honor," but the Revised Version (British and American) retains "reputation" in Susanna, verse 64.
