It often conveys a sense of moral repugnance or ethical impropriety.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with public esteem and moral integrity, while shame was linked to public disgrace and moral failure. The concept of "aischron" would have resonated deeply with early Christian communities, who were called to live counter-culturally in a society that often held different moral standards.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/greek/150.htm">aischros</a>. <p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>shame. <p>Neuter of <a href="/greek/150.htm">aischros</a>; a shameful thing, i.e. Indecorum -- shame. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/150.htm">aischros</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>αισχραί αισχρόν αισχροτέρας αισχρού<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><a href="/greek/e_ren_142.htm">ἦρεν — 6 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_rken_142.htm">ἦρκεν — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_rmenon_142.htm">ἠρμένον — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_rthe__142.htm">ἤρθη — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aistho_ntai_143.htm">αἴσθωνται — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aisthe_sei_144.htm">αἰσθήσει — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aisthe_te_ria_145.htm">αἰσθητήρια — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischrokerde__146.htm">αἰσχροκερδῆ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischrokerdeis_146.htm">αἰσχροκερδεῖς — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischrokerdo_s_147.htm">αἰσχροκερδῶς — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischron_150.htm">αἰσχρὸν — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischrou_150.htm">αἰσχροῦ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischrote_s_151.htm">αἰσχρότης — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischunas_152.htm">αἰσχύνας — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischune__152.htm">αἰσχύνῃ — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischune_s_152.htm">αἰσχύνης — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischunestho__153.htm">αἰσχυνέσθω — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischunomai_153.htm">αἰσχύνομαι — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischunthe_somai_153.htm">αἰσχυνθήσομαι — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/aischuntho_men_153.htm">αἰσχυνθῶμεν — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/greek/148.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="148"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="148" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/greek/150.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="150"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="150" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
