It carries a negative connotation, suggesting a compromise of principles or values to gain favor or approval from others. In the New Testament, it is often used to caution against prioritizing human approval over divine obedience.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, social status and public approval were highly valued. Philosophers and moralists often criticized those who sought to please others at the expense of truth or virtue. In the early Christian context, believers were encouraged to remain steadfast in their faith and convictions, even when facing societal pressure or persecution.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/444.htm">anthrópos</a> and areskos (pleasing)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>man-pleasing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>men-pleasers (1), please men (1), those who...please men (1).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 441: ἀνθρωπάρεσκος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀνθρωπάρεσκος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀνθρωπάρεσκον</span> (<span class="greek2">ἄνθρωπος</span> and <span class="greek2">ἄρεσκος</span> agreeable, pleasing, insinuating; cf. <span class="greek2">εὐάρεσκος</span>, <span class="greek2">δυσαρεσκος</span>, <span class="greek2">ἀυταρεσκος</span> in <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 621); only in Biblical and ecclesiastical writings.
