It often carries a connotation of pride or arrogance when used in a negative sense, implying an unwarranted elevation of oneself above others. In a positive context, it can refer to the act of exalting or lifting up in honor or status.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, social status and honor were highly valued, and individuals often sought to elevate themselves in the eyes of others. The concept of "huperairó" would resonate with early Christian communities as they navigated the tension between societal norms and the teachings of humility and servanthood exemplified by Jesus Christ. The early church emphasized humility and warned against pride, aligning with the broader biblical narrative that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5228.htm">huper</a> and <a href="/greek/142.htm">airó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to lift or raise over, mid. to uplift oneself<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>exalting (2), exalts (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 5229: ὑπεραίρω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὑπεραίρω</span></span>: present middle <span class="greek2">ὑπεραίρομαι</span>; (<span class="greek2">ὑπέρ</span> and <span class="greek2">αἴρω</span>); <span class="accented">to lift or raise up over</span> something; middle <span class="accented">to lift oneself up, be exalted, be haughty</span>: <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/12-7.htm">2 Corinthians 12:7</a> (<span class="abbreviation">R.
