It conveys a sense of verbal abuse or harsh criticism. This term is often associated with unjust or malicious speech directed towards others, reflecting a spirit of contempt or disdain.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, verbal abuse and public insults were common, especially in legal and political contexts. Honor and shame were significant cultural values, and public reviling could damage a person's reputation and social standing. The New Testament's use of "loidoreó" reflects the early Christian community's emphasis on speech that builds up rather than tears down, contrasting with the surrounding culture's acceptance of harsh and abusive language.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3058</b> <i>loidoréō</i>(from <a href="/greek/3060.htm">3060</a> <i>/loídoros</i>, "a reviler") – properly, to say harsh things (make verbal assaults); to <i>revile</i>; to spue bitter (tasteless) statements, using <i>mean-spirited</i>, <i>insulting</i> words to demoralize (humiliate).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3060.htm">loidoros</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to abuse, revile<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>revile (1), reviled (3).<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 3058: λοιδορέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λοιδορέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">λοιδόρω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐλοιδόρησα</span>; present passive participle <span class="greek2">λοιδορούμενος</span>; (<span class="greek2">λοίδορος</span>); <span class="accented">to reproach, rail at, revile, heap abuse upon</span>: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/john/9-28.htm">John 9:28</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/23-4.htm">Acts 23:4</a>; passive, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/4-12.htm">1 Corinthians 4:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/2-23.htm">1 Peter 2:23</a>.
