In the context of Scripture, upbraiding is typically an expression of disappointment or correction, intended to bring about repentance or a change in behavior.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/mark/16-14.htm">Mark 16:14</a></b> · One of the most notable instances of upbraiding in the New Testament occurs after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In <a href="/mark/16-14.htm">Mark 16:14</a> , it is recorded: "Later as they were reclining at the table, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen." Here, Jesus reproaches His disciples for their lack of faith and their skepticism regarding His resurrection, despite the testimony of witnesses. This upbraiding serves as a corrective measure, emphasizing the importance of faith and trust in the testimony of the risen Christ.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a></b> · The concept of upbraiding is also present in the epistle of James, though in a different context. <a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a> states: "Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." The phrase "without finding fault" is sometimes translated as "without upbraiding." This passage highlights God's gracious nature, contrasting human tendencies to reproach with God's willingness to provide wisdom generously and without reproach to those who seek it.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>The act of upbraiding in the Bible often underscores the seriousness of unbelief and disobedience. It serves as a reminder of the high standards to which believers are called and the importance of faithfulness and trust in God's promises. Jesus' upbraiding of His disciples in <a href="/mark/16-14.htm">Mark 16:14</a> illustrates His desire for them to grow in faith and understanding, preparing them for their mission to spread the Gospel.<br><br>Conversely, the assurance in <a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a> that God gives wisdom without upbraiding offers comfort and encouragement to believers. It reassures them that God is patient and generous, willing to provide guidance and understanding to those who humbly seek it.<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b><br><br>For believers, the concept of upbraiding can serve as both a warning and an encouragement. It warns against the dangers of unbelief and spiritual hardness, urging believers to remain steadfast in faith. At the same time, it encourages them to approach God with confidence, knowing that He is a loving Father who desires to give good gifts to His children, including wisdom and understanding.<br><br>In summary, the biblical use of "upbraided" reflects the balance between God's righteous standards and His gracious provision, calling believers to a life of faith and reliance on His wisdom.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Upbraid.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1649.htm"><span class="l">1649. elegxis -- reproof</span></a> <br><b>...</b> See 2 Pet 2:16 (the only occurrence of 1649 ) where the rebuke fits, being <b>upbraided</b><br> by a (where the ass had more sense than Balaam)!
