It implies a lack of attention or concern, often in contexts where more care or respect is warranted. In the New Testament, it is used to describe an attitude of indifference or disregard towards something significant.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of honor and shame was prevalent, and to "regard lightly" or neglect something of importance could have social and relational consequences. The term "oligoreo" would have been understood as failing to give due respect or attention, which was a serious matter in a culture that valued honor and proper conduct.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3643</b> <i>oligōréō</i> (from <a href="/greek/3641.htm">3641</a> <i>/olígos</i>, "little in <i>number</i>" and <i>ōra</i>, "concern, care") – properly, caring too little ("in too few places"); to esteem <i>lightly</i>, <i>neglect</i> (<i>LS</i>). </p><p class="discovery"><a href="/greek/3643.htm">3643</a> <i>/oligōréō</i> ("neglect as a <i>habit</i>") is used only in Heb 12:5 (an OT quote, cf.
