It is a concept deeply rooted in the teachings of Scripture, emphasizing the value and honor that should be accorded to individuals and the divine. Esteem for Others The Bible frequently addresses the importance of esteeming others, often in the context of humility and love. <a href="/philippians/2-3.htm">Philippians 2:3-4</a> instructs believers, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." This passage highlights the call to prioritize others' needs and to hold them in high regard, reflecting Christ's own humility and selflessness. <a href="/romans/12-10.htm">Romans 12:10</a> further reinforces this idea: "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another." Here, the apostle Paul encourages believers to actively seek ways to honor and esteem their fellow Christians, fostering a community of mutual respect and love. Esteem for Authority Scripture also addresses the importance of esteeming those in positions of authority. In <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-12.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:12-13</a> , Paul writes, "But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, who preside over you in the Lord and give you instruction. In love, hold them in highest regard because of their work. Live in peace with one another." This passage underscores the respect and esteem that should be given to church leaders and those who labor in the ministry. Similarly, <a href="/romans/13.htm">Romans 13:1-2</a> speaks to the broader context of civil authority: "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God. Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves." Esteem for authority is seen as part of a believer's duty to honor God's established order. Esteem for Oneself While the Bible emphasizes humility, it also acknowledges the importance of a healthy self-esteem rooted in one's identity in Christ. <a href="/ephesians/2-10.htm">Ephesians 2:10</a> declares, "For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life." This verse affirms the inherent value and purpose bestowed upon each believer by God, encouraging a sense of self-worth that is grounded in divine creation and calling. Esteem for God Above all, the highest esteem is reserved for God. The Bible is replete with calls to honor and revere the Lord. <a href="/proverbs/3-9.htm">Proverbs 3:9</a> instructs, "Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your harvest." Esteeming God involves recognizing His sovereignty, worshiping Him, and living in obedience to His commands. <a href="/psalms/29-2.htm">Psalm 29:2</a> echoes this sentiment: "Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness." Esteem for God is expressed through worship, reverence, and a life that reflects His holiness and glory. In summary, esteem in the biblical sense encompasses respect and honor for others, authority, oneself, and ultimately, God. It is a reflection of the love and humility that are central to the Christian faith, guiding believers in their relationships and worship.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

We have examples of both senses in the Bible. The word most often so translated in the Old Testament is chashabh, meaning perhaps originally, "to bind," hence, "combine," "think," "reckon" (<a href="/job/41-27.htm">Job 41:27</a> the King James Version; <a href="/isaiah/29-16.htm">Isaiah 29:16, 17</a>; <a href="/isaiah/53-4.htm">Isaiah 53:4</a> <a href="/lamentations/4-2.htm">Lamentations 4:2</a>). In <a href="/isaiah/53-3.htm">Isaiah 53:3</a> we have the word in the higher sense, "We esteemed him not." This sense is expressed also by `arakh, "to set in array," "in order" (<a href="/job/36-19.htm">Job 36:19</a>, the King James Version "Will he esteem thy riches?" the English Revised Version "Will thy riches suffice?" margin "Will thy cry avail?" which the American Standard Revised Version adopts as the text); also by tsaphan, "to hide," "to conceal" (<a href="/job/23-12.htm">Job 23:12</a>, the King James Version "I have esteemed the words of his mouth," the Revised Version (British and American) "treasured up"); qalah, "to be light," is translated "lightly esteemed" (<a href="/1_samuel/18-23.htm">1 Samuel 18:23</a>, "I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed"), also qalal, same meaning (<a href="/1_samuel/2-30.htm">1 Samuel 2:30</a>, "They that despise me shall be lightly esteemed"). In the New Testament, hegeomai, "to lead out," is used in the sense of "counting honorable," etc. (<a href="/philippians/2-3.htm">Philippians 2:3</a> the Revised Version (British and American) "counting"; <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-13.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:13</a>; perhaps <a href="/hebrews/11-26.htm">Hebrews 11:26</a>, but the Revised Version (British and American) has simply "accounting"); krino, "to judge," is used in the sense of "to reckon" (<a href="/romans/14-5.htm">Romans 14:5</a> twice); also logizomai, "to reckon" (<a href="/romans/14-14.htm">Romans 14:14</a>, the Revised Version (British and American) "accounteth"); hupselos, "high," "exalted," is rendered "highly esteemed" in <a href="/luke/16-15.htm">Luke 16:15</a> the King James Version, but in the Revised Version (British and American) "exalted"; exoutheneo, "to think nothing of," is translated "least esteemed" (<a href="/1_corinthians/6-4.htm">1 Corinthians 6:4</a> the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) "of no account"). The following changes in the Revised Version (British and American) are of interest: for "He that is despised and hath a servant, is better than he that honoreth himself and lacketh bread" (<a href="/proverbs/12-9.htm">Proverbs 12:9</a>), "Better is he that is lightly esteemed"; for "Better is he than both they, which hath not yet been" (<a href="/ecclesiastes/4-3.htm">Ecclesiastes 4:3</a>), "Better than them both did I esteem him," margin "Better than they both is he"; for "Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay" (<a href="/isaiah/29-16.htm">Isaiah 29:16</a>), "Ye turn things upside down!" (margin, "Oh your perversity!"), "Shall the potter be esteemed (the English Revised Version "counted") as clay," etc.-in this connection a forcible assertion of the necessary possession of knowledge by the Creator of man.
