The absence of shame in the Hebrew context often relates to righteousness and trust in God.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "anepaischuntos" is used to describe a state of being unashamed or without shame. It conveys a sense of confidence and integrity, particularly in one's actions or beliefs. In the New Testament, it is often associated with the idea of standing firm in one's faith and convictions without fear of disgrace or embarrassment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were significant cultural values. Being unashamed was associated with maintaining one's honor and reputation in society. For early Christians, who often faced persecution and social ostracism, being "unashamed" was a powerful affirmation of their steadfastness in faith and their commitment to the Gospel, despite external pressures to conform or deny their beliefs.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>422</b> <i>anepaísxyntos</i> (from <a href="/greek/1.htm">1</a> <i>/A</i> "not" and 1870<i>/epais<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ynomai</i>, "ashamed") – properly, not ashamed, because having discharged <i>needed</i> responsibility which <i>appropriately</i> accomplishes what God assigns (note the prefix, <i>epi</i>).</p><p class="discovery">422<i>/anepais<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>yntos</i> ("not disgraced"), used only in 2 Tim 2:15, refers to the (positive) result of being a <i>good interpreter</i> of Scripture. </p><p class="discovery">[<a href="/greek/422.htm">422</a> (<i>anepaísxyntos</i>) is a rare word and "very seldom occurs in the ancient world.
