Across the occurrences, the noun marks a discrediting condition or outcome: in 2 Corinthians 4:2 the APB renders the clause about renouncing “the hidden things of shame,” while in Hebrews 12:2 it describes what is despised in enduring the cross. In Luke 14:9 it accompanies being moved to the lowest place; Jude 1:13 speaks of waves “foaming up their own shames,” Philippians 3:19 of glory being in such disgrace, and Revelation 3:18 of nakedness being revealed.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “shame” in several clauses, plural “shames” in Jude 1:13, and places it in differing scenes of concealment, humiliation, conduct, and nakedness. These English expressions confirm the verse contexts rather than establish separate lexical meanings.
