atimia denotes dishonor or a discrediting condition, often contrasted with honor, glory, or good report.

The attested use describes dishonor as a discrediting condition or status, whether attached to a person, what is sown, passions, or vessels; several verses set it directly against honor, glory, or good report.

Senses in use

  1. A condition or attribution of disgrace · dominant

    The noun marks what is regarded as dishonoring or discrediting: in 1 Corinthians 11:14 the APB renders a man's long hair as “a dishonor to him,” and in 1 Corinthians 15:43 it renders what is sown “in dishonor” before it is raised in glory. In 2 Corinthians 6:8 the APB places it alongside glory, slander, and good report; in Romans 1:26 it renders passions as “dishonorable,” while 2 Timothy 2:20 and Romans 9:21 contrast vessels for honor with vessels for dishonor.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “dishonor,” “dishonour,” “dishonorable,” and “dishonorable use” across these verses. It also renders the surrounding contrasts with “glory,” “good report,” and “honorable use,” but its wording is a translation rather than a word-by-word alignment.
