oneidizo is to direct abusive reproach or blame at someone, whether from hostile opponents or in rebuke.

The verb consistently denotes directing reproach against someone: opponents insult and reject people in Matthew 5:11 and Luke 6:22, crucified men revile Jesus in Mark 15:32 and Matthew 27:44, and Jesus directs rebuke toward unbelief and unrepentant cities in Mark 16:14 and Matthew 11:20. The same pattern also appears in passive forms for receiving such reproach in 1 Peter 4:14 and 1 Timothy 4:10.

   Active forms mark hostile speech or rebuke directed toward a person or group: in Matthew 5:11 the APB renders people speaking evil falsely against the addressed persons, while in Mark 15:32 it renders those crucified with Jesus “reviling him.” In Mark 16:14, the aorist active form occurs in a rebuke of unbelief and hardness of heart; Matthew 11:20 similarly places the infinitive in Jesus' response to cities that did not repent. Passive forms show the corresponding experience of receiving reproach in 1 Peter 4:14 and 1 Timothy 4:10.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly uses “revile” or “reviling” in the active clauses, while passive occurrences are presented as being “reproached” or suffering “reproach.” These renderings confirm the clauses' overall portrayal rather than assigning a separate English equivalent in every verse.
