To shame (ἐντρέπων)

Lit., as shaming. See on Mat 21:37. The verb means to turn about, hence to turn one upon himself; put him to shame. Compare 2Th 3:14; Tit 2:8. Also, in the middle voice, in the sense of reverence; to turn one's self toward another. See Mar 12:6; Luk 18:2. The kindred noun ἐντροπή occurs twice: 1Co 6:5; 1Co 15:34. Compare Sophocles: “Think you he will have any regard (ἐντροπὴν) for the blind man” (“Oedipus at Colonos,” 299).
