ἀσχήμ-ων G0809
Unpresentable, unseemly; parts of the body considered improper to display publicly
This adjective described what was considered indecorous or improper to show—body parts that culture deemed private. Paul uses it metaphorically in 1 Corinthians to discuss church unity, arguing that the body's 'unpresentable parts' receive special honor through clothing, teaching that seemingly less honorable church members deserve particular respect and care from the community.

1. sense 1 — In 1 Corinthians 12:23, Paul describes 'unpresentable parts' (Spanish 'indecorosos,' French 'inconvenant') that we treat with special modesty through clothing. The metaphor teaches how churches should value all members: those who seem less honorable deserve greater honor, just as we clothe private body parts with particular care. The argument reverses worldly values—God's design gives special dignity to what seems shameful. 1×
