1. be ashamed of, feel shame — To feel shame, embarrassment, or dishonor regarding something or someone; encompasses both the state of being ashamed and the action of being ashamed of a person, message, or way of life. Used of Paul not being ashamed of the gospel (Rom 1:16; 2 Tim 1:12), of Christ being ashamed of unfaithful disciples (Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26), of believers ashamed of past sins (Rom 6:21), of God not being ashamed to be called their God (Heb 2:11; 11:16), and of Onesiphorus not being ashamed of Paul's chains (2 Tim 1:8, 16). All multilingual glosses uniformly render 'be ashamed / have shame' (arb: يَسْتَحي, deu: sich schaemen, fra: avoir honte, heb: בוש/התבייש, kor: 부끄러워하다, spa: avergonzarse), confirming a single lexical sense with inflectional variation only. 11×
