λοίδορ-ος G3060
a verbal abuser, reviler, or one who habitually uses insulting and contemptuous speech
Someone characterized by abusive, insulting speech—a reviler who regularly tears others down with words. Paul lists this character type twice in 1 Corinthians 5-6, among those who shouldn't be tolerated in the church or who won't inherit God's kingdom. The Greek emphasizes the habitual nature: not someone who spoke harshly once, but someone whose speech pattern is abusive. It's paired with drunkards, swindlers, and sexually immoral people, suggesting verbal abuse ranks among serious destructive behaviors.

1. sense 1 — Paul's parallel usage in 1 Corinthians 5:11 and 6:10 treats verbal abuse as disqualifying behavior both for church fellowship and for the kingdom. The lexicon notes this describes someone habitually railing and abusive, with classical attestation going back to the 4th century BC. Spanish, French, and German (maldiciente, calomniateur, Lästerer) all capture the slanderous, contemptuous quality. The seriousness with which Paul treats speech patterns reflects biblical wisdom about the tongue's power. 2×
