τῑμ-ή G5092
Honor, esteem, respect; also price or monetary value in commercial contexts.
Carries a primary sense of honor, worth, and social esteem ascribed to persons, offices, or things. Paul employs it to describe the honor God bestows (Rom 2:7, 10) and the differing honor of vessels (Rom 9:21; 2 Tim 2:20). Peter speaks of the 'honor' due to Christ as living stone (1 Pet 2:7). A clearly distinct secondary sense denotes monetary price or commercial value, as in the blood money returned for Jesus (Matt 27:6, 9) and the proceeds from property sales in the early church (Acts 4:34; 5:2-3). Spanish precio versus honor and English 'price' versus 'honor' make this split unmistakable across the witness languages.
1. honor, esteem, respect — Honor, esteem, worth, or respect ascribed to a person, office, or thing. The primary and most frequent sense (33 occurrences). Multilingual evidence uniformly renders this as honor/honra (Spanish), honneur (French), Ehre (German). Used of honor due to God and Christ (1 Tim 1:17; Rev 4:9), the honor believers seek (Rom 2:7), honor within the body of Christ (1 Cor 12:23-24), and the prophet without honor (John 4:44). 33×

2. price, monetary value, proceeds — Monetary price, commercial value, or purchase proceeds. Clearly distinguished from the honor sense by multilingual signatures: Spanish precio, English 'price/for a price,' while French and German sometimes retain the 'honor' rendering, revealing a translational ambiguity. The blood money for Jesus' betrayal (Matt 27:6, 9), the proceeds laid at the apostles' feet (Acts 4:34; 5:2-3), and Paul's exhortation that believers were 'bought with a price' (1 Cor 6:20; 7:23) anchor this commercial usage. 9×
