ὑψηλο-φρονέω G5309
To be high-minded, think arrogantly; to have a proud, haughty attitude focused on earthly advantages
This compound verb combines 'high' with 'think' to mean being high-minded or arrogant, thinking too highly of oneself, especially because of wealth or status. In 1 Timothy 6:17, Paul instructs the rich 'not to be high-minded' or to set their hope on uncertain riches but on God. Wealth tempts people to arrogance and self-sufficiency, forgetting dependence on God. The verb warns against the proud mentality that riches foster. Translations use 'high-minded,' 'arrogant,' or 'haughty.'

1. sense 1 — In 1 Tim 6:17, Paul charges Timothy to instruct the wealthy: 'not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God.' The infinitive describes the arrogant attitude (Spanish 'ser altivos,' to be haughty; German 'hochmütig sein,' to be high-minded) that wealth breeds—thinking oneself superior, self-sufficient, above others. Riches tempt people to trust in themselves and their resources rather than God. Paul's command combats this pride by redirecting trust from uncertain wealth to the faithful God. 1×
