Thayer). - In Scripture, [[G5012]] /tapeinophrosýnē ("lowliness, humility") is an inside-out virtue produced by comparing ourselves to the Lord (rather than to others). This brings behavior into alignment with this inner revelation to keep one from being self-exalting (self-determining, self-inflated). For the believer, [[G5012]] /tapeinophrosýnē ("humility") means living in complete dependence on the Lord, i.e. with no reliance on self (the flesh). - [[G5012]] (tapeinophrosýnē) is atypically used of false humility in [[Colossians_02|Colossians 2.18,23]]. --- ## Blue Letter Bible - Outline - --- ## Blue Letter Bible - Strong's Definition - --- ## Blue Letter Bible - Vines - --- ## Transliteration Details - --- ## Date - Initial - 2020.03.11 - Revised - 2023.05.09 - 2023.09.26 ---
