Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀνεπαίσχυντος. Josephus (Avsff. xviii. 243 μηδὲ δευτερεύειν ἀνεπαίσχυνTov ἡγοῦ, cited by Thayer) did not borrow this from his earlier contemporary, the writer of 2 Tim 2'5; but a word can hardly be called a coinage which only involves putting un- before an existing word (cf. αἰσχυντικός).

Not...ashamed (422) anepaischuntos

Not...ashamed (422) (anepaischuntos from a = without + epaischúnomai = be ashamed) describes the absence of a painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety. The diligent workman who handles the Word rightly is irreprehensible (blameless) Diligence in handling the Word now prevents one from one day having to stand before God and experience the painful feeling arising from the consciousness of having done something dishonorable with the Word of Truth. Let us always seek to Be Bereans - Acts 17:11. I want among the victor throng Someday to have my name confessed; And hear my Master say at last, "You stand approved, you did your best!" —Simpson The diligent workman has no cause for shame and is not liable to be put to shame when his work is inspected. Application: Could I challenge you to consider measuring all your thoughts, words and deeds by the phrase... "A workman who does not need to be ashamed." HANDLING ACCURATELY: orthotomounta (PAPMSA): (Mt 13:52; Mk 4:33; Lk 12:42; Jn 21:15, 16, 17; Acts 20:27; 1Co 2:6; 3:1,2; 2Co 4:2; 1Thes 5:14; Heb 5:11, 12, 13, 14) "Copy and paste the address below into your web browser in order to go to the original page which will allow you to access live links related to the material on this page - these links include Scriptures (which can be read in context), Scripture pop-ups on mouse over, and a variety of related resources such as Bible dictionary articles, commentaries, sermon notes and theological journal articles related to the topic under discussion." http://www.preceptaustin.org/2_timothy_215-19.htm#not
