Reproach (3680) (oneidismos from oneidizo = to defame, find fault in a way that demeans another [Mt 5:11] <> from oneidos = disgrace, insult, Lk 1:25) is a noun which means reproach, which is an expression of rebuke or disapproval. It means to insult, abuse, disgrace. The idea in some context (Ro 15:3, He 10:33, 11:26, 13:13) is that the insult or reviling represents unjustifiable verbal abuse inflicted on someone. In other contexts it describes justifiable disgrace or reproach (1Ti 3:7) BDAG says oneidismos is an "act of disparagement that results in disgrace, reproach, reviling, disgrace, insult". Oneidismos - 5x in NT - Romans 15:3-note For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached Thee fell upon Me." 1Timothy 3:7 And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he may not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. Hebrews 10:33-note partly, by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated. Hebrews 11:26-note considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward. Hebrews 13:13-note Hence, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. Vine commenting on the reproach of Christ writes... The “reproach of Christ” (not “reproach for Christ”) means Christ’s reproach. That scoffing and mockery which Christ endured, and which His faithful followers still endure, was anticipated by the godly long before Christ became manifested, though they may have dimly foreseen Him. Cp. 1Cor 10:4, “the Rock was Christ.” The Lord said of Moses, “He wrote of Me.” Such reproach was wealth to Moses, far greater than anything Egypt and its royalty could supply. What a lesson for believers today! (Vine, W. Collected writings of W. E. Vine. Nashville: Thomas Nelson or Logos) FOR HE WAS LOOKING TO THE REWARD: apeblepen gar eis tên misthapodosian: RAI: (Regarding rewards study the following passages interrogating with the 5W'S & H - He 11:6-note, Boaz speaking to Ruth the Moabitess = Ruth 2:12-note, Pr 11:18, Mt 5:11, 12-note Mt 5:46-note Mt 6:1-note Mt 10:41, 42 Mk 9:41, Lk 6:22, 23, 35, Luke 14:13, 14, 2Jn 1:8,1Cor 3:11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 2Cor 5:9, 10, 1Co 4:5, Mt 25:35,40; Heb 6:10-note ) Looking to the reward - He could not yet see the reward, but he believed God was true to His Word. And so Moses looked with eyes of faith at the faithfulness of God and His immutable promises and he acted accordingly for as Lawrence Richards says... Faith transforms our values and shapes our choices. This "faith chapter" in Moses' life reminds one of Jesus' words for how to live faithfully in this life as we await the life to come... Do not lay up for yourselves (present imperative + a negative = Command to stop doing this or do not start doing this!) treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up (present imperative = Command to make this your lifestyle, not just at the end of the tax year!!!) for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Mt 6:19, 20, 21-note) Paul had this "future focus" mindset as evidenced by his reminder to the Corinthian saints... Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
