These terms highlight the biblical emphasis on the importance of respectful and edifying speech throughout both the Old and New Testaments. Usage: The word "loidóros" is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who are characterized by abusive or slanderous speech. It appears in contexts that warn against such behavior and highlight the moral and ethical standards expected of believers. Context: The term "loidóros" is found in the New Testament, specifically in the Pauline epistles, where it is used to describe individuals who engage in harmful and abusive speech. In 1 Corinthians 5:11, the Apostle Paul instructs the church in Corinth not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral, greedy, an idolater, a reviler (loidóros), a drunkard, or a swindler. This passage underscores the seriousness with which the early Christian community viewed verbal abuse, placing it alongside other significant moral failings.
