(αἰδώς G127) aidos is the feeling of innate moral repugnance to doing a dishonorable act. This moral repugnance is not found in aischyne, which is rather the feeling of disgrace which results from doing an unworthy thing, or the fear of such disgrace which serves to prevent its being done. aidos is thus the nobler word, aischyne having regard chiefly to the opinions of others. aidos is the fear of doing a shameful thing, aischyne is chiefly the fear of being found out. "aidos would always restrain a good man from an unworthy act, while aischyne might sometimes restrain a bad one" (Trench). entrope stands somewhat between the other two words in meaning, but in the N. T. leans to the nobler side, indicating that wholesome shame which leads a man to consideration of his condition if it is unworthy, and to a change of conduct for the better. sophrosyne, self- command, may not seem to have much in common with these three words. As a matter of fact, however, it expresses positively that which aidwv expresses negatively.
