Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐντρέπω. The late metaphorical sense οἵ ἐντρέπομαι ‘am ashamed,” which is found in the NT in 2 Th 315, Tit 25, and survives in MGr, may be illustrated by such passages from the Kowy as P Par 495 (B.c. 164-58) παρακαλέσας αὐτὸν ἀπόστειλον πρὸς ἐμέ, γίνεται yap ἐντραπῆναι, 16. 47. (c. B.C. 153) (= Selections, p. 22) t μὴ μικρόν τι ἐντρέπομαι, οὐκ ἄν pe ἶδες τὸ πρόσωπόν μου πόποτε, ‘but for the fact that I am a little ashamed, you would never have seen my face,” and 2d. 3774 (ii/B.c.) évtpemévtos (for form, see Mayser G7. p. 19) δὲ τοῦ ᾿Αμώσιος. On ἐ. in its middle sense of “πᾶνε respect to” construed with the acc., as in Mk 12%, see Proleg. p. 65, Anz Subsidia, p. 269.
