Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὑπερηφανία. For the sense ‘‘haughtiness,” ‘‘ arrogance,” as in Mk 722, cf. Aristeas 262 πῶς ἂν μὴ τραπείη tis εἰς ὑπερηφανίαν ; ‘“how should one keep oneself from pride?”, and 24. 269. The verb is similarly used in P Flor III. 367% (iii/a.p.) πλούτῳ γαυρωθεὶς [Kai] πολλῇ χρημάτων περιουσίᾳ ὑπίερη]φανεῖς τοὺς φίλους, but has a weakened sense in P Oxy NIV. 1676%° (iii/A.D.) ἀλλὰ πάντως κρείττονα εἶχες" διὰ τοῦτο ὑπερηφάνηκας ἡμᾶς, ‘‘but you doubtless had better things to do; that was why you neglected us” (Edd.). See also the intrans. use of the verb in BGU I. 4815 (iii/A.D.) ἐὰν ἀναβῇς τῃ ἑορτῇ, ἵνα ὁμόσε γενώμεθα, καὶ μὴ ὑπερηφανήσῃς.
