- θεοστυγής
- θεοστυγής, ές quotable fr. earlier times only in the pass. sense ‘god-detested’ (Eur., Tro. 1213, Cycl. 396; 602; Soph., Inachus [POxy 2369]; Neophron TrGF I, 2, 4; Ath. 30, 1), then ‘godforsaken’. In the list of vices Ro 1:30 the act. mng. hating God seems preferable (ADebrunner, Griech. Wortbildungslehre, 1917, 52 §105). It is obviously act. in Ps.-Clemens, Hom. 1, 12 ἄδικοι κ. θεοστυγεῖς. The noun θεοστυγία 1 Cl 35:5 is also to be taken as act. In favor of the pass. sense: Goodsp. (‘abhorrent to God’); Mft. (‘loathed by God’); NRSV mg.; Lat. Vulg.; s. Rob 232.—CFritzsche (1836) on Ro 1:30. CCranfield, Ro (ICC) ad loc. (lit.). DELG s.v. στυγέω. TW.
