(Strong's #5244 — Adjective — huperephanos — hoop-er-ay'-fan-os )

signifies "showing oneself above others, preeminent" (huper, "above," phainomai, "to appear, be manifest"); it is always used in Scripture in the bad sense of "arrogant, disdainful, proud," Luke 1:51; Romans 1:30; 2 Timothy 3:2; James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5 .

Note: For the AV renderings of the verb tuphoo, in 1 Timothy 3:6; 6:4; 2 Timothy 3:4 , see HIGHMINDED.
