         Comments: In {S:05900200200034} the emphasis of ῥυπαρός is not upon clothes being ragged as one might expect in the case of a poor man, but upon the clothes being filthy and thus the basis for greater offense and avoidance.

         DefinitionShort: pertaining to being morally impure or filthy

         Glosses: ['morally impure', 'morally filthy', 'morally perverted']

         Comments: It would be a mistake to assume that physical filth is necessarily related to moral impurity. Hence, one cannot simply take a word meaning ‘dirty’ and presume that it may carry the figurative significance of moral depravity or impurity. The equivalent in some languages is ‘moral degenerate,’ ‘stained with badness,’ ‘spotted with evil,’ or ‘has sin on him like leprous spots.’
