         DefinitionShort: the quality of humility

         Glosses: ['humble attitude', 'humility', 'without arrogance']

         Comments: The rendering of ταπεινοφροσύνη in {S:05100201800012} as ‘false humility’ is justified in terms of the context, but there is nothing in the word ταπεινοφροσύνη itself which means ‘false.’ It would be possible to render ταπεινοφροσύνη in {S:05100201800012} as ‘subjection to,’ and one might render the entire expression as ‘in abject worship of angels.’ In other languages ‘false humility’ may be rendered as ‘just pretending to be humble’ or ‘appearing to be humble but really being proud.’
