High-minded
High-minded
properly means “to wrap in smoke” (from tuphos, “smoke;” metaphorically, for “conceit”); it is used in the Passive Voice, metaphorically in 1Ti 3:6, “puffed up,” RV (AV, “lifted up with pride”); so 1Ti 6:4, AV, “proud,” and 2Ti 3:4, AV, “highminded.” See PROUD, PUFF (up). Cp. tuphomai, “to smoke,” Mat 12:20, and tuphonikos, “tempestuous” (with anemos, “wind,” understood), Act 27:14.
“to be highminded,” is used in 1Ti 6:17.
