Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]

1: Ὑπερήφανος (Strong'S #5244 — Adjective — huperephanos — hoop-er-ay'-fan-os )

"showing oneself above others" (huper, "over," phainomai, "to appear"), though often denoting preeminent, is always used in the NT in the evil sense of "arrogant, disdainful, haughty;" it is rendered "haughty" in  Romans 1:30;  2—Timothy 3:2 , RV, AV, "proud," but "proud" in both versions in  Luke 1:51;  James 4:6;  1—Peter 5:5; in the last two it is set in opposition to tapeinos, "humble, lowly." Cp. the noun huperephania,  Mark 7:22 , "pride."
