Shamefastness

sham’-fast-nes: The original the [[King James Version]] translation of aidos, in Sirach 41:16 and 1Ti 2:9. Perhaps half a century later the spelling "shamefacedness" supplanted the better form, and continues in the ordinary editions of the King James Version. The [[Revised Version]] (British and American), however, rightly restores "shamefastness."
