Mark 8:38

Those who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels

From Background Notes [BN] for August 24^th & 25^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

In honor/shame-based culture, people are expected to show reasonable sensitivity to their own reputations and to the opinions of others. Such sensitivity is actually a favorable value; to have shame means this kind of sensitivity.

 

Having this attitude makes possible human dignity by following the rules of social interaction. A person without shame ignores such rules, leading to dishonor and loss of reputation. The shameless person transgresses all the recommended boundaries and becomes literally a fool in the eyes of others. [BN,7]
