 alazwn is properly a boaster, who tells great things
 concerning his own prowess and achievements, with the implied idea
 that many of his claims are false. This word naturally describes a
 trait which manifests itself in contact with one's fellow men, not one
 which exists simply within the heart.

 uperhfanov describes one who thinks too highly of himself,
 describing a trait which is simply internal, not referring primarily
 to external manifestation, although this is implied. It means one who
 is proud, the external manifestation when it appears being in the
 form of arrogance in dealing with others.

 upristhv describes one who delights in insolent wrong-doing
 toward others, finds pleasure in such acts. Cruelty and lust are two
 of the many forms which this quality assumes. These three words occur
 together in #Ro 1:30.  They are never used in a good sense. They
 may be said to move in a certain sense in an ascending scale of guilt,
 designating respectively "the boastful in words, the proud and
 overbearing in thoughts, the insolent and injurious in acts"
 (Cremer).
