ἐπάρας
epaírō
lifting up
To lift or raise up, either physically (e.g., raising an object or one's voice) or figuratively (e.g., elevating oneself in pride or status). The verb carries both a straightforward, literal sense as well as extended metaphorical connotations in context, such as being lifted up with pride or having one's spirits or status elevated. In the New Testament, it most commonly refers to a physical raising (such as lifting one's eyes or voice), but can also convey figurative senses of being puffed up or exalted.
