aidwv is the feeling of innate moral repugnance to doing a
dishonorable act. This moral repugnance is not found in aiscunh,
which is rather the feeling of disgrace which results from doing
an unworthy thing, or the fear of such disgrace which serves to
prevent its being done. aidwv is thus the nobler word, aiscunh
having regard chiefly to the opinions of others. aidwv is the fear
of doing a shameful thing, aiscunh is chiefly the fear of being
found out. "aidwv would always restrain a good man from an
unworthy act, while aiscunh might sometimes restrain a bad one"
(Trench).

entroph stands somewhat between the other two words in meaning,
but in the N.T. leans to the nobler side, indicating that
wholesome shame which leads a man to consideration of his
condition if it is unworthy, and to a change of conduct for the
better.

swfrosunh, self-command, may not seem to have much in common
with these three words. As a matter of fact, however, it expresses
positively that which aidwv expresses negatively.
