Exegesis
The purpose construction pros entropēn hymin lalō {πρὸς ἐντροπὴν ὑμῖν λαλῶ | prós en-tro-pḕn hy-mîn la-lô} employs pros with the accusative to indicate that Paul speaks with the aim of producing shame. In translation, the imperatives are rendered as direct commands, gar is consistently translated ‘for’, and the purpose nuance of pros is conveyed by ‘to your shame’ and ‘to make you ashamed’, preserving the exhortative and corrective force of the original.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:34
Sober up rightly, and do not sin; for some have ignorance of God ; I say this to your shame .
