To reproach someone means to criticize or disapprove of that person's character or behavior. A reproach is the negative comment about the person.
* Saying that a person is "above reproach" or "beyond reproach" or "without reproach" means that this person behaves in a God-honoring way and there is little or nothing that could be said in criticism of him.
* The word "reproach" could also be translated as "accusation" or "shame" or "disgrace."
* To "reproach" could also be translated as to "rebuke" or to "accuse" or to "criticize," depending on the context.
