    • 1861, John Eadie, A Commentary on the Greek Text of the Epistle of Paul:
      Quite foreign to the thought is the opinion of Hofmann, that as a man declares his will to make a woman his wife by a word or declaration, and so takes her from the unhonour of her maiden condition, so has Christ done to the church.
    • 1923, Ghulam Rassul Galwan, Servant of Sahibs:
      Razak Akhun, and other Ladaki, and I abuse to Kalam Rassul, and we said: "We all men will beat you for this, which you made unhonor to our sahib before Tibetan." He begged pardon to us for this matter.
    • 2009, James Fenimore Cooper, The Pathfinder:
      There is honor in doing what's right, and unhonor in doing what's wrong; and I think it wrong to take the life even of a Mingo, without a useful end in view, I do; and right to hear reason at all times.
