mépriser - to scorn, despise

Il méprise toute honte et toute confusion, il ne compte pour rien le péché et sa puanteur. Il ose faire en plein soleil ce que d'autres n'oseraient jamais faire.

He scorns all shame and ambiguity, he is good for nothing but sin and its stench.  He dares to do in the light of day that which others never dare to do.
