δόλος G1388
Deceit, guile, cunning — deliberate deception or treachery employed to mislead or harm
The noun δόλος (dolos) denotes deliberate deception or craftiness used to injure someone. The chief priests seek to arrest Jesus 'by deceit' (Matt 26:4; Mark 14:1), and Elymas is denounced as 'full of all deceit' (Acts 13:10). Positively, its absence marks integrity: Nathanael is one 'in whom there is no deceit' (John 1:47), and Christ had 'no deceit' in his mouth (1 Pet 2:22). The word also appears in vice lists (Mark 7:22; Rom 1:29; 1 Pet 2:1). Spanish 'engano,' French 'ruse,' and German 'List' convey the scheming quality.
