παραλογ-ίζομαι G3884
to deceive by false reasoning, defraud, mislead; to cheat through fallacious argument
This verb means to deceive, cheat, or mislead—especially through false reasoning or fallacious arguments. Classical usage includes both financial fraud (cheating in accounts) and intellectual deception (misleading through sophistry). The middle voice emphasizes the deceptive effect on oneself or others. Both New Testament uses warn against self-deception or being deceived. Colossians 2:4 warns against being deceived by persuasive arguments. James 1:22 warns against deceiving oneself by hearing without doing. The word captures both intellectual fraud and the resulting delusion.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Colossians 2:4 uses a present middle subjunctive ('may deceive'), warning against persuasive false teaching. James 1:22 uses a middle participle ('deceiving'), warning against self-deception. The multilingual glosses emphasize the deceptive action: English 'deceiving, may-deceive,' Spanish 'engañe, engañándoos,' German 'betruegen.' Both uses involve reasoning that leads astray—whether external sophistry or internal rationalization. The verb identifies the process of being led into error through plausible but false argument, resulting in dangerous delusion about one's true condition. 2×
