error, delusion, going astray; deception, deliberate deceit
1. error, delusion, going astray — A state of wandering from the truth, being in error or delusion; the condition of holding false beliefs or following a wrong path, whether in doctrine or morality. Used of the 'error of Balaam' (Jude 11), 'the spirit of error' (1 John 4:6), and 'error of the lawless' (2 Pet 3:17). Multilingual evidence is unified: Spanish 'error' / 'de error' (error / of error), Hindi 'bhram' / 'bhatakaav' (delusion / wandering astray), Arabic 'dalaal' / 'dalaalin' (going astray, deviance from truth), Korean 'mihok' / 'mihok ui' (deception, being led astray), Swahili 'upotovu' / 'upotevu' / 'ya upotovu' (corruption, going astray). S74918 'of delusion' is simply the genitive case of the same concept, not a distinct sense. 9×

2. deception, deliberate deceit — Active, intentional deception or trickery; the willful act of deceiving others rather than the passive state of being in error. The multilingual translations reveal a subtle but real distinction: Spanish 'engano' (deception, fraud — active deceit) vs. 'error' (mistake, being wrong), Hindi 'dhokha' (cheating, fraud, deliberate trickery) vs. 'bhram' (delusion, confusion), Arabic 'ad-dalaalatu' (the leading astray, with the definite article suggesting an active force), Korean 'sogim i' (deception, trickery — the act of deceiving) vs. 'mihok' (being misled), Swahili 'udanganyifu' (deceitfulness, fraudulence) vs. 'upotovu' (corruption, going astray). This single occurrence (Rom 1:27 or similar) captures the active perpetration of deceit. 1×
