ψευδ-απόστολος G5570
false apostle, fraudulent messenger claiming apostolic authority
A compound term describing someone who falsely claims to be an apostle—a deceptive religious figure who assumes apostolic authority without genuine divine commission. Paul uses this sharp designation in 2 Corinthians 11:13 to denounce opponents in Corinth who masqueraded as Christ's emissaries. The multilingual glosses (English 'false-apostles', Spanish 'falsos-apóstoles', French 'faux-apôtre') preserve the compound structure, emphasizing both the counterfeit nature and the specific office being falsely claimed.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — One who fraudulently presents themselves as an apostle of Christ. In 2 Corinthians 11:13, Paul unmasks such figures as 'deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ,' warning the Corinthian church against accepting unauthorized teachers who exploit apostolic credibility for their own gain. 1×
