It conveys the idea of being underhanded or insidious, often with the intent to deceive or mislead others. In the New Testament, it is used to characterize individuals or actions that are morally corrupt and lacking in integrity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, deceit and treachery were often condemned in philosophical and ethical teachings. The concept of "δόλιος" would have been understood as contrary to the virtues of honesty and integrity, which were highly valued in both Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures. The use of this term in the New Testament reflects a moral standard that aligns with the broader biblical condemnation of deceit and falsehood.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 1386</b> <i>dólios</i> – deceitful – advertising the bait and concealing the hook! <a href="/greek/1388.htm">See 1388</a> (<i>dolos</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1388.htm">dolos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>deceitful<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>deceitful (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1386: δόλιος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">δόλιος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">δόλια</span>, <span class="greek2">δόλιον</span> (<span class="greek2">δόλος</span>);
