It often characterizes individuals or statements that are deceitful or misleading. In the New Testament, it is used to warn against falsehood and to highlight the importance of truthfulness in the life of a believer.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, truth and falsehood were significant moral and philosophical concerns. The early Christian community, emerging in this context, emphasized truth as a reflection of God's character. The concept of falsehood was not only a moral failing but also a spiritual danger, as it was associated with the influence of Satan, the "father of lies" (John 8:44).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5574.htm">pseudomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>lying, false<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>false (2), liars (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 5571: ψευδής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ψευδής</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ψευδές</span> (<span class="greek2">ψεύδομαι</span>), from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, Iliad4, 235 down, <span class="accented">lying, deceitful, false</span>: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/2-2.htm">Revelation 2:2</a>; <span class="greek2">μάρτυρες</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/6-13.htm">Acts 6:13</a>; substantively <span class="greek2">οἱ</span> <span class="greek2">ψευδεῖς</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
