A — 1: πανουργία

(Strong's #3834 — Noun Feminine — panourgia — pan-oorg-ee'-ah )

lit., "all-working," i.e., doing everything (pan, "all," ergon, "work"), hence, "unscrupulous conduct, craftiness," is always used in a bad sense in the NT, Luke 20:23; 1 Corinthians 3:19; 2 Corinthians 4:2; 11:3; Ephesians 4:14 , AV, "cunning craftiness." See SUBTLETY. In the Sept. it is used in a good sense, Proverbs 1:4; 8:5; indifferently in Numbers 24:22; Joshua 9:4 .

(Strong's #3835 — Adjective — panourgos — pan-oor'-gos )

"cunning, crafty," is found in 2 Corinthians 12:16 , where the Apostle is really quoting an accusation made against him by his detractors. In the Sept. it is used in a good sense in Proverbs 13:1; 28:2 .

C — 1: δόλος

(Strong's #1388 — Noun Masculine — dolos — dol'-os )
