(Strong's #2850 — Noun Feminine — kolakia — kol-ak-i'-ah )

akin to kolakeuo, "to flatter," is used in 1 Thessalonians 2:5 of "words of flattery" (RV), adopted as "a cloke of covetousness," i.e., words which "flattery" uses, not simply as an effort to give pleasure, but with motives of self-interest.
