Usage: The verb δολιόω is used in the context of deceitful actions or intentions, often implying a deliberate attempt to mislead or trick others.

Context: The Greek verb δολιόω appears in the New Testament to describe actions characterized by deceit or treachery. It is associated with behaviors that are contrary to the truth and integrity expected of believers. The term is often used to highlight the moral and ethical failings of individuals who choose to act with guile and cunning, rather than honesty and transparency.

In the New Testament, δολιόω is used to describe the actions of those who seek to deceive others for personal gain or to achieve a particular end. This deceit can manifest in various forms, including false teachings, misleading statements, or hypocritical behavior. The use of δολιόω serves as a warning to believers to be vigilant against such deceit and to uphold the truth in their own lives.

The concept of deceit is consistently condemned throughout Scripture, as it stands in opposition to the character of God, who is described as truthful and faithful. Believers are called to emulate God's character by speaking the truth in love and avoiding any form of deceitful conduct.
