Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from two Greek words: ματαιόω (mataióō), meaning "vain" or "empty," and λόγος (lógos), meaning "word" or "speech."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ματαιολόγος, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that describe vanity or emptiness in speech, such as שָׁוְא (shav', Strong's Hebrew 7723), which means "vain" or "false," often used in the context of falsehood or deceitful speech. Usage: The term ματαιολόγος is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who engage in fruitless or deceptive speech, often leading others astray. It is used to caution against those who speak without substance or truth. Context: The term ματαιολόγος appears in the New Testament in the context of warning against false teachers and those who engage in empty or deceptive speech. In Titus 1:10, the Apostle Paul warns Titus about certain individuals who are "rebellious, full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision." Here, ματαιολόγος is used to describe those who are not only rebellious but also engage in speech that lacks truth and substance, potentially leading others away from sound doctrine.
