Strong's Lexicon phrenapatés: Deceiver, seducer Original Word: φρεναπατής Word Origin: From φρήν (phrēn, meaning "mind") and ἀπατάω (apataō, meaning "to deceive") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "phrenapatés," similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like רָמָה (ramah, Strong's H7411) meaning "to deceive" or "to beguile," and שָׁקַר (shakar, Strong's H8266) meaning "to lie" or "to deal falsely." Usage: The term "phrenapatés" refers to someone who misleads or deceives others, particularly in a way that affects their mind or understanding. It is used to describe individuals who lead others astray through false teachings or deceptive practices. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the mind (phrēn) was considered the seat of understanding and rational thought. Deception (apataō) was a significant concern, especially in philosophical and religious contexts, where false teachers could easily mislead the uneducated or unwary. The early Christian community was particularly vigilant against such deceivers, as they posed a threat to the purity of the Gospel message and the spiritual well-being of believers.
