Dolos denotes deceptive conduct or intent, whether named as a vice, denied of a person, or used in a scheme.

The attested use consistently concerns deceptive conduct or intent: it is listed among harmful qualities, denied of certain people or speech, and named as the means contemplated in seizing someone or alleged in dealing with others.

1. Deceptive conduct, speech, or intent · dominant

   The term names a harmful quality in lists and character descriptions: in Acts 13:10 the APB renders a person as “full of all deceit,” while in 1 Peter 2:22 it says that none “was found in his mouth.” It also occurs in acts or plans of deception: in Matthew 26:4 the APB renders the plot to seize Jesus “by deceit,” and in 1 Peter 3:10 it speaks of lips “speaking deceit.”

   Acts 13:101 Peter 2:22Matthew 26:41 Peter 3:10Mark 14:11 Thessalonians 2:3

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the clause with “deceit,” including lists of vices, speech, and a means of seizing someone; it also uses “crafty” alongside “by deceit” in 2 Corinthians 12:16. Since the APB is a whole-verse translation, these English expressions confirm the clauses' overall presentation without assigning each wording mechanically to the term.
