A-1 | Noun | Strong's Number: g5272 | Greek: hupokrisis |
Dissimulation, Dissemble:
primarily, "a reply," came to mean "the acting of a stage-player," because such answered one another in dialogue; hence the meaning "dissembling or pretense." It is translated "dissimulation" in Gal 2:13 (see B).
See HYPOCRISY.
B-1 | Verb | Strong's Number: g4942 | Greek: sunupokrinomai |
Dissimulation, Dissemble:
sun, "with," hupokrinomai, akin to A, "to join in acting the hypocrite," in pretending to act from one motive, whereas another motive really inspires the act.
