1 | Strong's Number: g5272 | Greek: hupokrisis |
Hypocrisy:
primarily denotes "a reply, an answer" (akin to hupokrinomai, "to answer"); then, "play-acting," as the actors spoke in dialogue; hence, "pretence, hypocrisy;" it is translated "hypocrisy" in Mat 23:28; Mar 12:15; Luk 12:1; 1Ti 4:2; the plural in 1Pe 2:1. For Gal 2:13 and anupokritos, "without hypocrisy," in Jam 3:17, see DISSIMULATION.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
