Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g5579 Greek: pseudos

Lie (Falsehood: Noun and Verb):

"a falsehood, lie" (see also under LIAR), is translated "lie" in Jhn 8:44 (lit., "the lie"); Rom 1:25, where it stands by metonymy for an idol, as, e.g., in Isa 44:20; Jer 10:14; 13:25; Amo 2:4 (plural); 2Th 2:11, with special reference to the lie of 2Th 2:4, that man is God (cp. Gen 3:5); 1Jo 2:21, 27; Rev 21:27; 22:15; in Eph 4:25, AV "lying," RV, "falsehood," the practice; in Rev 14:5, RV, "lie." (some mss. have dolos, "guile," AV); 2Th 2:9, where "lying wonders" is, lit., "wonders of falsehood," i.e., wonders calculated to deceive (cp. Rev 13:13-15), the purpose being to deceive people into the acknowledgement of the spurious claim to deity on the part of the Man of Sin.

Note: In Rom 1:25 the "lie" or idol is the outcome of pagan religion; in 1Jo 2:21, 22 the "lie" is the denial that Jesus is the Christ; in 2Th 2:11 the "lie" is the claim of the Man of Sin.

A-2 Noun Strong's Number: g5582 Greek: pseusma

Lie (Falsehood: Noun and Verb):

"a falsehood," or "an acted lie," Rom 3:7, where "my lie" is not idolatry, but either the universal false attitude of man toward God or that with which his detractors charged the Apostle; the former seems to be the meaning.

B-1 Adjective Strong's Number: g5573 Greek: pseudologos

Lie (Falsehood: Noun and Verb):

denotes "speaking falsely" (pseudes, "false," logos, "a word") in 1Ti 4:2, where the adjective is translated "that speak lies," RV (AV, "speaking lies") and is applied to "demons," the actual utterances being by their human agents.
