Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "diplous," the concept of duplicity or double-mindedness can be related to Hebrew terms like "פָּתָה" (pathah, Strong's H6601), which can imply being simple or naive, often with a connotation of being easily led astray.

Usage: The Greek adjective "diplous" is used to describe something that is twofold or double in nature. In the context of the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of duplicity or a dual aspect, whether in terms of quantity, quality, or moral character.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "double" could refer to various aspects, such as double portions, double honor, or even double-mindedness. The idea of duplicity was significant in moral and ethical discussions, as it often implied a lack of sincerity or integrity. In the Greco-Roman world, being "double-tongued" or "double-minded" was seen as a negative trait, reflecting inconsistency or deceit.
