Strong's Lexicon planos: Deceiver, misleading, seducer Original Word: πλάνος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: planos Pronunciation: PLAH-nos Phonetic Spelling: (plan'-os) Definition: Deceiver, misleading, seducer Meaning: adj: misleading, deceiving, wandering; as subst: a deceiver, imposter. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb πλανάω (planaō), meaning "to lead astray" or "to deceive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "planos," the concept of deception is present in Hebrew scriptures, often associated with words like רָמָה (ramah - to deceive) and שָׁקַר (shakar - to lie). Usage: The term "planos" is used in the New Testament to describe someone who leads others astray or is deceptive in nature. It conveys the idea of being a wanderer or one who causes others to wander from the truth. In a biblical context, it often refers to false teachers or prophets who mislead believers away from sound doctrine. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of deception was significant, as truth and honor were highly valued in both personal and public life. The early Christian community was particularly concerned with false teachings and heresies that could lead believers away from the core tenets of the faith. The use of "planos" in the New Testament reflects the early church's vigilance against such threats.
