Acts 13:10

and said, "O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?

1. Paul does not "pull any punches" here. In clear, unmistakable terms Paul declares that this man is:

1. Full of deceit - The Greek word means "craft, deceit, subtlety, guile"

2. Fraud - Thayer explains this word - "unscrupulous, cunning, mischief"

3. Son of the devil - This phrase could mean he is a child of Satan, or "metaphorically applied to a man who, by opposing the cause of God, may be said to act the part of the devil or to side with him"

4. Enemy of all righteousness - He stands in opposition to all that is righteous.

5. Perverting the way of the Lord - He is seeking to distort and turn aside the will and command of God.

2. Was Paul "judging" this man? NO. Paul was expressing the heart and soul of this wicked man.
