2 Corinthians 4:2

Dishonesty [τ η ς α ι σ χ υ ν η ς]. Rev., more correctly, shame. Compare Ephesians 5:12.

Craftiness [π α ν ο υ ρ γ ι α]. See on Luke 20:23.

Handling deceitfully [δ ο λ ο υ ν τ ε ς]. Only here in the New Testament. Primarily, to ensnare; then to corrupt. Used of adulterating gold, wine, etc. See on which corrupt, ch. 2 17. This verb has a narrower meaning than the one used there [κ α π η λ ε υ ε ι ν]; for, while that means also to corrupt, it adds the sense for gain's sake. The Vulgate renders both by the same word, adulterantes. Compare Dante :

"Thus did Sabellius, Arias, and those fools Who have been even as swords unto the Scriptures In rendering distorted their straight faces." " Paradiso, " 13, 128 - 130.
