Deceiver

is, properly, an adjective, signifying "wandering, or leading astray, seducing," 1—Timothy 4:1 , "seducing (spirits);" used as a noun, it denotes an impostor of the vagabond type, and so any kind of "deceiver" or corrupter, Matthew 27:63; 2—Corinthians 6:8; 2—John 1:7 (twice), in the last of which the accompanying definite article necessitates the translation "the deceiver," RV. See SEDUCE.

akin to C, No. 3, under DECEIVE, lit., "a mind-deceiver," is used in Titus 1:10 .
