[SYNONYMS:κακία, πονηρία: associated Romans 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:8. According to Trench, Synonyms, § xi., endorsed by Ellicott (on Ephesians 4:31) and Lightfoot (on Colossians 3:8), κακία denotes rather the vicious disposition, πονηρία the active exercise of the same; cf. Xenophon, mem. 1, 2, 28 εἰμέναὐτός (i. e. Σωκράτης) ἐποίειτίφαῦλον, εἰκότωςἄνἐδόκειπονηρόςεἶναι. Αἰδ'αὐτόςσωφρονωνδιετελει, πῶςἄνδικαίωςτῆςοὐκἐνούσηςαὐτῷκακίαςαἰτίανἔχοι; But Fritzsche, Meyer (on Romans, the passage cited; yet cf. Weiss in edition 6), others dissent — seeming nearly to reverse this distinction; cf. Suidas under the word κακία. Ἔστινἡτοῦκακῶσαιτόνπέλαςσπουδή, παράτῷἀποστόλω; see πονηρός, 2 b.]
