<div> '''1: '''''Κακός''''' ''' (Strong'S #2556 — Adjective — kakos — kak-os' ) </div> <p> indicates the lack in a person or thing of those qualities which should be possessed; it means "bad in character" (a) morally, by way of thinking, feeling or acting, e.g., &nbsp;Mark 7:21 , "thoughts;" &nbsp;1—Corinthians 15:33 , "company;" &nbsp;Colossians 3:5 , "desire;" &nbsp;1—Timothy 6:10 , "all kinds of evil;" &nbsp;1—Peter 3:9 , "evil for evil;" (b) in the sense of what is injurious or baneful, e.g., the tongue as "a restless evil," &nbsp;James 3:8; "evil beasts," &nbsp;Titus 1:12; "harm," &nbsp;Acts 16:28; once it is translated "bad," &nbsp;2—Corinthians 5:10 . It is the opposite of agathos, "good." See [[Evil]] , [[Harm]] , [[Ill]] , [[Noisome]] , Wicked. </p> <div> '''2: '''''Πονηρός''''' ''' (Strong'S #4190 — Adjective — poneros — pon-ay-ros' ) </div> <p> connected with ponos, "labor," expresses especially the "active form of evil," and is practically the same in meaning as (b), under No. 1. It is used, e.g., of thoughts, &nbsp;Matthew 15:19 (cp. kakos, in &nbsp; Mark 7:21 ); of speech, &nbsp;Matthew 5:11 (cp. kakos, in &nbsp; 1—Peter 3:10 ); of acts, &nbsp;2—Timothy 4:18 . Where kakos and poneros are put together, kakos is always put first and signifies "bad in character, base," poneros, "bad in effect, malignant:" see &nbsp;1—Corinthians 5:8 , and &nbsp;Revelation 16:2 . Kakos has a wider meaning, poneros a stronger meaning. Poneros alone is used of Satan and might well be translated "the malignant one," e.g., &nbsp;Matthew 5:37 and five times in 1John (&nbsp; 1—John 2:13-14; &nbsp;3:12; &nbsp;5:18,19 , RV); of demons, e.g., &nbsp;Luke 7:21 . Once it is translated "bad," &nbsp;Matthew 22:10 .

It is said of a tree and its fruit, &nbsp;Matthew 7:17,18; &nbsp;12:33; &nbsp;Luke 6:43; of certain fish, &nbsp;Matthew 13:48 (here translated "bad"); of defiling speech, &nbsp; Ephesians 4:29 .
