Usage:The term "diabolos" is used in the New Testament to refer to the devil, the chief adversary of God and humanity. It characterizes the devil as a slanderer and accuser, one who opposes God's purposes and deceives humanity. The word is often used to describe the spiritual being who tempts, accuses, and seeks to destroy.

Cultural and Historical Background:In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of evil spirits and adversarial beings was prevalent. The Jewish understanding of Satan as an accuser and adversary is reflected in the New Testament usage of "diabolos." This term emphasizes the devil's role in opposing God's work and leading people away from the truth. The early Christian community understood the devil as a real and personal being who actively works against the followers of Christ.
