Through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies (en hupokrisei pseudologōn). For hupokrisis, see note on Gal 2:13. Pseudologos (pseudēs, legō) Koiné[28928]š word from Aristophanes on. Here only in N.T. “A good classical word for liars on a large scale” (Parry).

Branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron (kekaustēriasmenōn tēn idian suneidēsin). Accusative case suneidēsin retained with the perfect passive participle of kaustēriazō, a rare verb only here and once in Strabo. Branded with the mark of Satan (2Ti 2:26) as Paul was with the marks of Christ (Gal 6:17). Agreeing in case with pseudologōn.
