KJV used naughtiness to mean viciousness or wickedness (1 Samuel 17:28; Proverbs 11:6; James 1:21 ). In modern English naughtiness indicates disobedience, misbehavior, or mischievousness. Modern translations thus replace naughtiness with terms such as evil, greed, or wickedness to reflect the seriousness of the sin.
