Thayer's Expanded Definition

κακία, κακίας, (κακός) (from Theognis down), the Sept. chiefly for רַע , and רָעָה;

1. malignity, malice, ill-will, desire to injure: Romans 1:29; Ephesians 4:31; Colossians 3:8; Titus 3:3; James 1:21; 1 Peter 2:1.

2. wickedness, depravity: 1 Corinthians 5:8 (cf. Winer's Grammar, 120 (114)); ; Acts 8:22 (cf. ); wickedness that is not ashamed to break the laws, 1 Peter 2:16.

3. Hellenistically, evil, trouble: Matthew 6:34 (as Amos 3:6; (1 Samuel 6:9); Ecclesiastes 7:15 (); ; Sir. 19:6; 1 Macc. 7:23, etc.). [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 εἰ μέν αὐτός (i. e. Σωκράτης) ἐποίει τί φαῦλον, εἰκότως ἄν ἐδόκει πονηρός εἶναι. Αἰ δ' αὐτός σωφρονων διετελει, πῶς ἄν δικαίως τῆς οὐκ ἐνούσης αὐτῷ κακίας αἰτίαν ἔχοι; 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. Ἔστιν τοῦ κακῶσαι τόν πέλας σπουδή, παρά τῷ ἀποστόλω; see πονηρός, 2 b.]

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

κακία is used in P Petr II. 23(1).9 (Ptol.) ἰδ [ ]ντες τὴν κακίαν τῶν ἡμῶν, apparently of the damage done to a crop of rye and barley by hail (?) : cf. P Flor II. 176.11 (A.D. 256) ἐκ τῆς τῶν σύκων κακίας. In P Petr II. 19(2).5 (Ptol.) διὰ τὴν ἐν [εστ ]ῶσαν ? κακίαν, the reference is to the ";idleness"; of certain workmen. For the stronger meaning ";malice,"; ";wickedness,"; see P Rein 7.15 (B.C. 141 ?) διὰ πάση ]ς ̣ ἡσυχίας εἶχον τῶι μηδεμίαν ἔννοιαν [κ ]ακίας ἔχειν, ";je restai complètement tranquille, n’ayant aucun soupçon qu’il me cherchât malice"; (Ed.), P Oxy VIII. 1101.7 (A.D. 367–70) εἴτε ὑπὸ κακίας ἢ καὶ ὑπὸ κακο [βουλεία ]ς τῆς πρ [ο ]αιρέσεως, ";whether from malice or from perversity of judgment"; (Ed.); also Preisigke 4127.6 ἀλότριον ἐμαυτὸν ἐποιησάμην πάσης κακείας καὶ πάσ [ης. . . ]οτος καὶ ἁγνεύσας ἐς πολὺν χρόν [ον. The special usage in Matthew 6:34 is supported by the LXX, where κακία frequently translates Heb. רָעָה in the sense of ";trouble,"; ";evil circumstances"; : cf. Kennedy Sources, p. 100.
