(G5908 OLB) Synonyms for Bad, Evil: kakos (κακός G2556), poneros (πονηρός G4190), phaulos (φαῦλος G5337).

These words may be used with very little distinction of meaning, but often the difference is marked. (κακός G2556) kakos frequently means evil rather negatively, referring to the absence of the qualities which constitute a person or thing what it should be or what it claims to be. It is also used meaning evil in a moral sense. It is a general antithesis to agathos. poneros is a word at once stronger and more active, it means mischief- making, delighting in injury, doing evil to others, dangerous, destructive. kakos describes the quality according to its nature, poneros, according to its effects. phaulos is the bad chiefly as the worthless, the good for nothing.
