In sermons (one-sided arguments not subject to cross-examination), some pastors "conceal" by cherry picking verses that support their "opinion" or "glory", omitting other verses for the purposes of "escaping detection" all for the "joy of deception" - which could be a reflexive self-deception.

The ancient Greek word "σφάλμα" ≈ "fall, be cast down" which comes from the ancient Greek word "σφάλλω" ≈ "topple, be foiled". The modern Greek word "σφάλμα" (SFAL-ma) ≈ "error, fault".
A possible connection is the Latin word "fallo" ≈ "deceive, trick" which is the source of the English word "fail" and the German word "fehlen" ≈ "weak, lacking".
