G4192; hurtful, i.e. evil (properly, in effect or influence, and thus differing from
G2556, which refers rather to essential character, as well as from
G4550, which indicates degeneracy from original virtue); figuratively, calamitous; also (passively) ill, i.e. diseased; but especially (morally) culpable, i.e. derelict, vicious, facinorous; neuter (singular) mischief, malice, or (plural) guilt; masculine (singular) the devil, or (plural) sinners:--bad, evil, grievous, harm, lewd, malicious, wicked(-ness). See also
G4191.
- full of labours, annoyances, hardships
- pressed and harassed by labours
- bringing toils, annoyances, perils; of a time full of peril to Christian faith and steadfastness; causing pain and trouble

The word is used in the nominative case in Mt. 6:13. This usuallydenotes a title in the Greek. Hence Christ is saying, deliver usfrom "The Evil", and is probably referring to Satan.
