Definition of Accuser from Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words which is keyed to the English Version (1881-1885), which is similare to the ASV 1901 (American Standard Version) <1,,1228,diabolos> "an accuser" (cp. ACCUSE, B, No. 1), is used 34 times as a title of Satan, the Devil (the English word is derived from the Greek); once of Judas, John 6:70, who, in his opposition of God, acted the part of the Devil. Apart from John 6:70, men are never spoken of as devils. It is always to be distinguished from daimon, "a demon." It is found three times, 1 Tim. 3:11; 2 Tim. 3:3; Titus 2:3, of false accusers, slanderers. <2,,2725,kategoros>
