"...That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive..." (Eph. 4:14)

The word "sleight" is from the Greek word, "kubos," which meant "cube" and referred literally to "dice-playing." It was used metaphorically for "deception" because dice players often cheated and defrauded their fellow players.

Like people who find themselves victims of professional gamblers, so are the untaught before the winds of error. Dishonesty and trickery are the name of the game for false teachers. They use an assortment of trickery, craftiness, and deceit to disguise their teaching as divine truth.

Let us be on guard against those who lie in wait to deceive.
