Romans 16:18 For such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites. By their smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the guileless (akakōn | ἀκάκων | gen pl masc).
Hebrews 7:26 For such a high priest was appropriate for us, one who is holy, innocent (akakos | ἄκακος | nom sg masc), undefiled; having been separated from sinners, he became exalted above the heavens.
