1John 2:16

Ὅτι πᾶν τὸ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, ἡ ἐπιθυμία τῆς σαρκός, καὶ ἡ ἐπιθυμία τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν, καὶ ἡ ἀλαζονεία τοῦ βίου, οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ πατρός, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου ἐστί.

RBT Translation:

βίος - Way of Life, Livelihood, Means of Living

Because everything within the Order, the Desire of the Flesh, and the Desire of the Eyes and the False Pretense³ of the Bio-Life, she is not from out of the Father, but rather she is from out of the Order.

LITV Translation:
None

ESV Translation:
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.

The term ἀλαζονεία, ας (ἡ) derives from ἀλαζών ("boaster" or "braggart") and refers to boastfulness, arrogance, or pretentiousness. In ancient Greek literature, it commonly signifies excessive pride or self-promotion through false claims or exaggeration (Plato, Gorgias 523a). It is often paired with related concepts such as ὕβρις (insolence, Plato, Phaedrus 253e), ψεῦδος (falsehood, Plato, Gorgias 525a), and οἴημα (conceit, Plutarch, Moralia 43b). In metaphorical usage, as in Plato, Republic 531b, it describes harsh or discordant sounds, likened to "boastful" musical strings. Philosophically, ἀλαζονεία represents a moral flaw, contrasting with virtues like humility and truthfulness (Aristotle, Rhetoric). Its plural form, ἀλαζονεῖαι, appears in rhetorical and comedic works to denote multiple acts of boastfulness (Aristophanes, Knights 290). Cf. Bailly 2024
