Exegesis
The instrumental dia tēs chrestologías kai eulogías {διὰ τῆς χρηστολογίας καὶ εὐλογίας | diá tês chrēstologías kai eulogías} conveys means, rendered as “through smooth talk” and “with flattery,” and the verb exapatôsi {ἐξαπατῶσι | exapatôsi} resumes the action “they deceive” with tas kardías tôn akákōn {τὰς καρδίας τῶν ἀκάκων | tàs kardías tôn akákōn} as the object, highlighting how the innocent are misled at the level of the inner self.
In context — Romans 16:18
For people like that do not serve our Lord Christ , but serve their own belly, and through smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
