A question about gender

Does the gender of a verb have to agree with the gender of the subject?

For example, is δελεάζοντες masculine in 2 Peter 2:14 because ψευδοδιδάσκαλοι (in 2 Peter 2:1) is masculine?

Re: ἀψευδες

The people who debated what words meant in the New Testament were Christians. Those expressions of opinion are recorded in the church fathers. You mean like St. Basil and St. John Chrysostom? Chrysostom: ...What is the wrong that I have done you, since I have determined to embark from this point up...

Re: ἀψευδες

Correction: "I'd still be interested in what BDAG has to say, and far from looking for a one word definition for ψευδὴς (or ψευδὴς), I'm interested in the full scope and range of meaning of these words" should read "I'd still be interested in what BDAG has to say, and far from lookin...

Re: ἀψευδες

The phrase ὁ ἀψευδὴς θεὸς means "God, who is truthful" or "God, who never lies" Depending on how you define the word "lie," those could be two very different thoughts. If you remove "with intent to deceive, and define ψευδὴς as... to make an untrue statement with ...

ἀψευδες

I know the short definition of ψευδες would be to lie, but I'd like some idea of how this word was actually used by the Greeks, and what they meant by it.

Does BDAG have any citations?
