double-minded

Hi, I am looking for the translation from English to French about "double-minded" which has the meaning of being deceitful, having a personal agenda when you pretend otherwise.

Merci!
Would "hypocrite" fit?

And welcome to the forums

Actually, the text that I am translation deals with hypocrisy. So, I will be sounding a bit repetitive.
jouer/avoir un double jeu (hypocrisie/trahison)
je ne vois pas d'adjectif
I would say to be "opportuniste" voire "calculateur"
être un faux cul de calculateur
ou être un faux cul d'opportuniste!
I came across in the Bible in the book of James: "He is a double-minded man" of which in the French translation it says, "irrésolu". Would this be a good fit in that context? (Of course, "hypocrite" is a better word.)
irrésolu means you cannot make up your mind - not the same as hypocrite
