⁷Therefore, be subject to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

³⁷And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

¹And they went across the strait of the sea into the region of the Gerasenes. ²And as he was departing from the boat, he was immediately met, from among the tombs, by a man with an unclean spirit, ³who had his dwelling place with the tombs; neither had anyone been able to bind him, even with chains. ⁴For having been bound often with shackles and chains, he had broken the chains and smashed the shackles; and no one had been able to tame him. ⁵And he was always, day and night, among the tombs, or in the mountains, crying out and cutting himself with stones. ⁶And seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and adored him.

¹⁹You believe that there is one God. You do well. But the demons also believe, and they tremble greatly.

²²Then one who had a demon, who was blind and mute, was brought to him. And he cured him, so that he spoke and saw.

¹²For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the directors of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in high places.

⁸Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.

⁴Little sons, you are of God, and so you have overcome him. For he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

⁴For God did not spare those Angels who sinned, but instead delivered them, as if dragged down by infernal ropes, into the torments of the underworld, to be reserved unto judgment.

⁹And he was thrown out, that great dragon, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduces the whole world. And he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.
