devil

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

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

¹⁴And no wonder, for even Satan presents himself as if he were an Angel of light.

⁴Everyone who commits a sin, also commits iniquity. For sin is iniquity. ⁵And you know that he appeared in order that he might take away our sins. For in him there is no sin. ⁶Everyone who abides in him does not sin. For whoever sins has not seen him, and has not known him. ⁷Little sons, let no one deceive you. Whoever does justice is just, even as he also is just. ⁸Whoever commits sin is of the devil. For the devil sins from the beginning. For this reason, the Son of God appeared, so that he might eradicate the works of the devil. ⁹All those who have been born of God do not commit sin. For the offspring of God abides in them, and he is not able to sin, because he was born of God.

⁴⁴You are of your father, the devil. And you will carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning. And he did not stand in the truth, because the truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks it from his own self. For he is a liar, and the father of lies.

¹²Because of this, rejoice, O heavens, and all who dwell within it. Woe to the earth and to the sea! For the devil has descended to you, holding great anger, knowing that he has little time.”

¹⁸We know that everyone who is born of God does not sin. Instead, rebirth in God preserves him, and the evil one cannot touch him. ¹⁹We know that we are of God, and that the entire world is established in wickedness.

¹¹Be clothed in the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the treachery of the devil. 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.

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.

⁴As for them, the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, would not shine in them.

¹⁰The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

¹⁰where both the beast and the false prophetess shall be tortured, day and night, forever and ever.

¹³Temptation should not take hold of you, except what is human. For God is faithful, and he will not permit you to be tempted beyond your ability. Instead, he will effect his Providence, even during temptation, so that you may be able to bear it.

¹¹Be clothed in the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the treachery of the devil.
