³ Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

⁹ So ^(A)the great dragon was cast out, ^(B)that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, ^(C)who deceives the whole world; ^(D)he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

³ and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and ^(A)set a seal on him, ^(B)so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.

⁶ And the angels who did not keep their ^[a]proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

⁸ Be ^[a]sober, be ^[b]vigilant; ^[c]because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Humility Cures Worldliness

⁷ Therefore submit to God. ^(A)Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
