³¹ Now is the judgment of this world; now ^(A)the ruler of this world will be cast out.

³⁰ I will no longer talk much with you, ^(A)for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has ^(B)nothing in Me.

^11 (A)of judgment, because ^(B)the ruler of this world is judged.

⁴ whose minds ^(A)the god of this age ^(B)has blinded, who do not believe, lest ^(C)the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, ^(D)who is the image of God, should shine on them.

^11 (A)Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the ^[a]wiles of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against ^(B)principalities, against powers, against ^(C)the rulers of ^[b]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and ^(A)the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

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.

¹⁰ Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, ^(E)“Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, ^(F)who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. ¹¹ And ^(G)they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, ^(H)and they did not love their lives to the death. ¹² Therefore ^(I)rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! ^(J)Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, ^(K)because he knows that he has a short time.”

The Woman Persecuted

¹³ Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted ^(L)the woman who gave birth to the male Child. ^14 (M)But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, ^(N)that she might fly ^(O)into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished ^(P)for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. ¹⁵ So the serpent ^(Q)spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. ¹⁶ But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. ¹⁷ And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus ^[a]Christ.
