SATAN


Taken from the HOLY BIBLE: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (C) 1978 by the New 
York Bible Society, used by permission of Zondervan Bible Publishers.

GEN 3:1  Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the 
LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not 
eat from any tree in the garden'?"

4  "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.

5  "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you 
will be like God, knowing good and evil."

14  So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, 
"Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will 
crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

15  And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your 
offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."

1SA 16:14  Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil 
spirit from the LORD tormented him.

2SA 23:6  But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns, which are not 
gathered with the hand.

7  Whoever touches thorns uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear; they 
are burned up where they lie."

1KI 22:22  "'By what means?' the LORD asked. "'I will go out and be a lying 
spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,' he said. "'You will succeed in 
enticing him,' said the LORD. 'Go and do it.'

1CH 21:1  Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census 
of Israel.

JOB 1:6  One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and 
Satan also came with them.

7  The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the 
LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it."

9  "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Satan replied.

10  "Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything 
he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and 
herds are spread throughout the land.

11  But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will 
surely curse you to your face."

12  The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, everything he has is in your 
hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger." Then Satan went out 
from the presence of the LORD.

2:3  Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? 
There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who 
fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you 
incited me against him to ruin him without any reason."

4  "Skin for skin!" Satan replied. "A man will give all he has for his own 
life.

5  But stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will 
surely curse you to your face."

6  The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you 
must spare his life."

7  So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and afflicted Job with 
painful sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

9:24  When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its 
judges. If it is not he, then who is it?

PSA 109:6  Appoint an evil man to oppose him; let an accuser stand at his 
right hand.

ZEC 3:1  Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel 
of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him.

2  The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has 
chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from 
the fire?"

MAT 4:1  Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by 
the devil.

2  After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

3  The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these 
stones to become bread."

4  Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but 
on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

5  Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the 
highest point of the temple.

6  "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is 
written: "'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift 
you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a 
stone.'"

7  Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God 
to the test.'"

8  Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the 
kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

9  "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship 
me."

10  Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship 
the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"

11  Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

12:24  But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "It is only by 
Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons."

29  "Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man's house and carry off his 
possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can rob his 
house.

43  "When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places 
seeking rest and does not find it.

13:19  When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not 
understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his 
heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

30  Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the 
harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; 
then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.'"

38  The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the 
kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39  and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the 
age, and the harvesters are angels.

16:18  And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my 
church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

25:41  "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are 
cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

MAR 3:22  And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, 
"He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out 
demons."

23  So Jesus called them and spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan 
drive out Satan?

24  If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25  If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26  And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end 
has come.

LUK 4:2  where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing 
during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.

6  And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, 
for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.

10:18  He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

11:15  But some of them said, "By Beelzebub, the prince of demons, he is 
driving out demons."

21  "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions 
are safe.

22  But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the 
armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils.

13:16  Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has 
kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from 
what bound her?"

22:31  "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat.

53  Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a 
hand on me. But this is your hour--when darkness reigns."

JOH 8:38  I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence, and 
you do what you have heard from your father."

41  You are doing the things your own father does." "We are not 
illegitimate children," they protested. "The only Father we have is God 
himself."

44  You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your 
father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the 
truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native 
language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

12:31  Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this 
world will be driven out.

13:2  The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted 
Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus.

27  As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. "What you are 
about to do, do quickly," Jesus told him,

14:30  I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world 
is coming. He has no hold on me,

16:11  and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now 
stands condemned.

ACT 5:3  Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your 
heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some 
of the money you received for the land?

13:10  "You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is 
right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never 
stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?

26:18  to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from 
the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and 
a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

ROM 16:20  The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The 
grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

1CO 7:5  Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, 
so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so 
that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

2CO 2:11  in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware 
of his schemes.

4:4  The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they 
cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image 
of God.

6:15  What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer 
have in common with an unbeliever?

11:3  But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's 
cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure 
devotion to Christ.

14  And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

15  It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of 
righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

12:7  To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly 
great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of 
Satan, to torment me.

EPH 2:2  in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world 
and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work 
in those who are disobedient.

4:27  and do not give the devil a foothold.

6:11  Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against 
the devil's schemes.

12  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the 
rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and 
against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil 
comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done 
everything, to stand.

14  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with 
the breastplate of righteousness in place,

15  and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel 
of peace.

16  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you 
can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

COL 1:13  For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought 
us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,

2:15  And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public 
spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

1TH 2:18  For we wanted to come to you--certainly I, Paul, did, again and 
again--but Satan stopped us.

3:5  For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out 
about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter might have 
tempted you and our efforts might have been useless.

2TH 2:9  The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work 
of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,

1TI 1:20  Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over 
to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.

3:6  He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall 
under the same judgment as the devil.

7  He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not 
fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap.

5:15  Some have in fact already turned away to follow Satan.

2TI 2:26  and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap 
of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

HEB 2:14  Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their 
humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of 
death--that is, the devil--

JAM 4:7  Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will 
flee from you.

1PE 5:8  Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around 
like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

9  Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your 
brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

2PE 2:4  For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to 
hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;

1JO 2:13  I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from 
the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the 
evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you have known the Father.

3:8  He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been 
sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to 
destroy the devil's work.

10  This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of 
the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; 
nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

12  Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his 
brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and 
his brother's were righteous.

5:18  We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who 
was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.

JUD 1:6  And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but 
abandoned their own home--these he has kept in darkness, bound with 
everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.

9  But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil 
about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation 
against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

REV 2:9  I know your afflictions and your poverty--yet you are rich! I know 
the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue 
of Satan.

10  Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil 
will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution 
for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you 
the crown of life.

13  I know where you live--where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true 
to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, even in the days of 
Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city--where 
Satan lives.

24  Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her 
teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets (I will not 
impose any other burden on you):

3:9  I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be 
Jews though they are not, but are liars--I will make them come and fall 
down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.

9:11  They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in 
Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.

12:3  Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with 
seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads.

9  The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, 
or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and 
his angels with him.

10  Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation 
and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. 
For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and 
night, has been hurled down.

11  They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their 
testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

12  Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to 
the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled 
with fury, because he knows that his time is short."

20:1  And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the 
Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain.

2  He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, 
and bound him for a thousand years.

3  He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep 
him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. 
After that, he must be set free for a short time.

4  I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to 
judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their 
testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped 
the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or 
their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5  (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were 
ended.) This is the first resurrection.

6  Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The 
second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of 
Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

7  When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison

8  and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth-
-Gog and Magog--to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand 
on the seashore.

9  They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of 
God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and 
devoured them.

10  And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning 
sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be 
tormented day and night for ever and ever.
