But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.

But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

This great dragon— the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world— was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.

He seized the dragon— that old serpent, who is the devil, Satan— and bound him in chains for a thousand years.

“ Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves.

During that time the devil came and said to him,“ If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”

Then the Lord God asked the woman,“ What have you done?”“ The serpent deceived me,” she replied.“ That’s why I ate it.”Then the Lord God said to the serpent,“ Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all animals, domestic and wild. You will crawl on your belly, groveling in the dust as long as you live.And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.”

and said,“ If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say,‘ He will order his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’”

In that day the Lord will take his terrible, swift sword and punish Leviathan, the swiftly moving serpent, the coiling, writhing serpent. He will kill the dragon of the sea.

Then the Lord gave the donkey the ability to speak.“ What have I done to you that deserves your beating me three times?” it asked Balaam.“ You have made me look like a fool!” Balaam shouted.“ If I had a sword with me, I would kill you!”

In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God’s gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.

If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.

“ I will give it all to you,” he said,“ if you will kneel down and worship me.”
