Thematic Bible



But those who were left of mankind, who had not perished through these Curses, did not repent and turn away from what their own hands had made; they would not abandon the worship of 'demons, and of idols made of gold or silver or brass or stone or wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk';





No; what I say is that the sacrifices offered by the Gentiles 'are offered to demons and to a Being who is no God,' and I do not want you to share with demons.

and men worshiped the Dragon, because he had given his dominion to the Beast; while, as they worshiped the Beast, they said-- 'Who can compare with the Beast? and who can fight with it?'


Exercise self-control, be watchful. Your adversary, the Devil, like a roaring lion, is prowling about, eager to devour you.

'Be angry, yet do not sin.' Do not let the sun go down upon your anger; And give no opportunity to the Devil.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you may be able to stand your ground against the stratagems of the Devil.

Therefore submit to God; but resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.


As for you, you are children of your Father the Devil, and you are determined to do what your father loves to do.

By this the Children of God are distinguished from the Children of the Devil--No one who lives unrighteously comes from God, and especially the man who does not love his Brother.

The field is the world. By the good seed is meant the People of the Kingdom. The tares are the wicked,

"You incarnation of deceit and all fraud! You son of the Devil! You opponent of all that is good! Will you never cease to divert 'the straight paths of the Lord'? Listen!
