Ephesians 4:27

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

and don't give the devil a chance.

See the chapter Copy

Peter said, “Why has Satan made you keep back some of the money from the sale of the property? Why have you lied to the Holy Spirit?

Dear friends, don't try to get even. Let God take revenge. In the Scriptures the Lord says, “I am the one to take revenge and pay them back.”

Put on all the armour that God gives, so you can defend yourself against the devil's tricks.

Let your faith be like a shield, and you will be able to stop all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Surrender to God! Resist the devil, and he will run from you.

Be on your guard and stay awake. Your enemy, the devil, is like a roaring lion, prowling around to find someone to attack.
