and do not leave room for the Devil.
»Ananias,« said Peter, »why has Satan taken possession of your heart, that you should try to deceive the Holy Spirit and dishonestly keep back part of the price paid you for this land?
Do not be revengeful, my dear friends, but give way before anger; for it is written, »`Revenge belongs to Me: I will pay back,' says the Lord.«
Put on the complete armour of God, so as to be able to stand firm against all the stratagems of the Devil.
And besides all these take the great shield of faith, on which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of the Wicked one;
Submit therefore to God: resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
Curb every passion, and be on the alert. Your great accuser, the Devil, is going about like a roaring lion to see whom he can devour.
