^9 (A)Resist him, ^(B)firm in your faith, knowing that ^(C)the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? ³⁶ As it is written,

³⁷ No, in all these things we are more than ^(C)conquerors through ^(D)him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹ nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. ^(A)Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

¹⁸ We know that ^(A)everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but ^(B)he who was born of God ^(C)protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.

¹⁹ We know that we are from God, and ^(D)the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come and ^(E)has given us understanding, so that we may know ^(F)him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and ^(G)eternal life. ²¹ Little children, ^(H)keep yourselves from idols.

⁹ And ^(A)the great dragon was thrown down, ^(B)that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, ^(C)the deceiver of the whole world—^(D)he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now ^(E)the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers^[a] has been thrown down, ^(F)who accuses them day and night before our God. ¹¹ And ^(G)they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for ^(H)they loved not their lives ^(I)even unto death. ¹² Therefore, ^(J)rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But ^(K)woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because ^(L)he knows that his time is short!”
