¹⁴ and no wonder -- for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light;

⁸ but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you -- anathema let him be!

¹¹ that we may not be over-reached by the Adversary, for of his devices we are not ignorant.

³ and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that `is' in the Christ;

⁹ and the great dragon was cast forth -- the old serpent, who is called `Devil,' and `the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world -- he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.

¹ And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, `Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?'

² And the woman saith unto the serpent, `Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,

³ and of the fruit of the tree which `is' in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.'

⁴ And the serpent saith unto the woman, `Dying, ye do not die,

⁵ for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it -- your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.'

¹ Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,

² and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.

³ And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of God -- speak that these stones may become loaves.'

⁴ But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.'

⁵ Then doth the Devil take him to the `holy' city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

⁶ and saith to him, `If Son thou art of God -- cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.'

⁷ Jesus said to him again, `It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'

⁸ Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,

⁹ and saith to him, `All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.'

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus to him, `Go -- Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.'
