Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

  4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

  5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

 

(He was not always like that, so, how did he get like that?)

 

Ezekiel 28:12b Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

  13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

  14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

  15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

  16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

  17a Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness:

 

(Pride was a great sin of his:)

 

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

  13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

  14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

  15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

 

(He didn't even fear to challenge the LORD:)

 

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

  7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

  8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

  9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

  10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

  11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

 

Job 2:4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

  5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

 

(He tempted in the old testament:)

Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

  2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

  3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

  4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

  5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

  6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

  7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

  8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

  9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

  10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

  11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

(And he is an enemy of ours:)

 

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

 

John 13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;

(But he has an end:)

 

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

  8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

  3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

  7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

  10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
