KJV Word TypeNoun
DefinitionOne who opposes or acts against another. In the NT the Greek antidikos (legal opponent) and the OT Hebrew satan (accuser) both underlie this concept. "The adversary the devil" is the believer's supreme opponent, who prowls like a roaring lion seeking those to devour.
Key Verses"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8); "Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him." (Matthew 5:25)
