KJV Word TypeNoun
DefinitionThe KJV uses "devil" (Greek: daimonion) to translate what modern versions render as "demon" — an evil spiritual being opposed to God and humanity. Demons can afflict, oppress, and possess. They are under Satan's authority and are subject to the authority of Christ.
Key Verses"And they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word." (Matthew 8:16); "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." (James 2:19)
