8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
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.
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
