3  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his ^csubtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

  8  He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil ^csinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

  4  And thou seest that we know that thy plan was a very subtle plan, as to the subtlety of the devil, for to lie and to deceive this people that thou mightest set them against us, to revile us and to cast us out—

  12  For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it—

  5  And now the serpent was more ^asubtle than any beast of the field which I, the Lord God, had made.
