That no advantage may be gained over us (hina mē pleonektēthōmen). First aorist passive subjunctive after hina mē (negative purpose) of pleonekteō, old verb from pleonektēs, a covetous man (1Co 5:10.), to take advantage of, to gain, to overreach. In N.T. only in 1Th 4:6; 2Co 2:11; 2Co 7:2; 2Co 12:17. “That we may not be overreached by Satan.”

His devices (autou ta noēmata). Noēma from noeō to use the nous is old word, especially for evil plans and purposes as here.
