1Pe 5:8. Νήψατς, watch) Let this be your care. Watch with the soul.-γρηγορήσατε, watch) with the body.-ὁ ἀντίδικος-καταπίῃ, the adversary-may devour) He seeks the righteous at once by the appearance of justice and by violence: Apocalypse, Rev 12:10.-ὠρυόμενος, roaring) with fury.-ζητῶν, seeking) with treachery.-τίνα, whom) especially of the faithful, Job 1:8.-καταπίῃ, he may devour) First with reference to the soul, and then with reference to the body. But he especially lays snares by means of the sorrow arising from cares, which is injurious to faith.
