<p> (ὁ πονηρός , <i> '''''ho ponērós''''' </i> ): Nearly all peoples who have expressed their religious thought and feeling believe in a spirit that presides over the destinies of men for their good. They believe that there is also a spirit, a person, whose work it is to lead men into temptation: a spirit of light and a spirit of darkness. Feelings and preferences may have much to do with the conclusions. In Matthew 5:37 , Matthew 5:39 , Matthew 5:45; Matthew 6:13 , the King James Version gives "evil," the Revised Version (British and American) "the evil <i> one </i> ," margin, "evil," the personal form referring to the enemy of the race known by various terms: Satan, "the adversary" or "the accuser," occurs 50 times; [[Beelzebub]] is found 7 times; devil, 35 times; it means "accuser," "calumniator."
