1 Peter 5:8 (NKJ)
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
I find this to be a profound verse. I especially like the New King James version quoted above. Seeking “WHOM” he may devour. He is especially seeking out those who make it easy for him. Those that may have fallen away from their faith. Drunkenness, adultery, etc., makes you an easy target.
Ephesians 4:27 (NIV)
27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
Rest in peace Mr. Kincaid
