"The Tempter continually goes to and fro to baffle our salvation, while he 
himself gains nothing, but rather is to the last degree a loser by his 
zeal; but still so maddened is he, that he often attempts impossible 
things, and attacks not only those whom he expects to cause utterly to 
stumble or fall, but also those who in all probability will escape his 
snares. Therefore, when he heard Job praised by that God who knows all 
secrets, he thought to be able to overcome, nor did he in his guile cease 
trying every method and every device in order to cause the man to fall. The 
Spirit of all evil and wickedness did not shrink from the attempt, though 
God had ascribed such grace to that just man."

St. John Chrysostom, On the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to 
His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the 
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible 
and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who 
are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be 
revealed in the last time."  1 Peter 1:3-5
