ὄφις

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
