Daemon:
the Greek form, rendered "devil" in the Authorized Version of the New Testament. Daemons are spoken of as spiritual beings (Mat 8:16; 10:1; 12:43-45) at enmity with God, and as having a certain power over man (Jam 2:19; Rev 16:14). They recognize our Lord as the Son of God (Mat 8:20; Luk 4:41). They belong to the number of those angels that "kept not their first estate," "unclean spirits," "fallen angels," the angels of the devil (Mat 25:41; Rev 12:7-9). They are the "principalities and powers" against which we must "wrestle" (Eph 6:12).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
