1 John 3:8
KJV—For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy the works
of the devil.

Amp—The reason the Son of God was
made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy,
loosen and dissolve) the works the
devil [has done].

Moffatt—He who commits sin belongs
to the devil, for the devil is a sinner from
the very beginning. (This is why the Son
of God appeared, to destroy the deeds of
the devil.)

NEB—The man who sins is a child of the
devil, for the devil has been a sinner from
the first; and the Son of God appeared for
the very purpose of undoing the devil’s work.

Revelation 12:11
KJV—And they overcame him by the blood
of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;
and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Amp—And they have overcome (conquered)
him by means of the blood of
the Lamb and by the utterance of their
testimony, for they did not love and cling
to life even when faced with death—holding
their lives cheap till they had to die [for
their witnessing].

Moffatt—But they have conquered him by
the blood of the Lamb and by the word of
their testimony; they had to die for it, but
they did not cling to life.

NEB—By the sacrifice of the Lamb they
have conquered him, and by the testimony
which they uttered; for they did not hold
their lives too dear to lay them down.
