What Does the Bible Say about Satan, the devil

The thought will come:  There is no devil.  Those are just your own thoughts.  The devil is not really real.   But do those thoughts line up with God's word.  Just as Jesus used the word to stand against the devil, so can we and there are numerous scriptures which point out that Satan is in fact real and working to destroy us (and the society we live in). 

These References are taken from the Bible Hub.  I've gone back and changed each scripture to the KJV because that is what I'm familiar with and use.
