Guarded by God, we fear no demon
For even if the demons are not well disposed toward them, they could suffer nothing from them, since they are guarded by the God over all, who is well disposed toward them because of their piety, and who sets His divine angels over those worthy of being guarded, so that they suffer nothing from the demons. He who has the God over all well disposed toward him through his piety toward Him, and through having received the Lord Jesus, God’s Angel “of Great Counsel” (Isaiah 9:6), and who is content with the goodwill of God through Christ Jesus, could say with confidence, as one who will suffer nothing from the whole army of demons: “The Lord is my light and my Savior; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1). And he will also say: “If an army is drawn up against me, my heart will not fear” (Psalm 27:3).
So much, then, in answer to the words: “But if there are certain demons, clearly these too belong to God, and we must trust them, and offer acceptable sacrifices to them according to the laws, and pray to them, so that they may be well disposed.”

Οὐδὲ γὰρ. κἂν μὴ ὦσιν αὐτοῖς εὐμενεῖς οἱ δαίμονες, πάσχειν ἄν τι ὑπ᾿ αὐτῶν δύναιντο. φρουρούμενοι ὑπὸ τοῦ εὐμενοῦς αὐτοῖς διὰ τὴν εὐσέβειαν ἐπὶ πᾶσι θεοῦ καὶ τοὺς θείους αὐτοῦ ἀγγέλους ἐφιστάντος τοῖς ἀξίοις τοῦ φρουρεῖσθαι. ἵνα μηδὲν πάσχωσιν ἀπὸ τῶν δαιμόνων. ὁ δ᾿ ἔχων τὸν ἐπὶ πᾶσι θεὸν διὰ τὴν εἰς αὐτὸν εὐσέβειαν εὐμενῆ καὶ διὰ τὸ τὸν τῆς „μεγάλης βουλῆς“ ἄγγελον τοῦ θεοῦ παραδεδέχθαι κύριον Ἰησοῦν, ἀρκούμενος τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ διὰ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ εὐμενείᾳ λέγοι ἂν θαῤῥῶν ὡς οὐδὲν πεισόμενος ἀπὸ παντὸς τοῦ τῶν δαιμόνων στρατοπέδου· „κύριος φωτισμός μου καὶ σωτήρ μου, τίνα φοβηθήσομαι; κύριος ὑπερασπιστὴς τῆς ζωῆς μου. ἀπὸ τίνος δειλιάσω;“ ἐρεῖ δὲ καὶ τό· „ἐὰν παρατάξηται ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ παρεμβολὴ, οὐ φοβηθήσεται ἡ καρδία μου.“ τοσαῦτα καὶ εἰς τὸ εἰ δ᾿ εἰσί τινες δαίμονες. δηλονότι καὶ οὗτοι τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσι (ν. οἷς) καὶ πιστευτέον καὶ καλλιερητέον κατὰ νόμους καὶ προσευκτέον. ἵν᾿ εὐμενεῖς ὦσιν.
