 ሐዋርያው ዮሐንስ፣ ዲያብሎስ የሚጠቀምባቸውን ሦስት ማታለያዎች ጠቅሷል፤ እነሱም (1) "የሥጋ ምኞት፣" (2) "የዓይን አምሮት" እና (3) "ኑሮዬ ይታይልኝ የሚል መንፈስ" ናቸው።
To do this, he uses the three "things in the world" mentioned by the apostle John: (1) "the desire of the flesh," (2) "the desire of the eyes," and (3) "the showy display of one's means of life."
