Footnote

a The descriptive names given to Satan (Resister, Slanderer, Deceiver, Tempter, Liar) do not imply that he has the ability to search our hearts and minds. By way of contrast, however, Jehovah is described as “the examiner of hearts,” and Jesus, as the one who “searches the innermost thoughts and hearts.”​—Proverbs 17:3; Revelation 2:23.
