The nominative singular form marks the figure as an active agent: in Mark 4:15 the APB renders him as coming immediately to take away the word sown in hearers, and in 1 Thessalonians 2:18 as hindering an intended visit. In 1 Corinthians 7:5 he may tempt because of lack of self-control, while Revelation 12:9 renders the clause as identifying him with a deceiver cast down to the earth.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently uses “Satan” for the term, whether the figure acts as subject, appears in a genitive relation, or is directly addressed. Its surrounding descriptions clarify the verse-level action rather than supplying separate lexical meanings.
