Got it. The KJV calls him ‘prince’, as does the D-R Challoner edition.
The versions I use call him ‘ruler’ which is the more literal and usual translation of Arche/Archon. ‘Prince’ normally means to me as subject to a king or emperor, and would mean that satan is working within the confines and direction that God has given him. It is not Christian belief to consider that satan is doing God’s work. That’s why I put up my objection.
I understand your questioning of the word. But trust me, I wouldn’t use it if God’s Word didn’t say it!
