False Prophets and Teachers

1 But *Deut. 13:1;See Matt. 7:15false prophets also arose among the people, *Acts 20:30;2 Cor. 11:13;1 Tim. 4:1;[Matt. 24:11] just as there will be false teachers among you, who will *Jude 4;[Matt. 10:33;Gal. 2:4] secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master *1 Cor. 6:20;7:23;Gal. 3:13;4:5;Rev. 5:9;[Ex. 15:16;1 Pet. 1:18;Rev. 14:3,4]who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth *Rom. 2:24will be blasphemed. 3 And *[2 Cor. 12:17,18;1 Tim. 6:5;Titus 1:11] in their greed they will exploit you *Rom. 16:18;Col. 2:4with false words. *[Deut. 32:35;Phil. 3:19]Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
