1 There arose false prophets among the people. There will be false teachers among you! They will privately bring in destructive heresies contrary doctrines, denying even the Master who bought them. They bring swift destruction on themselves.2 Many will follow their lascivious filthy sensual deeds. The way of the truth will be maligned.3 They speak evil words about you because of their extreme greed. They will exploit you with false evil words. Their judgment from long ago is not idle. Their destruction will not delay.
