1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.2 And many will follow their destructive ways, through whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.3 By covetousness they will exploit you with well-turned words; whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
