False Prophets and Teachers

1 But ^pfalse prophets also arose among the people, ^qjust as there will be false teachers among you, who will ^rsecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master ^swho bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth ^twill be blasphemed. 3 And ^uin their greed they will exploit you ^vwith false words. ^wTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
