2 Corinthians 11:13-15

13 For such men are ^afalse apostles, ^bdeceitful workmen, ^cdisguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as ^dan angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as ^eservants of righteousness. ^fTheir end will correspond to their deeds.

1 John 2:21-22

21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but ^ghe who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is ^hthe antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

1 John 4:1

Test the Spirits

1 Beloved, ⁱdo not believe every spirit, but ^jtest the spirits to see whether they are from God, for ^kmany ^lfalse prophets ^mhave gone out into the world.
