2Cor 11:13-15, Gal 4:17, Eph 4:14, Col 2:8, 18, 2Th 2:3-12, 1Ti 4:1-3 | ESV | STEP | For such men are false apostles , deceitful workmen , disguising themselves as apostles of Christ .

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.

Galatians 4:17

17 They make much of you, but for no good purpose. They want to shut you out, that you may make much of them.

Ephesians 4:14

14 so that we may no longer be children, ^gtossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in ^hdeceitful schemes.

Colossians 2:8

8 See to it that no one takes you captive by ⁱphilosophy and ^jempty deceit, according to ^khuman tradition, according to the ^lelemental spirits ^{▼▼Or elementary principles; also verse 20} of the world, and not according to Christ.

Colossians 2:18

18 Let no one ⁿdisqualify you, ^oinsisting on asceticism and worship of angels, ^pgoing on in detail about visions, ^{▼▼Or about the things he has seen} ^rpuffed up without reason by ^shis sensuous mind,

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

3 ^tLet no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, ^uunless the rebellion comes first, and ^vthe man of lawlessness ^{▼▼Some manuscripts sin} is revealed, ^xthe son of destruction, ^{▼▼Greek the son of perdition (a Hebrew idiom)} 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, ^zproclaiming himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For ^aathe mystery of lawlessness ^abis already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then ^acthe lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus ^adwill kill with ^aethe breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by ^afthe appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan ^agwith all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for ^ahthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore ^aiGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe ^ajwhat is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned ^akwho did not believe the truth but ^alhad pleasure in unrighteousness.

1 Timothy 4:1-3

Some Will Depart from the Faith

1 Now ^amthe Spirit expressly says that ^anin later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to ^aodeceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of ^apliars whose consciences are seared, 3 ^aqwho forbid marriage and ^arrequire abstinence from foods ^asthat God created ^atto be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
