2 Corinthians 11:13-15

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

Titus 1:11

11They must be silenced, since gthey are upsetting whole families by teaching hfor shameful gain what they ought not to teach.

2 Peter 2:3

3And iin their greed they will exploit you jwith false words. kTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

2 Peter 2:14-19

14They have eyes full of adultery, linsatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts mtrained in greed. nAccursed children! 15Forsaking the right way, othey have gone astray. They have followed pthe way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved qgain from wrongdoing, 16but was rebuked for his own transgression; ra speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

17 sThese are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. tFor them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. 18For, uspeaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely vescaping from those who live in error. 19They promise them wfreedom, xbut they themselves are slaves
Greek bondservants
of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.
