2 Peter 2:1-3

False Prophets and Teachers

1 But ^afalse prophets also arose among the people, ^bjust as there will be false teachers among you, who will ^csecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master ^dwho bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth ^ewill be blasphemed. 3 And ^fin their greed they will exploit you ^gwith false words. ^hTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

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.

Revelation of John 19:20

20 And the beast was captured, and with it ⁿthe false prophet ^owho in its presence ^{▼▼Or on its behalf} had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who ^qworshiped its image. These two were ^rthrown alive into the lake of ^sfire that burns with sulfur.
