2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

9The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan awith all power and false signs and wonders, 10and with all wicked deception for bthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore cGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe dwhat is false, 12in order that all may be condemned ewho did not believe the truth but fhad pleasure in unrighteousness.

1 Timothy 4:1-3

Some Will Depart from the Faith

1Now gthe Spirit expressly says that hin later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to ideceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2through the insincerity of jliars whose consciences are seared, 3 kwho forbid marriage and lrequire abstinence from foods mthat God created nto be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
