35 and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, ^apurified, and ^bmade white, until ^cthe time of the end, ^dfor it still awaits the appointed time.

Matthew 24:5-12

5 For ^emany will come in my name, saying, ‘I am ^fthe Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you ^gare not alarmed, for this ^hmust take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For ⁱnation will rise against nation, and ^jkingdom against kingdom, and there will be ^kfamines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of ^lthe birth pains.

9 “Then ^mthey will deliver you up ⁿto tribulation and ^oput you to death, and ^pyou will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away ^{▼▼Or stumble} and ^rbetray one another and hate one another. 11 And many ^sfalse prophets will arise ^tand lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, ^uthe love of many will grow cold.

2 Peter 2:1
