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.

has gone from you,
and all your delicacies and your splendors

^mthat was clothed in fine linen,
in purple and scarlet,

with jewels, and with pearls!
17 For ⁿin a single hour all this wealth ^ohas been laid waste.”
And ^pall shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off

and all nations were deceived ^sby your sorcery.
