False Prophets and Teachers

1 But ^hfalse prophets also arose among the people, ⁱjust as there will be false teachers among you, who will ^jsecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master ^kwho bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth ^lwill be blasphemed. 3 And ^min their greed they will exploit you ⁿwith false words. ^oTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
