False Prophets and Teachers

1 But ^ffalse prophets also arose among the people, ^gjust as there will be false teachers among you, who will ^hsecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master ⁱwho bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth ^jwill be blasphemed. 3 And ^kin their greed they will exploit you ^lwith false words. ^mTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
