11If a man should go about and autter wind and lies,
saying, “I will preach to you bof wine and strong drink,”
he would be the preacher for this people!

Matthew 7:15

A Tree and Its Fruit

15 cBeware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are dravenous wolves.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

13For such men are efalse apostles, fdeceitful workmen, gdisguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as han angel of light. 15So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as iservants of righteousness. jTheir end will correspond to their deeds.

2 Peter 2:1-3

False Prophets and Teachers

1But kfalse prophets also arose among the people, ljust as there will be false teachers among you, who will msecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master nwho bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth owill be blasphemed. 3And pin their greed they will exploit you qwith false words. rTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

2 Peter 2:15-19

15Forsaking the right way, sthey have gone astray. They have followed tthe way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved ugain from wrongdoing, 16but was rebuked for his own transgression; va speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

Greek bondservants
of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.

1 John 4:1-2
