A Tree and Its Fruit

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

2 Peter 2:1-3

False Prophets and Teachers

1But efalse prophets also arose among the people, fjust as there will be false teachers among you, who will gsecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master hwho bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth iwill be blasphemed. 3And jin their greed they will exploit you kwith false words. lTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

1 John 4:1

Test the Spirits

1Beloved, mdo not believe every spirit, but ntest the spirits to see whether they are from God, for omany pfalse prophets qhave gone out into the world.
