False Prophets and Teachers

1But gfalse prophets also arose among the people, hjust as there will be false teachers among you, who will isecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master jwho bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth kwill be blasphemed. 3And lin their greed they will exploit you mwith false words. nTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
