Zechariah 13:4
4“On that day aevery prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies. He will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive,Mark 12:38-40
Beware of the Scribes
38 bAnd in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces 39and have the best seats in the synagogues and cthe places of honor at feasts, 40 dwho devour widows’ houses and efor a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”Romans 16:17-18
Final Instructions and Greetings
17I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles fcontrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; gavoid them. 18For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but htheir own appetites, ▼▼Greek their own belly
and jby smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
13For such men are kfalse apostles, ldeceitful workmen, mdisguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as nan angel of light. 15So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as oservants of righteousness. pTheir end will correspond to their deeds.Galatians 2:4
4 qYet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who rslipped in to spy out sour freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, tso that they might bring us into slavery—Ephesians 4:14
14so that we may no longer be children, utossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in vdeceitful schemes.
