2 Peter 2:1‑3,13‑22• ¹But there were false prophets also among the people, as there shall be also false teachers among you, such as shall bring in by-the-bye sects of perdition, denying even the Sovereign Master that bought them, bringing on themselves swift perdition;

³And in covetousness with feigned words, they shall make merchandise of you: for whom judgment from of old is not idle, and their perdition slumbereth not.
¹³receiving as they shall wages of unrighteousness, accounting [their] ephemeral luxury pleasure; spots and blemishes, luxuriating in their love feasts, feasting with you;
¹⁴having eyes full of an adulteress and without cessation from sin; setting baits for unstable souls; having a heart practiced in covetousness, children of curse;
¹⁵abandoning as they did a straight way, they went astray, following out in the way of Balaam [son] of Beor, who loved wages of unrighteousness,
¹⁶but had reproof of his own iniquity; a dumb beast of burden speaking with man's voice forbade the madness of the prophet.

1 John 4:1‑6• ¹Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, if they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

³and every spirit which confesseth not Jesus is not of God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is already in the world.
⁴Ye are of God, dear children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that [is] in you than he that [is] in the world.
