Context Readings

The Rise And Fall Of The False Teachers

1 BUT there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers also among you, who wickedly introduce damnable heresies, and deny the sovereign Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will go out of the way after their fatal errors; by means of whom the way of truth will be injuriously reviled. 3 And with plausible speeches will they avariciously make gain of you whose condemnation from of old lingereth not, and their perdition doth not slumber.
