2 Peter 2:2

The Rise And Fall Of The False Teachers

¹ There were false prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you: which privily shall bring in damnable sects, even denying the Lord that hath bought them, and bring upon themselves swift damnation. ² And many shall follow their damnable ways, by which the way of truth shall be evil spoken of; ³ and through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you, whose judgment is not far off, and their damnation sleepeth not.
