Stay away from a foolish man;
you will gain no knowledge from his speech.

“If a prophet or someone who has dreams arises among you and proclaims a sign or wonder to you,

“The Lord asked him, ‘How?’

“He said, ‘I will go and become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’

“Then He said, ‘You will certainly entice him and prevail. Go and do that.’

“Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves.

Then Jesus told them, “Watch out and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Then He said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear. By the measure you use,

it will be measured and added to you.

He answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written:

These people honor

Me with their lips,

but their heart is far from Me.

They will never follow a stranger; instead they will run away from him, because they don’t recognize the voice of strangers.”

For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit.

But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. Rather, train yourself in godliness,

If anyone teaches other doctrine and does not agree with the sound teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching that promotes godliness,

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, and will bring swift destruction on themselves.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to determine if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home, and don’t say, “Welcome,” to him;

I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate evil. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars.
