Disciples/apostles » Who is a false apostle
And I am afraid lest, as the serpent completely deceived Eve in his craft, so your thoughts be corrupted from the simplicity which in Christ. For if he coming proclaim another Jesus, which I proclaimed not, or ye receive another spirit, which ye received not, or other good news, which ye received not, ye have held up well. For I reckon myself to be nothing greatly inferior to the sent. read more.
And, if also ignorant in the word, but not in knowledge; but in every thing, we having been made manifest in all for you. Or did I a sin, humbling myself that ye might be exalted, because I announced to you the good news of God gratuitously? I stripped other churches, having received pay, for your service. And being present with you, and having wanted, I acted not with negligence to any: (for the brethren having come from Macedonia filled up still more my want:) and I kept myself in every thing not burdensome to you, and I will keep. The truth of Christ is in me, for this boasting shall not be shut up in me in the regions of Achaia. Wherefore? because I love you not? God knows. And what I do, and I will do, that I shall not cut off the occasion of those wishing the occasion; that in what they boast, they be found as also we. For such the falsely sent, crafty workers, being transformed into the sent of Christ. And not wonderful; for Satan himself is transformed into a messenger of light. No great thing therefore if also his servants are transformed as servants of justice; whose end shall be according to their works.

Heresy » Teachers of, among early Christians
I know thy works, and thy fatigue, and thy patience, and that thou canst not bear the wicked: and thou bast tried them saying they are sent, and are not, and thou Last found them liars:
Since we heard that certain of us having come out have troubled you with words, destroying your souls, saying, To be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we sent no word:
Which is not another; except some are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of Christ.
For if he coming proclaim another Jesus, which I proclaimed not, or ye receive another spirit, which ye received not, or other good news, which ye received not, ye have held up well.
And through false brethren introduced privately, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might reduce us to slavery:
Dearly beloved, making all diligence to write to you of the common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, beseeching to fight for the faith once delivered to the holy ones. For certain men entered in by stealth, long ago written of beforehand for judgment, irreligious, having changed the grace of our God into licentiousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. And I wish to remind you, ye having once known this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, the second time destroyed them not having believed. read more.
Also the angels not having kept their beginning, but having left their own habitation, he has kept in perpetual chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day. As Sodom and Gomorrha and the cities about them, debauched in like manner to these, and having gone away after other flesh, are set before a sample of eternal fire, enduring punishment. And likewise indeed these dreaming truly defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and defame glories. But Michael the archangel, when fighting with the accuser, discussed concerning the body of Moses, dared not to bring the judgment of defamation, but said, May the Lord censure thee. And these truly what things they know not they defame: and what things naturally, as irrational animals, they know, in these they corrupt themselves. Woe to them for they went in the way of Cain, and were poured out in the error of Balaam for a reward, and they were destroyed in the controversy of Core. These are spots in your loves, feasting together fearlessly, taking care of themselves: clouds wanting water, carried about by winds; decayed trees, unfruitful, twice dead, uprooted; Fierce waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom the obseurity of darkness has been kept forever. And also of these prophesied Enoch, the seventh from Adam, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones, To do judgment to all, and to convince all their irreligious of all their works of irreligion which they have impiously acted, and of all the hard things which the sinful irreligious spake against him. These are murmurers, discontented, going according to their eager desires; and their mouth speaks exceeding bulky things, admiring faces on account of advantage.
