You must not touch it, or you will die.'read more.

2 Corinthians 11:3-14

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds will be lead away from the simplicity and the purity (cleanness) that is toward Christ.

Though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. We have in every way made this evident to you in all things. Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you the good news of God without charge? I robbed other congregations, taking pay from them that I might minister to you. When I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man. For the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will continue to do the same. As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me from doing this boasting in the regions of Achaia. Why? Is it because I do not love you? God knows I do! But what I do, I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion; that in whatever matter they boast, they may be found equal with me. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder for even Satan fashions himself into an angel of light.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-10

The evil (lawless) one will come with the power of Satan and perform all kinds of false signs and wonders. He will use every kind of wicked deceit on those who will perish. They will perish because they did not welcome and love the truth so as to be saved.
