7 Bible Verses about Deception Through False Teachers

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ;

and from among yourselves will men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

For those who are such are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and, through their kind words and flattering speeches, they beguile the hearts of the simple.

that we may no longer be babes, billow-tossed, and carried about with every wind of teaching, in the sleight of men, in the craftiness suited to the artifice of error;

in hypocrisy of men speaking lies, branded in their own conscience with a hot iron;

For there are many unruly men, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whom it is needful to reduce to silence: who, indeed, are overthrowing whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of base gain.

But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there will be false teachers, who, indeed, will stealthily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master Who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction: and many will follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth will be defamed; and, in covetousness, will they, with feigned words, make merchandise of you; for whom the judgment from of old lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.
