10 Bible Verses about Deception Through False Teachers

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

And through covetousness, with well-turned words, will they make merchandise of you: for whom judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction slumbers not.
