  • 2 Tim 4:3-4 : 3 For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound teaching, but according to their own desires, they will gather teachers for themselves to satisfy their itching ears. 4 They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths.
  • 1 John 2:19 : 19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their going out showed that none of them belonged to us.
  • 1 Tim 1:19-20 : 19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have shipwrecked their faith. 20 Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
  • Acts 11:26 : 26 When he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year, they met with the church and taught a large number of people. It was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians.
  • Jude 1:4-9 : 4 For certain people have secretly slipped in among you—those who were written about long ago as being destined for this condemnation. They are ungodly, turning the grace of our God into a license for immorality and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 5 Now I want to remind you, although you already know all this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, later destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not stay within their proper domain but abandoned their dwelling, He has kept in eternal chains under darkness for the judgment on the great day. 7 In the same way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desires, serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. 8 In the same way, these people also, relying on their dreams, defile their flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme glorious beings. 9 But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, 'The Lord rebuke you!' 10 These people speak abusively about what they do not understand, and what they do understand by instinct—like unreasoning animals—these are the very things that destroy them. 11 Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, rushed headlong for profit into Balaam’s error, and perished in Korah’s rebellion. 12 These are hidden reefs in your love feasts, feasting with you fearlessly, shepherding only themselves. They are waterless clouds, carried along by the winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted. 13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackest darkness has been reserved forever. 14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them, saying, 'Behold, the Lord comes with countless thousands of His holy ones,' 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds they have committed, and of all the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. 16 These people are grumblers and complainers, living according to their own desires. Their mouths speak arrogant words, flattering others for their own advantage.

Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 So that no one can say that you were baptized in my name.
  • Gal 6:12-13 : 12 Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh are the ones compelling you to be circumcised—only so that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For even those who are circumcised do not keep the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised so they can boast about your flesh.

But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would have been better for him if he had not been born." 25 Then Judas, the one who would betray Him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" Jesus answered, "You have said so."

Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
  • 2 Pet 2:18 : 18 For they utter arrogant, empty words and entice those who are barely escaping from others living in error, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh and by debauchery.
