For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:14
And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light.

So it is no great thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works.
2 Peter 2:3
And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.
2 Peter 2:18
For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;
2 Peter 2:19
Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him.

Matthew 13:39
And he who put them in the earth is Satan; and the getting in of the grain is the end of the world; and those who get it in are the angels.
Romans 8:16
The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God:
1 John 3:8
The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.
1 John 3:9
Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father.
1 John 3:10
In this way it is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the Evil One; anyone who does not do righteousness or who has no love for his brother, is not a child of God.
1 John 3:11
Because this is the word which was given to you from the first, that we are to have love for one another;
1 John 3:12
Not being of the Evil One like Cain, who put his brother to death. And why did he put him to death? Because his works were evil and his brother's works were good.
