(I am telling you this beforehand.)
I have told you all this, to keep you from being repelled.
That will turn out an opportunity for you to bear witness.
I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise like serpents and guileless like doves.
for false Christs and false prophets will rise and bring forward great signs and wonders, so as to mislead the very elect, — if that were possible.
If they tell you, 'Here he is in the desert,' do not go out; 'here he is in the chamber,' do not believe it.
I warned you already, on my second visit, and I warn you now before I come, both you who sinned some time ago and the rest of you as well, that I will spare no one if I come back.
