Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
