Deuteronomy 13:3

²You shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.

¹⁰For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.

¹⁹For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

⁵You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

²⁴For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

²⁰Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

¹¹Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie,

¹Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

¹⁴He deceives my own^[+] people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast, saying to those who dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.

⁴You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
