Matthew 24:4

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.

⁸For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Don’t let your prophets who are among you and your diviners deceive you. Don’t listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.

³Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be unless the rebellion ^[+] comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction.

⁸Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elemental spirits of the world, and not after Christ.

⁶Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

⁵Jesus, answering, began to tell them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray. ⁶For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’^[+] and will lead many astray.

²²For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

⁸He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ ^[+] and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.

¹⁴that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;

¹³For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles. ¹⁴And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light. ¹⁵It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
