2 Corinthians 11:12-15
New English Translation
12 And what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may eliminate any opportunity for those who want a chance to be regarded as our equals[a] in the things they boast about. 13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful[b] workers, disguising themselves[c] as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself[d] as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising his servants also disguise themselves[e] as servants of righteousness, whose end will correspond to their actions.[f]

Lexham English Bible
12 But what I am doing, I will also do, in order that I may remove the opportunity of those who want an opportunity, that they may be found just as also we are in what they are boasting about. 13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not a great thing if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
