Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

False prophets

2 There were, however, false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among yourselves, who will sneak in with their destructive false teachings, even denying the master who paid the price for them. They will earn swift destruction for themselves, ² and many will follow after their disgusting practices. The way of truth will be blasphemed because of them, ³ and in their greed they will exploit you with fake prophecies. For a long time now, their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not fallen asleep.
