²²For false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and they will present signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if it were possible, even the elect.

¹⁴For these are the spirits of the demons that were causing the signs. And they advanced to the kings of the entire earth, to gather them for battle on the great day of Almighty God.

⁴For certain men entered unnoticed, who were written of beforehand unto this judgment: impious persons who are transforming the grace of our God into self-indulgence, and who are denying both the sole Ruler and our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹²For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the directors of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in high places.

¹⁹We know that we are of God, and that the entire world is established in wickedness.

¹¹And so, have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead, refute them.

⁶Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

⁹Behold, I will take from the synagogue of Satan those who declare themselves to be Jews and are not, for they are lying. Behold, I will cause them to approach and to reverence before your feet. And they shall know that I have loved you.

⁸Again, the devil took him up, onto a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, ⁹and said to him, “All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down and adore me.”

³For though we walk in the flesh, we do not battle according to the flesh. ⁴For the weapons of our battles are not carnal, yet still they are powerful with God, unto the destruction of fortifications: tearing down every counsel ⁵and height that extols itself contrary to the wisdom of God, and leading every intellect into the captivity of obedience to Christ,

⁵Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence. ⁶In all your ways, consider him, and he himself will direct your steps.

⁷And in vain do they worship me, teaching the doctrines and precepts of men.’

³¹Therefore, Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him: “If you will abide in my word, you will truly be my disciples. ³²And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”

⁴Whoever claims that he knows him, and yet does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

⁷Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you. ⁸Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.

⁶These have the power to close up the heavens, so that it may not rain during the days of their prophesying. And they have power over the waters, to convert them into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of affliction as often as they will. ⁷And when they will have finished their testimony, the beast that ascended from the abyss will make war against them, and will overcome them, and will kill them.

⁴⁶But why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?

¹⁰You who love the Lord: hate evil. The Lord watches over the souls of his holy ones. He will free them from the hand of the sinner.

¹²“You should not say ‘It is conspiracy!’ For all that this people speaks is a conspiracy. And you should not be frightened or alarmed with their fear. ¹³Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself. Let him be your dread, and let him be your fear.
