“Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.”
“And many shall follow their riotousness, through whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”
“And a great number will go with them in their evil ways, through whom the true way will have a bad name.”
“And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”
The False Teachers’ Ungodly Lifestyle But false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. These false teachers will infiltrate your midst with destructive heresies, even to the point of denying the Master who bought them. As a result, they will bring swift destruction on themselves.
And many will follow their debauched lifestyles. Because of these false teachers, the way of truth will be slandered.
And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their condemnation pronounced long ago is not sitting idly by; their destruction is not asleep.
