1In the beginning, indeed, many will accept our teaching. But afterward, by the will of the father of human error, they will turn back to him again.
2And he, in his justice, will reveal to them the meaning of the Word. Those who join them, however, will become their prisoners, because they are deprived of knowledge.
3He who is innocent, good and pure, is by them delivered to the executioner and to the authority of those who praise a restored Christ.
4Men who propagate falsehoods will come after you. They will adhere to the name of a dead man thinking they will be purified by that name.
5Instead, they will compromise themselves enormously, they will abandon themselves to a seductive name, to a deceitful christ.
6Some of them will insult the Truth and enunciate an evil teaching; and all will speak evil of one another.
