Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,

See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Rejoice at all times. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
