2 And you must remember all the way that Jehovah your God made you walk these forty years in the wilderness,+ in order to humble you,+ to put you to the test+ so as to know what was in your heart,+ as to whether you would keep his commandments or not.

24 For false Christs+ and false prophets+ will arise and will give great signs+ and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.+

19 For there must also be sects*+ among YOU, that the persons approved may also become manifest among YOU.+

11 So that is why God lets an operation of error go to them, that they may get to believing the lie,+
