X. And the apostles, who speak of God, 1907 in establishing the truth of the advent of the Lord Jesus Christ, have each of them indicated the appearing of these abominable and ruin-working men, and have openly announced their lawless deeds. First of all Peter, the rock of the faith, whom Christ our God called blessed, the teacher of the Church, the first disciple, he who has the keys of the kingdom, has instructed us to this effect: “Know this first, children, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts. 1908 And there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies.” 1909 After him, John the theologian, 1910 and the beloved of Christ, in harmony with him, cries, “The children of the devil are manifest; 1911 and even now are there many antichrists; 1912 but go not after them. 1913 Believe not every spirit, because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1914 And then Jude, the brother of James, speaks in like manner: “In the last times there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts. There be they who, without fear, feed 1915 themselves.” 1916 You have observed the concord of the theologians and apostles, and the harmony of their doctrine. 1907     θεηγόροι .  Codex B gives θεολόγοι . 1908     2 Pet. iii. 3 . 1909     2 Pet. ii. 1 . 1910     θεολόγος . 1911     1 John iii. 10 . 1912     1 John ii. 18 . 1913     Luke xxi. 8 . 1914     1 John iv. 1 . 1915     οἱ ἀφόβως ἑαυτοὺς ποιμαίνοντες , instead of the received οἱ ἀποδιορίζοντες ἑαυτούς . 1916     Jude 18, 19 .
