Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.

有言感於聖神者、良朋勿信、當試之其真由上帝出否、蓋在世多偽先知云、

可愛者乎、有自言感於神者、爾勿概信、當試其神由天主出否、蓋世多有偽先知出、

望我愛友、勿泛信一切靈感、應細心察驗其靈感之是否淵源天主。蓋偽先知已蠭起於世矣。

But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves.

Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.

I know that false teachers, like vicious wolves, will come in among you after I leave, not sparing the flock.

He replied,“ Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming,‘ I am the Messiah,’ and saying,‘ The time has come!’ But don’t believe them.

This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:“ Do not let your prophets and fortune tellers who are with you in the land of Babylon trick you. Do not listen to their dreams,because they are telling you lies in my name. I have not sent them,” says the Lord.

But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.

Only simpletons believe everything they’re told! The prudent carefully consider their steps.

“ Suppose there are prophets among you or those who dream dreams about the future, and they promise you signs or miracles,and the predicted signs or miracles occur. If they then say,‘ Come, let us worship other gods’— gods you have not known before—do not listen to them. The Lord your God is testing you to see if you truly love him with all your heart and soul.Serve only the Lord your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him.The false prophets or visionaries who try to lead you astray must be put to death, for they encourage rebellion against the Lord your God, who redeemed you from slavery and brought you out of the land of Egypt. Since they try to lead you astray from the way the Lord your God commanded you to live, you must put them to death. In this way you will purge the evil from among you.

“ Then if anyone tells you,‘ Look, here is the Messiah,’ or‘ There he is,’ don’t believe it.For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones.See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.“ So if someone tells you,‘ Look, the Messiah is out in the desert,’ don’t bother to go and look. Or,‘ Look, he is hiding here,’ don’t believe it!

And the people of Berea were more open minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.

“ Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right?

“ I know all the things you do. I have seen your hard work and your patient endurance. I know you don’t tolerate evil people. You have examined the claims of those who say they are apostles but are not. You have discovered they are liars.

the prophets give false prophecies, and the priests rule with an iron hand. Worse yet, my people like it that way! But what will you do when the end comes?

“ Then if anyone tells you,‘ Look, here is the Messiah,’ or‘ There he is,’ don’t believe it.

Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to be wise in doing right and to stay innocent of any wrong.
