So the LORD God said to the woman,“What is this you have done?” And the woman replied,“The serpent tricked me, and I ate.”

Secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those that are revealed belong to us and our descendants forever, so that we might obey all the words of this law.

By David. I will give you thanks with all my heart; before the heavenly assembly I will sing praises to you.

This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit but have seen nothing!

For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or the things they insist on so confidently.

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfishness in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.

I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have so that no one can take away your crown.

and all those who live on the earth will worship the beast, everyone whose name has not been written since the foundation of the world in the book of life belonging to the Lamb who was killed.

So I threw myself down at his feet to worship him, but he said,“Do not do this! I am only a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony about Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
