2 Corinthians 11:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 And no marvel: for Satan himself is transformed into an Angel of [a]light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers transform themselves, as though they were the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.
16 [b]I say again, Let no man think that I am foolish, or else take me even as a fool, that I also may boast myself a little.
