nature, for he is a liar and the father of it. And
          because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.

          6 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
          transforming  themselves  into  the  apostles  of
          Christ.  And  no  marvel,  for  Satan  himself,  is

          transformed into an angel of light. Therefore,

          and  mourn,  and  weep:  let  your  laughter  be

          turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
          Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and
