“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;”
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons — Paul invokes pneumatic authority (the Spirit expressly says/rhēma) to announce the reality of apostasy in the eschaton. Future false teaching originates in demonic sources (didaskalia daimoniōn), not merely human error.
