The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
Chapter 11 Verses 12-15
12 But what I do, that will I do, that I may cut
away occasion from them which desire occasion, that
they might be found like unto us in that wherein
they rejoice.
13 For such false apostles are deceitful workers, and
transform themselves into the Apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel: for Satan himself is transformed
into an Angel of 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.

Editor’s notation - Some notes from the Geneva Bible
Paul’s adversaries sought all occasions they could, to be equal to him. And therefore seeing they had rather eat up the Corinthians, than preach to them for nothing, they sought another occasion,
to wit, to make Paul to take something: which thing if he had done, then hoped they by that means to be equal to him: for they made such a show of zeal and knowledge, and set it forth with such a glossing kind of eloquence, that some of them even despised Paul: but he showeth that all this is nothing but colors and painting. Now at length he pointeth out these fellows in their colors, forewarning that it will come to pass, that they will at length betray themselves, what countenance soever they make of zeal that they have to God’s glory. By light is meant the heavenly glory, whereof the Angels are partakers.
