Acts 13:8-10
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9 Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 10 and said, “O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
Those opposed to God do all they can to keep others from hearing about Jesus Christ and His work. They deceive and knowingly defraud others into unrighteousness to their gain and others' harm. But God is not mocked; here Paul looked straight and boldly at the deceiver in his follower and pointed out the twisting of God's straight way into another which is no real way but to perdition.
