Hermas — Similitude 6.1-2

“Do you see this shepherd?” “I see him, Lord.” “This,” he said, “is the angel of luxury and deceit. He wears down the souls of God’s servants and turns them from the truth, deceiving them with the wicked desires in which they perish.

They forget the commandments of the living God and walk in deceits and empty luxuries, and they are ruined by this angel — some unto death, some unto corruption.”
