Got a scripture for that?

Many. II Corinthians 11:13-15 speaks of such:

Our interpretation of this is no, you don't. However, Paul will do as a standalone replacement for Jesus, right?

Nobody is forcing anyone to accept the grace of God and the free gift of salvation through faith.

I’m sure that if you want to be judged based on your works, God will be more than willing to accommodate you, as indeed that is the only choice you’ve left Him.

It’s rather sobering to watch someone willfully choose damnation.

Sorry, but I have no idea what makes you think this verse makes Paul a "standalone replacement for Jesus". That's just goofy. The question was about the devil and his counterfeiting what God does. The verse in II Corinthians 11:13-15 speaks EXACTLY of this. Here, I'll quote it again:

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Pray tell, why do you not think this is speaking of the devil, you know - SATAN? Why would Satan be posing as an angel of light and his demons as ministers of righteousness if not to deceive, mislead and counterfeit the truths of God? Was Paul just talking about Halloween???
