ACV(i)
9 And when ye may hear of wars and tumults, do not be alarmed, for these things must first happen, but the end is not straightaway.
10 Then he said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 And great earthquakes will be in various places, and famines and plagues. And there will be fearful sights and great signs from the sky.
12 But before all these things, they will throw their hands on you, and will persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13 But it will go out from you for testimony.
14 Settle therefore in your hearts not to premeditate to make defense.
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom that all those who oppose you will not be able to contradict or to resist.
16 And ye will be betrayed even by parents, and kinsmen, and friends, and brothers. And some of you they will condemn to death.
17 And ye will be hated by all men because of my name.
18 And, no, not a hair of your head will perish.
19 In your perseverance ye gain your souls.
