Matthew 24:5-14

Goodspeed(i) 5 For many will come under my name, and say, 'I am the Christ,' and many will be misled by them. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of war; do not let yourselves be alarmed. They have to come, but that is not the end. 7 For nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes here and there. 8 All this is only the beginning of the sufferings. 9 Then they will hand you over to persecution and they will put you to death, and you will be hated by all the heathen because you bear my name. 10 Then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 Many false prophets will appear, and many will be misled by them, 12 and because of the increase of wickedness, most men's love will grow cold. 13 But he who holds out to the end will be saved. 14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached all over the world, to testify to all the heathen, and then the end will come.
