¹² Behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me to render to each man as his work will be ¹³ -I, the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

¹⁶ I, Jesus, have sent my agent to testify these things to you for the congregations. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.

⁹ Yet the righteous shall hold on his way. And he who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.

¹² So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.

²⁴ Because I have called, and ye have refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man has regarded, ²⁵ but ye have made all my counsel void, and want none of my reproof, ²⁶ I also will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when your fear comes, ²⁷ when your fear comes as a storm, and your calamity comes on as a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. ²⁸ Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me, ²⁹ because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of LORD. ³⁰ They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof. ³¹ Therefore they shall eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. ³² For the backsliding of the simple shall kill them, and the careless ease of fools shall destroy them. ³³ But he who hearkens to me shall dwell securely, and shall be quiet without fear of evil.

¹⁸ But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.

³² An evil man is thrust down in his evil-doing, but a righteous man has hope in his death.

³ If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth, and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there shall it be.

²⁷ But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shall say to them, Thus says the lord LORD. He who hears, let him hear, and he who forbears, let him forbear, for they are a rebellious house.

¹⁰ Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.

⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled.

¹⁴ Leave them. They are blind leaders of blind men, and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a ditch.

¹⁹ And having seen a fig tree, one on the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, except leaves only. And he says to it, Let fruit no longer be produced from thee into the age. And immediately the fig tree dried out.

¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And the prepared entered in with him for the wedding festivities, and the door was shut.

²¹ Jesus therefore again said to them, I go, and ye will seek me, and ye will die in your sin. Where I go, ye cannot come.

²⁷ so that he might present it to himself, the glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and unblemished.

²² in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblemished and unblameable before him.

¹³ But evil men and impostors will go forward to worse, leading astray and being led astray.

²⁴ Now to him who is able to keep them non-stumbling, and to present before his glory, unblemished in gladness,

¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these who are clothed in white robes, and where did they come from? ¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou know. And he said to me, These are those coming out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Because of this they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. And he who sits on the throne will dwell among them.

⁸ And the fourth agent poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was given him to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And the men were scorched with great heat. And the men blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues, and they did not repent to give him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth agent poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast, and its kingdom became darkened, and they gnawed their tongues from the anguish. ¹¹ And they blasphemed the God of heaven from their pains and from their sores. And they did not repent of their works.

²¹ And great hail, like a talent weight, descended out of the sky upon men. And the men blasphemed God from the plague of the hail, because the plague of it was exceedingly great.

³ And there will be no curse there. And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his bondmen will serve him.

¹⁰ Say ye of the righteous, that it is well, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. ¹¹ Woe to the wicked! It is ill with him, for what his hands have done shall be done to him.

¹⁰ Behold, the lord LORD will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

¹¹ Behold, LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

¹⁴ The great day of LORD is near. It is near and hastens greatly, the voice of the day of LORD. The mighty man cries there bitterly.

²⁷ For the Son of man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his agents, and then he will reward each man according to his actions.

⁶ who will render to each man according to his works, ⁷ to those who indeed seek by perseverance of good work, glory and esteem and immortality-eternal life- ⁸ but to those of self-interest, and who indeed disobey the truth but have confidence in unrighteousness-anger and wrath, ⁹ pressure and restriction, upon every soul of man who produces evil, both of the Jew first, and of the Greek, ¹⁰ but glory and esteem and peace to every man who works good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek. ¹¹ For there is no partiality with God.

¹² So then each of us will give account about himself to God.

⁸ Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each man will receive his own payment according to his own labor.

¹⁴ If any man's work that he built on will remain, he will receive benefit.

¹⁷ For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission. ¹⁸ What then is my reward? That, while preaching the good news, I may make the good news of the Christ without charge, in order not to make full use of my right in the good news.

¹⁸ And the nations were angry. And thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to thy bondmen the prophets, and to the sanctified, and to those who fear thy name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.

¹² And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the one of life. And the dead were judged from the things that were written in the books, according to their works.

⁴ Who has wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, LORD, the first, and with the last, I am he.

⁶ Thus says LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, LORD of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.

¹² Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I also am the last.

⁸ I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord, the God who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.

¹¹ saying, What thou see, write in a book and send to the seven congregations: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not, I am the first and the last,

³ Blessed are those who keep justice, and he who does righteousness at all times. ⁴ Remember me, O LORD, with the favor that thou bear to thy people. O visit me with thy salvation, ⁵ that I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

¹ Praise ye LORD. Blessed is the man who fears LORD, who delights greatly in his commandments.

¹ Blessed are those who are perfect in the way, who walk in the law of LORD. ² Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart. ³ Yea, they do no unrighteousness. They walk in his ways. ⁴ Thou have commanded thy precepts, that we should observe them diligently. ⁵ O that my ways were established to observe thy statutes! ⁶ Then I shall not be put to shame when I have respect for all thy commandments.

¹ Thus says LORD, Keep ye justice, and do righteousness. For my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. ² Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.

¹² Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

²¹ Not every man who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who does the will of my Father in the heavens. ²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? ²³ And then I will profess to them, I never acknowledged you. Depart from me, ye who work lawlessness. ²⁴ Therefore every man, whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock. ²⁵ And the rain descended, and the torrents came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded upon the rock. ²⁶ And every man who hears these sayings of mine, and does not do them, will be compared to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand. ²⁷ And the rain descended, and the torrents came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell. And great was the fall of it.

³⁷ Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord when he comes will find watching. Truly I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to sit down, and having come, will serve them. ³⁸ And if he should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch, and find so, blessed are those bondmen.

¹² Are thou greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his livestock?

⁷ Jesus therefore said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, that I am the door of the sheep.

⁹ I am the door. If any man enters in by me, he will be saved, and will come in and go out, and will find pasture.

⁶ Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, except by me.

¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments.

²¹ He who has my commandments, and keeps them, that man it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas (not Iscariot) says to him, Lord, and what has happened that thou are going to manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make a dwelling with him.

¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye will dwell in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and dwell in his love. ¹¹ These things I have spoken to you that my joy may dwell in you, and your joy may be full. ¹² This is my commandment, that ye love each other, just as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no man than this, that some man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do as many things as I command you.

¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, instead, the keeping of God's commandments.

⁹ But take heed lest somehow this privilege of yours becomes a stumbling-block to those who are weak.

⁵ Have we no, not a right to lead about a sister wife, as also the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

³ And every man who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that man is pure.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love each other, just as he gave command. ²⁴ And he who keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, from the Spirit that he gave us.

³ For this is the love of God, that we may keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou know. And he said to me, These are those coming out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹² which has a great and high wall having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve agents, and names inscribed, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel:

²⁷ And there will, no, not enter into it anything profane, and doing an abomination and a lie, since they are not written in the Lamb's book of life.

² in the middle of its thoroughfare. And on this side of the river and on that was a tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit according to each month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

⁸ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, there is yet one man by whom we may inquire of LORD, Micaiah the son of Imlah, but I hate him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

²¹ And there came forth a spirit, and stood before LORD, and said, I will entice him. ²² And LORD said to him, With what? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shall entice him, and shall also prevail. Go forth, and do so. ²³ Now therefore, behold, LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and LORD has spoken evil concerning thee.

¹⁵ The elder and the honorable man, he is the head. And the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail. ¹⁶ For those who lead this people cause them to err, and those who are led by them are destroyed.

⁹ But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day: the loss of sons, and widowhood. In their full measure they shall come upon thee, in the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments.

¹² Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou have labored from thy youth, if so be thou shall be able to profit, if so be thou may prevail.

³ But draw near here, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.

³¹ The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means. And my people love to have it so. And what will ye do in the end thereof?

⁵ And I will come near to you to judgment, and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the false swearers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who turn aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says LORD of hosts.

¹² but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every man who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be exposed. ²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me about sin? And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?

¹¹ And they heeded him, because he fascinated them for a considerable time with the sorceries.

⁶ And after going through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus, ⁷ who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man, having summoned Barnabas and Saul, sought to hear the word of God. ⁸ But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) opposed them, seeking to deviate the proconsul from the faith. ⁹ But Saul (the man is also Paul) having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having gazed on him, ¹⁰ said, O man full of all deceit and all recklessness, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, will thou not cease distorting the straight ways of the Lord? ¹¹ And now, behold, a hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou will be blind, not seeing the sun until a time. And immediately there fell on him gloom and darkness, and going around he sought hand-guides.

⁹ Or know ye not that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not led astray. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate men, nor homosexuals, ¹⁰ nor greedy men, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the slanderous, nor the predatory will inherit the kingdom of God.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are apparent, which are, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strifes, jealousies, wraths, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, ²¹ envyings, murders, intoxications, revelings, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, as I also did forewarn, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or greed, shall not even be named among you as befits the sanctified, ⁴ also indecency, and foolish talking or jesting, things not befitting, but thankfulness instead. ⁵ For ye are men who know this, that no fornicator, or unclean man, or covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God. ⁶ Let no man deceive you by empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

² Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workmen, beware of the excision.

⁶ Because of which the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience,

¹⁰ and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, in return for which, they did not accept the love of the truth in order for them to be saved. ¹¹ And because of this God will send them the force of a delusion, for them to believe a lie, ¹² so that they might be condemned-all those who did not believe the truth, but who delighted in unrighteousness.

²⁰ And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so that they would not worship the demons, and the golden and silver and brass and stone and wooden idols, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. ²¹ And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

¹ And one of the seven agents who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great whore who sits upon the many waters ² with whom the kings of the earth fornicated, and those who inhabit the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication. ³ And he carried me away in spirit into a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast containing names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup containing abominations and the filthy things of her fornication, ⁵ and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. ⁶ And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the sanctified, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And having seen her, I wondered with great amazement.

⁸ But for the cowards, and unbelieving, and sinful, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

¹⁷ I see him, but not now. I behold him, but not near. There shall come forth a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of tumult.

¹ And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse. And a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit.

¹² And speak to him, saying, Thus speaks LORD of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch. And he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of LORD,

¹ A book of a genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

² Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.

⁷ Then Herod having called the wise men privately, ascertained from them what time the star appeared. ⁸ And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, After going, search diligently about the child. And when ye find him, report to me, so that I also having come, may worship him. ⁹ And when they heard the king, they departed. And lo, the star that they saw in the east went before them until, having come, it stood over where the child was. ¹⁰ And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

⁴² What does it seem to you about the Christ? Whose son is he? They say to him, Of David.

⁴⁵ If David therefore calls him Lord, how is he his son?

⁷⁸ because of the bowels of mercy of our God, by which the dayspring from on high came to help us,

³ concerning his Son who was made from the seed of David according to flesh. ⁴ He who was designated Son of God in power, according to a spirit of holiness, from a resurrection of the dead-Jesus Christ our Lord-

⁵ of whom are the fathers, and from whom (according to flesh) is the Christ, God who is over all is blessed into the ages. Truly.

¹⁹ And we have the prophetic word sure, to which ye do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar arises in your hearts.

⁴ John, to the seven congregations in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,

¹¹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. He who overcomes will, no, not be hurt from the second death.

¹⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To him who overcomes, I will give him to eat of the hidden manna. And I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which none knows except he who receives it.

²⁸ And I will give him the morning star. ²⁹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

⁶ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

¹³ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

²² He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.

⁵ And one of the elders says to me, Weep not, behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame to open the book and the seven seals of it.

⁶ And he says to me, These words are faithful and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his agent to show to his bondmen the things that must quickly come to pass.

¹¹ Let the man doing wrong still do wrong, and let the filthy man still be filthy. And let the righteous man still do righteousness, and let the holy man still be holy.

⁸ O taste and see that LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

³ And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of LORD from Jerusalem.

⁵ O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of LORD.

³ Therefore with joy ye shall draw water out of the wells of salvation.

¹⁶ Come ye near to me, hear ye this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret. From the time that it was, there I am. And now the lord LORD and his Spirit has sent me. ¹⁷ Thus says LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am LORD thy God, who teaches thee to profit, who leads thee by the way that thou should go. ¹⁸ Oh that thou had hearkened to my commandments! Then thy peace would have been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.

¹ Ho, everyone who thirsts, come ye to the waters. And he who has no money, come ye, buy, and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. ² Why do ye spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. ³ Incline your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul shall live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the faithful holy things of David.

⁵ They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces toward it, saying, Come ye, and join yourselves to LORD in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.

² And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of LORD from Jerusalem.

²¹ And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of LORD, and to seek LORD of hosts. I will go also. ²² Yea, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of LORD. ²³ Thus says LORD of hosts: In those days, ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they shall take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.

³⁹ He says to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and remained with him that day. It was about the tenth hour. ⁴⁰ Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard from John and who followed him. ⁴¹ This man first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ). ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. And having seen him, Jesus said, Thou are Simon the son of Jonah. Thou will be called Cephas (which is interpreted, Peter). ⁴³ On the morrow he wanted to go forth into Galilee, and he finds Philip. And Jesus says to him, Follow me. ⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth. ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, What good can be from Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If thou had known the gift of God, and who it is who says to thee, Give me to drink, thou would have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.

²⁹ Come, see a man who told me all, as many things as I did. Is not this the Christ?

³⁷ Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus had stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

²⁴ being made righteous freely by his grace, through the redemption in Christ Jesus,

¹² But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit from God, so that we might know the things graciously given to us by God.

⁵ because the good news from us happened to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, as ye know what kind of men we became among you, because of you. ⁶ And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit, ⁷ in order for you to become examples to all those who believe, in Macedonia and in Achaia. ⁸ For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.

² And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having been prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

⁹ And there came one of the seven agents who had the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues, and he spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show thee the woman, the bride of the Lamb.

¹⁸ And if for these things ye will not yet hearken to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

²⁴ then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins. ²⁵ And I will bring a sword upon you that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together within your cities. And I will send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

²⁸ then I will walk contrary to you in wrath, and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

³⁷ And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when no man pursues. And ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

² Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of LORD your God which I command you.

³² Whatever thing I command you, that shall ye observe to do. Thou shall not add to it, nor diminish from it.

⁶ Add thou not to his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

⁶ And he will, no, not honor his father or mother. And ye have annulled the command of God because of your tradition. ⁷ Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying, ⁸ This people comes near me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips, but their heart is far distant from me. ⁹ And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

¹³ But having answered, he said, Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant, will be uprooted.

¹⁷ This I say therefore, and solemnly declare in the Lord, for you to walk no longer as also the other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

⁶ not to transgress and to cheat his brother in the affair, because the Lord is vengeful about all these things, as also we forewarned you and solemnly testified.

¹⁴ And to the agent of the congregation in Laodicea write, These things says the Truly, the faithful and true witness, the primacy of the creation of God:

¹⁰ he also himself will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which was mixed undiluted in the cup of his anger. And he will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy agents and before the Lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascends into the ages of ages. And they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and its image, and if any man receives the mark of its name.

¹ And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven agents having seven plagues, the last, because in them the wrath of God is ended.

⁶ And the seven agents came forth from the temple having the seven plagues, who were clothed in pure bright linen, and golden belts girded around their breasts. ⁷ And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven agents seven golden bowls containing the wrath of God who lives into the ages of the ages. ⁸ And the temple became full of vapor from the glory of God and from his power. And none was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven agents were ended.

⁶ Because they poured out the blood of the sanctified and prophets, and thou have given them blood to drink; they are deserving. ⁷ And I heard the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. ⁸ And the fourth agent poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was given him to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And the men were scorched with great heat. And the men blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues, and they did not repent to give him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth agent poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast, and its kingdom became darkened, and they gnawed their tongues from the anguish. ¹¹ And they blasphemed the God of heaven from their pains and from their sores. And they did not repent of their works. ¹² And the sixth agent poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates, and the water of it was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared. ¹³ And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. ¹⁴ For they are spirits of demons, doing signs that go forth to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together to the battle of that great day of the Almighty God. ¹⁵ (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, so that he may not walk naked, and they see his shame.) ¹⁶ And he gathered them together into the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. ¹⁷ And the seventh agent poured out his bowl upon the air, and a great voice came forth out of the temple of heaven, out of the throne, saying, It has come to pass. ¹⁸ And there occurred lightnings, and thunders, and voices. And a great earthquake occurred, such as did not happen from that time men came to be upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, so great. ¹⁹ And the great city became in three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And the great Babylon was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger. ²⁰ And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. ²¹ And great hail, like a talent weight, descended out of the sky upon men. And the men blasphemed God from the plague of the hail, because the plague of it was exceedingly great.

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and the false prophet with it who did the signs in its sight by which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast and those who worship its image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.

¹⁰ And the devil who leads them astray was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also were the beast and the false prophet. And they will be tormented day and night into the ages of the ages.

¹⁵ And if any man was found not written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

³³ And LORD said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

²⁸ Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

⁵² Woe to you lawyers! Because ye took away the key of knowledge. Ye did not enter in yourselves, and ye hindered those who were entering in.

¹⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. To him who overcomes, I will give him to eat of the hidden manna. And I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which none knows except he who receives it. ¹⁸ And to the agent of the congregation in Thyatira write, These things says the Son of God, who has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet resembling highly refined metal:

²⁶ And he who overcomes, and he who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.

⁴ But thou have a few names in Sardis who did not defile their garments. And they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy. ⁵ He who overcomes, this man will be clothed in white garments, and I will, no, not erase his name out of the book of life. And I will acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his agents.

⁹ After these things, I looked and lo, a great multitude, which none could number, out of every nation, and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands, ¹⁰ and crying out in a great voice, saying, Salvation is in our God who sits upon the throne, and in the Lamb! ¹¹ And all the agents had stood all around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell before his throne on their faces, and worshiped God, ¹² saying, Truly! Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength, is for our God into the ages of the ages. Truly! ¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these who are clothed in white robes, and where did they come from? ¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou know. And he said to me, These are those coming out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁸ And all who dwell upon the earth will worship it, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb who was killed from the foundation of the world.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, says the Spirit, so that they may rest from their toils, and their works follow with them.

²² And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is the temple of it, and the Lamb. ²³ And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, so that they might shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it, and the light of it is the Lamb. ²⁴ And the nations will walk by the light of it. And the kings of the earth bring to them the splendor and worth of the nations into it. ²⁵ And the gates of it will, no, not be locked by day, for there will be no night there. ²⁶ And they will bring the splendor and the worth of the nations into it. ²⁷ And there will, no, not enter into it anything profane, and doing an abomination and a lie, since they are not written in the Lamb's book of life.

¹⁴ Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

⁹ And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God. We have waited for him, and he will save us. This is LORD. We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

²⁵ And there are also many other things, as many as Jesus did, which if they would be written every one, I suppose not even the world itself to make room for the books being written. Truly.

²² If any man does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Maranatha.

⁸ Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

²⁸ so also the Christ, having been offered once in order to take up the sins of many, will appear a second time, independent of sin, to those waiting for him for salvation.

¹² anticipating and hastening the coming of the day of God, by which the heavens, being made fiery hot, will be disintegrated, and the elements dissolve, being intensely hot? ¹³ But we anticipate a new heavens and a new earth according to his promise, in which righteousness dwells. ¹⁴ Therefore, beloved, anticipating these things, be diligent to be found by him in peace, without spot and blameless.

² who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he saw.

¹⁸ and he who lives. And I became dead, and behold, I am living into the ages of the ages. Truly. And I have the keys of death and of Hades.

⁷ To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, to the called, to the sanctified: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁰ And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you.

²³ Gaius my host, and of the whole congregation, salutes you. Erastus, the manager of the city, salutes you, and Quartus the brother.

¹⁴ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with all of you. Truly.

²³ Peace to the brothers, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ The grace is with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptibility. Truly.

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with all of you. Truly.
