¹ AND there appeared a great sign in the heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: ² and being with child, she cried out in travailing pain, and in anguish to be delivered. ³ And there appeared another sign in the heaven; and lo! a great fiery dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven crowns. ⁴ And his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them on the earth: and the dragon placed himself before the woman who was ready to be delivered, that when she should bring forth, he might devour her babe. ⁵ And she brought forth a male child, who should rule the nations with an iron sceptre: and her infant was caught up to God, and his throne. ⁶ And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that she might there be fed during a thousand two hundred and sixty days. ⁷ Then was there war in the heaven: Michael and his angels warred against the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels, ⁸ and they could not prevail; neither was there any more place found for them in the heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the Devil, and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice saying in the heaven, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they have vanquished him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death. ¹² Therefore be exceeding glad ye heavens, and ye who dwell in them.

⁸ he that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning the devil sinneth. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. ⁹ Every one who is born of God, doth not practise sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. ¹⁰ By this the children of God are manifestly seen, and the children of the devil. Every one that doth not practise righteousness, is not of God, and he that loveth not his brother.

²⁴ But to you I say, and to the rest that are at Thyatira, as many as do not hold this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak, I will lay upon them no other burden.

⁹ Behold, I give thee out of Satan's synagogue those who say they are Jews, yet they are not, but do lie. Lo! I will make them that they shall come and prostrate themselves at thy feet, and they shall know that I have loved thee.

¹ AND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss [of hell].

²⁰ And the residue of mankind, who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of wood, and of stone: which can neither see nor hear, nor walk:

¹⁴ and deceiveth the inhabitants of the earth by the signs, which he is enabled to perform before the beast, saying to the dwellers upon the earth, that they should make an image for the beast who had the stroke of the sword, and survived.

¹⁴ For they are the spirits of demons doing wonders, which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole habitable globe, to gather them together unto the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

²³ and never shall the light of a lamp shine in thee any more; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard in thee no more: because thy merchants were the grandees of the earth; because all nations were deluded by thy magical incantation.

²⁰ And the beast was seized upon, and with him the false prophet who performed the wonders before him, by which he deceived those who received the brand of the beast, and those who worshipped his image. They were both hurled alive into the lake of fire which burneth with brimstone.

² and he seized on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, ³ and cast him into the abyss, and shut him up, and put a seal upon it, that he might deceive the nations no more until the thousand years are completed: and after that he must be loosed a short time.

⁸ and he shall go forth to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

¹⁰ And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

¹⁰ Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

⁶⁴ Jesus saith to him, Thou hast spoken [the fact]. Moreover I tell you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

¹⁸ Then Jesus approaching, spake to them, saying, All power is given me in heaven and upon earth.

² And he said unto them, When ye pray say, Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done as in heaven so upon earth.

⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ye being assembled together and my spirit with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

³ That the elder women also be sacredly becoming in their behaviour, not slanderers, not enslaved by much wine, teachers of propriety;

²⁶ And he who overcometh, and perseveres in my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations;

¹⁰ and crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb.

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of the world are become our Lord's, and his Messiah's, and he shall reign for ever and ever.

¹ AND after these things I heard a loud sound as of a vast multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah: Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power be to the Lord our God: ² because true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, that corrupted the earth with her whoredom, and hath avenged the blood of his servants shed by her hand. ³ And the second time they said, Hallelujah. And her smoke ascended up for ever and ever. ⁴ And the four and twenty presbyters fell prostrate, and the four living beings, and they worshipped God who was seated on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah. ⁵ And there came a voice out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye servants of his, and all that fear him, both the small and the great. ⁶ And I heard as it were the voice of a vast multitude, and as the noise of many waters, and as the roar of mighty thunderings, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. ⁷ Let us rejoice and exult, and give him glory: because the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his bride hath made herself ready.

²⁶ If any man cometh after me, and hateth not father, and mother, and wife and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

³³ These things have I spoken to you, that ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good courage; I have overcome the world.

²⁴ Yet I make no account of any [suffering], nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully the Gospel of the grace of God.

¹³ But Paul replied, Why do ye thus—weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

³ For though we walk in the flesh, we war not after the flesh: ⁴ for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the casting down the strong holds [of corruption]; ⁵ laying low proud reasonings, and every high thing which exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and making every thought captive to the obedience of Christ:

¹³ Therefore take the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all things to stand. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, girded about your loins with truth, and putting on the breastplate of righteousness; ¹⁵ and underneath your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ and over all lifting up the shield of faith, with which ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: ¹⁸ praying at every opportunity with all prayer and supplication in Spirit, and watching for this very purpose with perseverance and intercession for all the saints;

⁷ I have struggled hard in the honourable contest, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith: ⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: yet not to me only, but also to all who have loved his appearing.

¹⁴ Seeing therefore that the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself, in exact resemblance, partook of the same, that by death he might destroy him who held the power of death, that is, the devil; ¹⁵ and deliver those, even as many as through their whole life were subjects of bondage to the fear of death.

³⁵ Women received by a resurrection their dead: but others were tortured, not accepting a release; that they might obtain a better resurrection: ³⁶ and others had trials of mockeries and whippings, yea and farther of chains and imprisonment: ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they experienced the severest trials, they were slain by the edge of the sword: they went about wrapped in skins of sheep and goats, destitute of all things, pressed down with afflictions, suffering all kind of misery; ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy: they wandered up and down in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens, and caverns of the earth.

¹³ I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. ¹⁴ I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him, who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

⁴ Ye are of God, my dear children, and have overcome them; because he that is in you is greater than he that is in the world.

⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, except he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

² who was a witness for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ, and for the things which he saw.

⁹ I John, your brother and companion also with you in the tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island which is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

⁷ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches, To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

¹⁰ Fear nothing from the things which thou shalt suffer: lo! the devil will cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have a ten day's tribulation: be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee a crown of life. ¹¹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. He that overcometh shall receive no injury from the second death.

¹⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches, To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white pebble, and upon the pebble a new name inscribed, which no man knoweth except the person who receiveth it.

⁵ He that overcometh, this man shall be clothed in white robes; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

¹² He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall never more go out from thence: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.

²¹ He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit on my throne, as I also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father on his throne.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they maintained.

¹⁰ and crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb. ¹¹ And all the angels stood in a circle about the throne, and the presbyters and the four living beings, and fell on their faces before the throne, and worshipped God, ¹² saying, Amen: blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might be to our God for ever and ever. Amen. ¹³ And one of the presbyters addressed me, saying, Who are these persons who are clothed in white robes? and from whence came they? ¹⁴ And I said to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are persons who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁷ And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast which ascendeth out of hell shall make war with them, and shall overcome them, and put them to death.

¹⁷ And the dragon was incensed against the woman, and went forth to make war against the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹ AND I saw, and lo, a lamb stood upon the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having the name of his Father inscribed on their foreheads. ² And I heard a voice from heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the roar of loud thunder; and I heard the sound of harpers harping on their harps: ³ and they sang as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living beings, and the presbyters: and no person could learn that song, but the hundred forty-four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth. ⁴ These are they who have not defiled themselves with women; for they are virgins: these are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth: these have been redeemed among men, as first-fruits to God, and to the Lamb.

² And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire; and those who had obtained the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name standing upon the sea of glass, holding the harps of God. ³ And they sung the sacred ode of Moses the servant of the Lord, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, O Lord God Almighty; righteous and true are thy ways, O King of saints.

¹⁰ And I fell down before his feet to worship him: and he said unto me, See thou dost not so: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and persons were seated upon them, and authority to judge was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast, nor his image, and had not received the brand in their foreheads, and upon their right hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

¹⁴ Glory in the highest heavens to God! and upon earth, peace! towards men complacence.

¹⁰ Even so, I tell you, there is joy among the angels of God, over one repentant sinner.

³⁷ For yet a little, very little while, and he that is coming will come, and will not delay.

⁸ But let not this particular be concealed from you, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

¹³ And I saw and heard one angel flying in the mid-heavens, saying with a loud voice, Wo, wo, wo, to the dwellers upon earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels, which are ready to sound.

¹² One woe is past; and, behold, there are coming yet two woes after these.

⁶ and he swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things which are therein, and the earth and the things which are in it, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that time shall be no longer:

¹⁰ And the dwellers upon earth will rejoice over them, and be very glad, and will send gifts to each other; because these two prophets were a torment to those who dwell on the earth.

¹⁴ The second woe is past; behold the third woe is coming quickly.

²⁰ Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye the holy apostles and prophets, for God hath adjudged her to punishment, for the judgment inflicted on you by her.

³ And there appeared another sign in the heaven; and lo! a great fiery dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven crowns. ⁴ And his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them on the earth: and the dragon placed himself before the woman who was ready to be delivered, that when she should bring forth, he might devour her babe. ⁵ And she brought forth a male child, who should rule the nations with an iron sceptre: and her infant was caught up to God, and his throne. ⁶ And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that she might there be fed during a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

³ And he bore me away in spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads, and ten horns.

¹⁵ And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, on which the whore sat, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo! I am with you at all times even to the end of the world. Amen.

¹ AND I, when I came to you, brethren, came not with superior excellence of discourse or wisdom, preaching unto you the gospel of God.

³ And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

² Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

¹⁰ He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed on the testimony which God testified of his Son.

¹¹ And they have vanquished him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death. ¹² Therefore be exceeding glad ye heavens, and ye who dwell in them. Wo to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.

¹² Here is the patience of the saints: here are they who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

¹⁴ They shall make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings and they that are with him, are called, and elect, and faithful.

¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war with him that was sitting upon the horse, and with his army.

⁸ and he shall go forth to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. ⁹ And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and encircled the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and there came down fire from God out of heaven, and devoured them up.

¹⁴ Blessed are they who keep his commandments, that they may have authority to approach unto the tree of life, and that they may enter in by the gates into the city.
