¹ And I saw, out of the sea, a wild–beast coming up; having ten horns, and seven heads, and, upon his horns, ten diadems, and, upon his head, names of blasphemy. ² And, the beast which I saw, was like unto a leopard; and, his feet, as of a bear, and, his mouth, as the mouth of a lion.

And the whole earth marveled after the wild–beast, ⁴ and did homage unto the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the wild–beast; and they did homage unto the wild–beast, saying––Who is like unto the wild–beast? and Who can make war with him? ⁵ And there was given unto him, a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and it was given unto him to act, forty and two months. ⁶ And he opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tent,––them, who, in heaven were tabernacling. ⁷ [And it was given unto him, to make war with the saints, and to overcome them;] and there was given him, authority against every tribe and people and tongue and nation. ⁸ And all they who are dwelling upon the earth will do homage unto him,––[every one] whose name is not written in the scroll of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. ⁹ If any–one hath an ear: let him hear. ¹⁰ If anyone [carrieth] into captivity, into captivity, he goeth away. If anyone, with a sword, doth slay, he must, with a sword, be slain. Here, is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

²³ Thus, he said, The fourth wild beast, is a fourth kingdom which shall be in the earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms,––and shall devour all the earth, and shall trample it down, and break it in pieces. ²⁴ And, the ten horns of that kingdom, are ten kings who will arise,––and, another, will arise after them, and, he, will be diverse from the former ones, and, three kings, will he cast down; ²⁵ and, words against the Most High, will he speak, and, the holy ones of the Highest, will he afflict,––and will hope to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand, for a season and seasons and the dividing of a season,

And they who are dwelling upon the earth whose name is not written upon the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished, when they see the wild–beast, because it was, and is not, and shall be present. ⁹ Here, is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads, are, seven mountains, whereupon the woman sitteth; ¹⁰ and they are, seven kings: the five, have fallen, the one, is, the other, hath not yet come; and, whensoever he shall come, a little while, must he remain, ¹¹ and the wild–beast which was and is not. And he, is an eighth, and is, of the seven,––and, into destruction, goeth away. ¹² And, the ten horns which thou sawest, are, ten kings,––who, indeed, have not received, sovereignty, as yet, but, authority, as kings, for one hour, shall receive, with the wild–beast.

²³ Can, the Ethiopian, change, his skin, Or, the leopard, his spots? Even, ye, may be able to do right, Who are accustomed to do wrong.

⁴ The foremost, like a lion, having, the wings of an eagle,––I looked until the wings thereof, were torn out, and it was lifted up from the earth, and, upon its feet, like a man, was it caused to stand, and, the heart of a man, was given to it. ⁵ And, lo! another wild beast, a second, resembling a bear, and, on one side, was it raised up, with three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth,––and, thus, were they saying to it, Rise! devour much flesh. ⁶ After that, I was looking, and lo! another like a leopard, and it, had four wings of a bird upon its back,––and four heads, had the wild beast, and dominion, was given to it, ⁷ After that, I was looking in the visions of the night, when lo! a fourth wild beast, terrible and well–hipped and exceeding strong, and it had, large teeth of iron, it devoured and brake in pieces, and, the residue––with its feet, it trampled down,––and, it, was diverse from all the wild beasts that were before it, and it had, ten horns.

¹⁰ After Yahweh, let them go, Like a lion, will he roar,––When, he, shall roar, then let sons, come trembling, out of the West.

⁷ Therefore am I become to them as a lion,––As a leopard by the way, do I watch. ⁸ I will fall upon them as a bear bereaved, and will read asunder the enclosure of their heart,––that I may devour them there, like a lioness, the wild beast of the field, shall tear them in pieces.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out,––the ancient serpent, he that is called Adversary and the Satan, that deceiveth the whole habitable world,––he was cast to the earth, and his messengers, with him, were cast.

¹³ And, when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he pursued the woman who had brought forth the manchild.

¹⁵ And the serpent cast out of his mouth, after the woman, water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.

¹⁰ Unto whom all were giving heed, from small even to great, saying––This, is the Power of God, which is called Great. ¹¹ And they were giving heed to him, because that, for a considerable time, with his magical arts, he had astonished them.

¹³ And, Simon himself also, believed; and, having been immersed, was in constant attendance on Philip,––and, beholding signs and great works of power coming to pass, was astonished.

⁹ Whose, presence, [shall be] according to an inworking of Satan, with all manner of mighty work and signs and wonders of falsehood, ¹⁰ And with all manner of deceit of unrighteousness, in them who are destroying themselves, because, the love of the truth, they did not welcome, that they might be saved; –– ¹¹ And, for this cause, God sendeth them an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood,–– ¹² In order that should be judged who would not believe in the truth, but were well–pleased with the unrighteousness.

¹⁴ and he deceiveth them who are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the signs which it was given him to do before the wild–beast,––saying unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, that they should make an image unto the wild–beast who hath the stroke of the sword, and yet did live.

⁶ And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I was astonished, when I beheld her, with great astonishment.

⁸ The wild–beast which thou sawest, was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss, and into, destruction, goeth away. And they who are dwelling upon the earth whose name is not written upon the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished, when they see the wild–beast, because it was, and is not, and shall be present.

¹⁰ and they are, seven kings: the five, have fallen, the one, is, the other, hath not yet come; and, whensoever he shall come, a little while, must he remain,

¹³ These, have, one mind, and, their power and authority, unto the wild–beast, they give.

¹⁷ For, God, hath put into their hearts, to do his mind, and to do one mind,––and to give their sovereignty unto the wild–beast, until the words of God shall be completed.

¹¹ Who is, like unto thee, among the mighty, O Yahweh? Who is, like unto thee, Majestic in holiness,––To be revered in praises, Doing a marvelous thing?

² a people great and tall, the sons of Anakim,––whom, thou, knowest, and of whom, thou, hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?

²⁴ Now, all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from before him, and feared exceedingly.

³⁷ Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons; ³⁸ And poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, And the land was polluted with blood–shed;

³⁶ And the king, will do according to his own pleasure, and will exalt himself, and magnify himself against every GOD, yea, against the GOD of GODS, will he speak wonderful things,––and will succeed, until exhausted is the indignation, for, what is decreed, must be done; ³⁷ and, for the god of his fathers, will he have no regard, nor, for the delight of women, nor for any god, will he have regard,––for, against all, will he magnify himself.

²⁰ On the contrary––that, the things which the nations sacrifice, unto demons, and not unto God, they sacrifice; and I wish not that ye should become, sharers together with the demons! ²¹ Ye cannot be drinking––a cup of the Lord, and a cup of demons; ye cannot be partaking of, a table of the Lord, and a table of demons. ²² Or are we to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we mightier than he?

⁴ In whom, the god of this age, hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, to the end they may not discern the radiance of the glad–message of the glory of the Christ––who is the image of God.

⁴ The one who opposeth and exalteth himself on high against every one called God, or an object of worship; so that he, within the sanctuary of God, shall take his seat, showeth himself forth, that he is, God:––

²⁰ And, the rest of mankind who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands,––that they should not do homage unto the demons, nor unto the idols of gold and of silver and of copper and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk;

² And, the beast which I saw, was like unto a leopard; and, his feet, as of a bear, and, his mouth, as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave unto him his power, and his throne, and great authority.

¹² And, all the authority of the first wild–beast, he useth before him; and causeth the earth, and them who, therein, are dwelling, that they shall do homage unto the first wild–beast, whose stroke of death, was healed. ¹³ And he doeth great signs, so that, even fire, he causeth to be coming down unto the earth before men;

¹⁵ And it was given unto it, to give spirit unto the image of the wild–beast, in order that the image of the wild–beast should both speak and should cause that, as many as should not do homage unto the image of the wild–beast, should be slain.

¹⁴ These, with the Lamb, will make war; and, the Lamb, will overcome them, because he is, Lord of lords, and King of kings,––and, they who are with him, are called and chosen and faithful.

¹⁸ and they cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying––What city is like unto the great city?

⁸ I was considering the horns, when lo! another horn, a little one, came up among them, and, three of the former horns, were uprooted from before it,––and lo! eyes, like the eyes of a man, in this horn, and, a mouth, speaking great things.

¹¹ I continued looking, then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking, I continued looking, until that the wild beast, was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning of the fire.

²⁰ also concerning the ten horns, which were in his head, and the other, which came up, and there fell––from among them that were before it––three,––and this horn which had, eyes, and, a mouth, speaking great things, and, his look, was more proud than his fellows:

²⁵ and, words against the Most High, will he speak, and, the holy ones of the Highest, will he afflict,––and will hope to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand, for a season and seasons and the dividing of a season,

² and, the court that is outside the Sanctuary, cast thou outside, and do not measure, it, because it hath been given unto the nations, and, the holy city, shall they tread under foot, forty and two months.
³ And I will give unto my two witnesses, that they shall prophesy, a thousand two hundred and sixty days, arrayed in sackcloth.

⁶ And, the woman, fled into the desert, where she hath a place prepared of God, that, there, they should nourish her a thousand, two hundred, and sixty days.

¹⁴ And there were given unto the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the desert, into her place,––where she is nourished, a season and seasons and half a season, from the face of the serpent.

⁷ [And it was given unto him, to make war with the saints, and to overcome them;] and there was given him, authority against every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

¹ After this, opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

³⁴ Broods of vipers! How can ye speak, good things, being, evil? For, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.

¹⁹ For, out of the heart, come forth wicked designs,––murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, profane speakings:

¹⁴ And, the Word, became, flesh, and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory,––a glory, as an Only–begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth.

¹³ A sepulchre opened, is their throat, with their tongues, have they used deceit, the poison of asps, is under their lips,

¹⁹ Because, in him, was all the fullness well pleased to dwell,

⁹ Because, in him, dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead, bodily,

² For a tent was prepared, the first, in which were both the lampstand and the table and the setting forth of the loaves,––the which is called the Holy place;

¹¹ But, when Christ approached, as high–priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tent, not made by hand, that is, not of this creation,–– ¹² Nor yet through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood he entered once for all into the Holy place, age–abiding redemption discovering.

²⁴ For, not into a Holy place made by hand, entered Christ,––counterpart of the real [Holy place]; but, into the heaven itself, now, to be plainly manifested before the face of God in our behalf; ––

²² But ye have approached––unto Zion’s mountain, and unto the city of a Living God, a heavenly Jerusalem,––and unto myriads of messengers, ²³ in high festival,––and unto an assembly of firstborn ones, enrolled in the heavens,––and unto God, judge of all,––and unto the spirits of righteous ones made perfect,––

¹ After these things, I saw, and lo! a door set open in heaven; and, the first voice which I heard as of a trumpet, speaking with me, saying––Come up hither! and I will point out to thee the things which must needs come to pass. After these things,

⁴ And, round about the throne, were four and twenty thrones; and, upon the thrones, four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and, upon their heads, [were] crowns of gold.

¹³ And, every created thing which was in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, and, all the things in them, heard I, saying––Unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages of ages!

⁹ After these things, I saw, and lo! a great multitude,––which, to number it! no one was able,––of every nation, and [of all] tribes, and peoples, and tongues; standing before the throne, and before the Lamb; arrayed in white robes, and palm–branches in their hands; ––

¹² And they heard a loud voice out of heaven, saying unto them––Come up hither! And they went up into heaven, in the cloud, and, their enemies, beheld them.

¹² For this cause, be joyful, O heavens, and ye who, therein, are tabernacling. Woe! unto the earth, and the sea, because the Adversary hath come down unto you, having great wrath––knowing that, but a little season, he hath.

²⁰ Be glad over her, thou heaven! And ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets! For that God hath exacted your vindication from her.

¹ After these things, I heard as it were, a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying––Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the power of our God! ² Because, true and righteous, are his judgments; because he hath judged the great harlot, who, indeed, corrupted the earth with her lewdness,––and hath avenged the blood of his servants, at her hand. ³ And, a second time, have they said––Hallelujah! And, her smoke, ascendeth unto ages of ages. ⁴ And the twenty–four elders and the four living creatures, fell down, and did homage unto God, who sitteth upon the throne, saying––Amen! Hallelujah!
⁵ And, a voice, from the throne, came forth, saying––Be giving praise unto our God, all ye his servants, ye that revere him, the small and the great. ⁶ And I heard as a voice of a great multitude, and as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of mighty thunderings, saying––Hallelujah! Because the Lord, [our] God, the Almighty, hath become king.

³ And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, saying––Lo! the tent of God, is with men, and he will tabernacle with them, and, they, shall be, his peoples, and, he, shall be, God with them;

¹⁶ but, in very deed, for this purpose, have I let thee remain, for the purpose of showing thee my might,––and that my name may be celebrated in all the earth.

¹⁵ Shall the axe, boast itself, against him that heweth therewith? Or, the saw, magnify itself, against him that wieldeth it? As if a rod, could wield, them who lift it up! As if a staff, could raise, what is, not wood!

²⁶ Hast thou not heard––That, long ago, that, is what I appointed, And, from days of old, devised? Now, have I brought it to pass, That thou mightest serve to lay waste, in desolate ruins, fortified cities;

⁹ Behold me! sending and fetching all the families of the North, Declareth Yahweh, and Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, my servant, And I will bring them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations, round about,––And I will devote them to destruction, and make them an astonishment and a hissing, and age–abiding desolations.

⁶ Now, therefore, I, have given all these lands, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant,––Moreover also, the wild beast of the field, have I given him, to serve him. ⁷ Therefore shall all the nations, serve him, and his son, and his son’s son,––until the time even of his own land, itself, arrive, when many nations and great kings, shall use him as a slave.

²⁰ A war–club, art thou, for me, Weapons of war; Therefore will I, Beat down with thee––nations, and, Destroy with thee––kingdoms; ²¹ and, Beat down with thee––the horse and his rider,––and, Beat down with thee––the chariot and its rider; ²² and, Beat down with thee––man and woman, and, Beat down with thee––elder and youth, and, Beat down with thee––young man and virgin; ²³ and, Beat down with thee––the shepherd and his flock, and, Beat down with thee––the plowman and his yoke; ––and, Beat down with thee––governors and deputies: ²⁴ So will I recompense to Babylon, And to all the inhabitants of Chaldea, All their wickedness which they have committed against Zion, before your eyes,––Declareth Yahweh.

¹⁸ As for thee, O king, the Most High God, gave, kingship and greatness and honour and majesty, unto Nebuchadnezzar thy father; ¹⁹ and, for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, races and tongues, used to tremble and to withdraw falteringly from before him,––Whom he would, he slew, and, whom he would, he kept alive, and, whom he would, he set up, and, whom he would, he put down. ²⁰ But, when uplifted was his heart and, his spirit, became obstinate so as to act arrogantly, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and, his dignity, took they from him; ²¹ And, from among the sons of men, was he driven, and, his heart, to a wild beast’s, became equal, and, with the wild asses, was his dwelling, and, grass––like oxen, they suffered him to eat, and, with the dew of the heavens, his body, was drenched––until that he came to know that the Most High God, hath dominion, over the kingdom of men, and, whomsoever he pleaseth, he setteth up over it. ²² And yet, thou, his son, O Belshazzar! hast not humbled thy heart, though, all this, thou knewest; ²³ but, against the Lord of the heavens, hast uplifted thyself, and, the vessels of his house, have they brought before thee, and, thou, and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have been drinking, wine, therein, and, gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which see not nor hear nor know, hast thou praised,––whereas, God, in whose hand thy breath is and whose are all thy ways, him, hast thou not glorified.

²¹ I continued looking, when, this horn, made war with the holy ones,––and prevailed against them:

²⁴ and his strength, will be mighty, but not through his own strength, and, wonderfully, will he destroy, and succeed and act with effect,––and will destroy mighty ones, and the people of holy ones; ²⁵ and, by his cunning, will he both cause deceit to succeed in his hand, and, in his own heart, will he shew himself to be great, and, by their careless security, will he destroy many,––and, against the ruler of rulers, will he stand up, but, without hand, shall be broken in pieces.

³⁶ And the king, will do according to his own pleasure, and will exalt himself, and magnify himself against every GOD, yea, against the GOD of GODS, will he speak wonderful things,––and will succeed, until exhausted is the indignation, for, what is decreed, must be done; ³⁷ and, for the god of his fathers, will he have no regard, nor, for the delight of women, nor for any god, will he have regard,––for, against all, will he magnify himself. ³⁸ Howbeit, to the god of the fortresses, in his place, will he give honour,––even to a god whom his fathers, knew not, will he give honour, with gold and with silver and with precious stones and with articles of delight. ³⁹ And he will prepare, for the strongholds of the fortress of the sea, the people of an alien god, whom he will acknowledge––will greatly honour,––and will give them authority over the many, and, the soil, will he apportion for a price.

¹ And, at that time, will Michael, the great ruler who standeth for the sons of thy people, make a stand, and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, up to that time,––and, at that time, shall thy people, be delivered, every one found written in the book;

⁶ And the adversary said to him––Unto thee, will I give this authority, all together, and their glory; because, unto me, hath it been delivered up, and, to whomsoever I please, I give it:

¹¹ Jesus answered him––Thou couldst have had no authority against me, at all, if it had not been given unto thee from above. Therefore, he that delivered me unto thee, hath, greater sin.

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying––Worthy, art thou, to take the scroll and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and didst redeem unto God by thy blood [men] out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹¹ And they say unto me––It behoveth thee again to prophesy against peoples and nations and tongues, and many kings.

¹⁸ And, the nations, were angered; and thine anger, came, and the fit time of the dead, to be vindicated, and to give their reward unto thy servants the prophets, and unto the saints, and unto them who revere thy name––the small and the great, and to despoil them who were despoiling the earth.

¹⁷ And the dragon was angered against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed––with them who were keeping the commandments of God, and holding the witness of Jesus; ––and he stood upon the sand of the sea.

¹⁵ And he saith unto me––The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are, peoples and multitudes, and nations and tongues.

³² Now, therefore, if thou wilt forgive their sin, . . . but, if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book, which thou hast written.

³ And it shall come to pass––He that is left in Zion, And, he that remaineth in Jerusalem, Shall be called, holy,––Everyone written unto life in Jerusalem.

³⁴ Then, will the king say to those on his right hand: Come ye, the blessed of my Father! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

²⁰ Notwithstanding, in this, be not rejoicing––that, the spirits, unto you submit themselves; but be rejoicing––that, your names, are inscribed in the heavens!

²⁹ On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith––See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.

⁴ According as he made choice of us, in him, before the founding of a world, that we might be holy and blameless in his presence; in love,

³ Yea! I request thee also, true yokefellow, be thou helping together with these women,––who, indeed, in the joyful message, have maintained the combat with me, along with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow–workers, whose names, are in the book of life.

² In hope of life age–abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age–during times,

¹⁹ But with precious blood, as of a lamb, unblemished and unspotted, of an Anointed One,–– ²⁰ Foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, but made manifest at a last stage of the times, for the sake of you

⁵ He that overcometh, shall, thus, array himself in white garments, and in nowise will I blot out his name, from the book of life; and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his messengers.

¹⁰ Because thou didst keep my word of endurance, I also, will keep thee out of the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole habitable world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

²⁰ Lo! I am standing at the door, and knocking; if anyone shall hearken unto my voice, and open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and, he, with, me.

⁶ And I saw, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb, standing, showing that it had been slain,––having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the [seven] Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. ⁷ And he came, and at once took [it] out of the right hand of him that was sitting upon the throne. ⁸ And, when he took the scroll, the four living creatures, and the four–and–twenty elders, fell down before the Lamb, having, each one, a harp, and bowls of gold full of incense,––which are the prayers of the saints; ⁹ and they sing a new song, saying––Worthy, art thou, to take the scroll and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and didst redeem unto God by thy blood [men] out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹² saying with a loud voice––Worthy, is the Lamb that hath been slain, to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

³ And [I saw] one of his heads, showing that it had been slain unto death, and, the stroke of his death, was healed. And the whole earth marveled after the wild–beast, ⁴ and did homage unto the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the wild–beast; and they did homage unto the wild–beast, saying––Who is like unto the wild–beast? and Who can make war with him?

¹⁴ and he deceiveth them who are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the signs which it was given him to do before the wild–beast,––saying unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, that they should make an image unto the wild–beast who hath the stroke of the sword, and yet did live. ¹⁵ And it was given unto it, to give spirit unto the image of the wild–beast, in order that the image of the wild–beast should both speak and should cause that, as many as should not do homage unto the image of the wild–beast, should be slain.

²⁷ And in nowise shall there enter into it, anything common, or he that doeth abomination and falsehood,––but only they who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies. Unto him that overcometh––I will give, unto him, to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

¹¹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies. He that overcometh, shall in nowise be injured by reason of the second death.

¹⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies. Unto him that overcometh, I will give, unto him, of the hidden manna, and I will give unto him a white stone, and, upon the stone, a new name written, which, no one, knoweth, save he that receiveth it.

²⁹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies.

⁵ And surely, your blood, of your lives, will I require, From the hand of every living creature, will I require it,––and from the hand of man, From the hand of each one’s brother, will I require the life of man: ⁶ He that sheddeth man’s blood, by man, shall his blood be shed,––For, in the image of God, made he man.

²³ But, if mischief follow, then shalt thou give life for life; ²⁴ eye for eye, tooth for tooth,––hand for hand, foot for foot, ²⁵ brand for brand, wound for wound,––stripe for stripe.

² And peoples, shall take them, and bring them into their own place, And the house of Israel shall possess themselves of them, upon the soil of Yahweh, for servants and for handmaids,––Thus shall they be taking captive their captors, And shall tread down their oppressors.

²¹ For lo! Yahweh, is coming forth out of his place, To visit the iniquity of earth’s inhabitant upon him,––Therefore shall the earth unveil her shed–blood, And throw a covering, no longer, over her slain.

¹ Alas! thou plunderer, when, thou, hadst not been plundered, And thou traitor, when they had not betrayed thee: When thou hast ceased plundering, thou shalt be plundered, When thou hast left off betraying, they shall betray thee.

² And it shall come to pass, when they say unto thee, Whither, shall we go? Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh––Such as are for death, to death, and, Such as are for the sword, to the sword, and, Such as are for famine, to the famine, and, Such as are for captivity, to captivity.

¹¹ And, when he entereth, then will he smite the land of Egypt [and deliver], Him who is for death, to death, and, Him who is for captivity, to captivity, and, Him who is for the sword, to the sword.

²⁶ Good it is––both to wait and to be silent, for the deliverance of Yahweh;

³ For yet is the vision for an appointed time, still, it presseth towards an end, and will not deceive,––if it tarry, wait thou for it, for it, surely cometh,––will not be too late.

² For, with what judgment ye judge, shall ye be judged,––and, with what measure ye mete, shall it be measured unto you.

⁵² Then, Jesus saith unto him––Put back thy sword into its place, for, all they who take a sword, by a sword, shall perish.

¹ And he was speaking a parable unto them, as to its being needful for them always to pray, and not be faint–hearted; ² saying––A certain judge, there was in a certain city,––having, for God, no reverence, and, for man, no respect. ³ And, a widow, there was, in that city; and she kept coming unto him, saying––Vindicate me from mine adversary! ⁴ And he was unwilling for a time; but, after these things, he said within himself––Although, neither God, I reverence, nor man, I respect, ⁵ Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her,––lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out. ⁶ And the Lord said––Hear ye what, the unrighteous judge saith; –– ⁷ And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them? ⁸ I tell you––He will execute their vindication, quickly! nevertheless, though, the Son of Man, do come, will he, after all, find the faith on the earth?

¹⁹ By your endurance, shall ye gain your lives for a possession.

¹¹ With all power, being empowered, according to the grasp of his glory, unto all endurance and long–suffering with joy,

¹² In order that, not slothful, ye may become, but imitators of them who, through faith and patience, were becoming heirs of the promises.

³⁶ For, of endurance, ye have need, in order that, the will of God having done, Ye may bear away, the promise. ³⁷ For, yet a little while, how short! how short! The Coming One will be here, and will not tarry;

³ For take ye into consideration––him who hath endured, such contradiction, by sinners against themselves, lest ye be wearied, in your souls becoming exhausted.
⁴ Not yet unto blood, have ye resisted, against sin, waging a contest;

² All Joy, account it, my brethren, whensoever ye fall in with, manifold, temptations,–– ³ Taking note, that, the proving of your faith, worketh out endurance; ⁴ But let, your endurance, have, mature work, that ye may be mature and complete, in nothing, coming short.

⁷ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the Presence of the Lord:––Lo! the husbandman, awaiteth the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it, until it receive the early and the latter rain: ⁸ Be, ye also, patient, Stablish your hearts, because, the Presence of the Lord, hath drawn near.

⁹ I, John, your brother, and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came to be in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and the witness of Jesus.

² I know thy works, and thy toil, and endurance, and that thou canst not bear bad men, and thou hast tried them who were affirming themselves to be apostles, and they were not, and hast found them false;

¹⁹ I know thy works, and thy love, and faith, and ministry, and endurance,––and that, thy last works, are more than the first.

³ Remember, therefore, how thou hast received, and didst hear, and keep it and repent. If then thou shall not watch, I will have come as a thief, and in nowise shalt thou get to know, during what sort of hour, I will have come upon thee.

¹² Here, is, the endurance of the saints,––they who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

⁶ Because, blood of saints and prophets, poured they out, and, blood, unto them, hast thou given to drink: Worthy, they are!

¹⁵ Beware of false prophets, who come unto you in clothing of sheep,––while, within, they are ravening wolves.

¹⁸ For, they who are such, unto our Lord Christ are not doing service, but unto their own belly,––and, through their smooth and flattering speech, deceive the hearts of the innocent.

¹³ For, such as these, are false apostles, deceitful workers, transfiguring themselves into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no marvel! for, Satan himself, doth transfigure himself into a messenger of light! ¹⁵ No great thing, therefore, if, his ministers also, are transfiguring themselves as ministers of righteousness!––whose end, shall be according to their works.

¹⁷ And the dragon was angered against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed––with them who were keeping the commandments of God, and holding the witness of Jesus; ––and he stood upon the sand of the sea.

¹⁷ [and] that no one should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

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 impure spirits, as frogs;

¹⁴ and he deceiveth them who are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the signs which it was given him to do before the wild–beast,––saying unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, that they should make an image unto the wild–beast who hath the stroke of the sword, and yet did live. ¹⁵ And it was given unto it, to give spirit unto the image of the wild–beast, in order that the image of the wild–beast should both speak and should cause that, as many as should not do homage unto the image of the wild–beast, should be slain. ¹⁶ And he causeth all––the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond,––that they should give unto them a mark, upon their right hand or upon their forehead; ¹⁷ [and] that no one should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

⁹ And, another, a third messenger, followed them, saying with a loud voice––If anyone doeth homage unto the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark upon his forehead, or upon his hand,

¹¹ And, the smoke of their torment, unto ages of ages, ascendeth; And they have no rest day or night, who do homage unto the beast and his image, or if anyone receiveth the mark of his name.

¹⁰ and they are, seven kings: the five, have fallen, the one, is, the other, hath not yet come; and, whensoever he shall come, a little while, must he remain, ¹¹ and the wild–beast which was and is not. And he, is an eighth, and is, of the seven,––and, into destruction, goeth away.

¹¹ Then called Pharaoh also for the wise men and for the magicians,––and, they too, the sacred scribes of Egypt with their secret arts, did in like manner; ¹² yea they cast down each man his staff, and they became sea–serpents,––but Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staves.

²² And the sacred scribes of Egypt did in like manner, with their secret arts,––so the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold, and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh.

⁷ And the sacred scribes did in like manner, with their secret arts,––and brought up frogs, over the land of Egypt.

¹⁸ And the sacred scribes did in like manner, with their secret arts, to bring forth the gnats, but they could not. So there came to be gnats, among men and among beasts. ¹⁹ Then said the sacred scribes unto Pharaoh, The finger of God, it is! But the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold, and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh.

¹¹ and the sacred scribes could not stand before Moses, because of the burning sore,––for the burning sore had come on the sacred scribes, and on all the Egyptians.

³⁵ Fire also, came forth, from Yahweh,––and consumed the two hundred and fifty men, who offered the incense.

¹ When there shall arise in thy midst––a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams,––and he shall give unto thee a sign or a wonder; ² and the sign or the wonder, shall come in, whereof he spake unto thee, saying,––Let us go after other gods, which ye know not, and let us serve them, ³ thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams,––for Yahweh your God, is putting you to the proof, to know whether ye do love Yahweh your God, with all your heart and with all your soul.

³⁸ Then fell fire from Yahweh, and consumed the ascending–sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust,––even the water that was in the trench, it licked up.

¹⁰ And Elijah responded and said unto the captain of fifty, If, then, a man of God, I am, let fire come down out of the heavens, and devour thee and thy fifty. So there came down fire out of the heavens, and devoured him and his fifty. ¹¹ Then he again sent unto him another captain of fifty, with his fifty. And he also spake and said unto him, O man of God! thus, saith the king, Haste thee, come down! ¹² And Elijah responded and said unto them––If, a man of God, I am, let fire come down out of the heavens, and devour thee and thy fifty. And there came down a fire of God, out of the heavens, and devoured him and his fifty. ¹³ Then he again sent a third captain of fifty, with his fifty,––and the third captain of fifty ascended and came near, and bowed down upon his knees before Elijah, and made supplication unto him, and said unto him, O man of God! let my life, I pray thee, and the lives of these thy fifty servants, be precious in thine eyes. ¹⁴ Lo! there hath come down fire out of the heavens, and devoured the captains of the former fifties, with their fifties,––now, therefore, let my life be precious in thine eyes.

¹ And, the Pharisees and Sadducees coming near, putting him to the test, requested him, a sign out of the heaven, to shew unto them.

²⁴ For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets,––and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived:––

²² For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets; and they will show signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, the chosen.

⁵⁴ And the disciples James and John, seeing it, said––Lord! wilt thou, that we bid fire come down from heaven, and destroy them? ⁵⁵ But, turning, he rebuked them. ⁵⁶ And they journeyed into a different village.

⁹ But, a certain man named Simon, was already in the city, practising magical arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria,––saying that himself was someone great:

⁹ Whose, presence, [shall be] according to an inworking of Satan, with all manner of mighty work and signs and wonders of falsehood, ¹⁰ And with all manner of deceit of unrighteousness, in them who are destroying themselves, because, the love of the truth, they did not welcome, that they might be saved; ––

⁸ Moreover, like as, Jannes and Jambres, withstood Moses, so, these men also, withstand the truth,––men utterly corrupted in their mind, disapproved concerning their faith;

⁵ And, if any one, upon them, chooseth to inflict injury, fire, cometh forth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies; and, if anyone shall choose, upon them, to inflict injury, thus, must he be slain.

¹⁴ for they are spirits of demons, doing signs, which are to go forth unto the kings of the whole habitable earth, to gather them together unto the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.––

⁹ And they came up over the breadth of the land, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. And there came down fire out of heaven, and devoured them;

⁷ And Isaiah said––Take ye a cake of figs. So they took and laid it upon the boil, and he recovered,

²⁰ For this cause, behold me! about to gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered unto thy graves, in peace, and so thine eyes shall not look upon all the misfortune which I am about to bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.

¹⁶ With Him, is strength and effective wisdom, to Him, belong he that erreth, and he that causeth to err.

²⁰ He is feeding on ashes, A deluded heart, hath turned him aside,––And he cannot deliver his own soul, nor say, Is there not a falsehood in my right hand?

¹⁰ So I went in, and looked, and lo! every similitude of creeping thing, and detestable beast, and all the manufactured gods of the house of Israel,––portrayed upon the wall, round about on every side;

⁹ Yea, the prophet himself, when he suffereth himself to be deceived, and speaketh a word, I, Yahweh, have suffered that prophet to be deceived. Then will I stretch forth my hand against him, and destroy him out of the midst of my people, Israel:

¹⁷ But thou didst take thine adorning, jewels, Of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, And didst make thee, images of the male,––And didst act unchastely with them;

⁸ And all they who are dwelling upon the earth will do homage unto him,––[every one] whose name is not written in the scroll of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

¹¹ And I saw another wild–beast, coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns, like unto a lamb, and began speaking as a dragon. ¹² And, all the authority of the first wild–beast, he useth before him; and causeth the earth, and them who, therein, are dwelling, that they shall do homage unto the first wild–beast, whose stroke of death, was healed.

² And the first departed, and poured out his bowl unto the earth; and there came to be a baneful and painful ulcer, upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and them who were doing homage unto his image.

²³ And light of lamp,––in nowise shine in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and bride,––in nowise be heard in thee any more; because, thy merchants, were the great ones of the earth, because, with thy sorcery, were all the nations deceived:

³ and cast him into the abyss, and fastened and sealed [it] over him,––that he might not deceive the nations any more, until the thousand years, should be ended: after these, must he be loosed for a short time. ⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and sentence of judgment was given unto them; and [I saw] the souls of them who had been beheaded because of the witness of Jesus and because of the word of God, and such as had not done homage unto the wild–beast or unto his image, nor had received the mark upon their forehead or upon their hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ, for a thousand years.

¹⁰ and, the Adversary that had been deceiving them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where [were] both the wild–beast and the false–prophet; and they shall be tormented, day and night, unto the ages of ages.

⁷ So then Yahweh God formed man, [of the] dust of the ground, and breathed in his nostrils the breath of life––and man became a living soul.

⁵ A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;

¹⁶ A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not; ¹⁷ Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose,––there is no breath in their mouth.

⁵ Mere palm–trunks turned, they are, and cannot speak, They must needs be, carried, for they cannot take a step, Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do harm, And, even to do good, is not in their power.

¹⁴ Every son of earth hath become too brutish, to discern, Every goldsmith, hath been put to shame, by a graven image,––For, a falsehood, is his molten image, Seeing there is no breath in them.

¹⁷ Every son of earth had become too brutish to know,––Every goldsmith, hath been put to shame, by a graven image,––For, a falsehood, is his molten image, Seeing there is no breath in them:

³ Then were gathered together, the satraps, the nobles and the pashas, the chief judges, the treasurers, the judges, the lawyers, and all the rulers of the province, to the dedication of the image, which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up,––and they stood before the image, which Nebuchadnezzar, had set up. ⁴ And, the herald, proclaimed aloud,––To you, is given the word, O ye peoples, races, and tongues: ⁵ At what time ye shall hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the harp, the psaltery, the bagpipes, and all kinds of instruments of music, ye shall fall down and adore the image of gold, which Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up; ⁶ and, whosoever shall not fall down and adore, shall, instantly, be cast into the burning furnace of fire.

¹⁹ Alas! for him who saith to wood, Awake, bestir thee! to a silent stone, he, shall teach! Though he is overlaid with gold and silver, yet, no spirit whatsoever, is in him!

²⁶ Just as, the body, apart from spirit, is dead, so, our faith also, apart from works, is dead.

⁵ And I heard the messenger of the waters, saying––Righteous, art thou Who art, and Who wast, Who art full of lovingkindness,––in that, these things, thou hast adjudged;

²⁴ And, in her, blood of prophets and saints, was found,––and of all who had been slain upon the earth.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and sentence of judgment was given unto them; and [I saw] the souls of them who had been beheaded because of the witness of Jesus and because of the word of God, and such as had not done homage unto the wild–beast or unto his image, nor had received the mark upon their forehead or upon their hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ, for a thousand years.

⁹ And it shall be to thee for a sign upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, in order that the law of Yahweh may be in thy mouth,––for, with a strong hand, did Yahweh bring thee forth out of Egypt.

⁸ and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand,––and they shall serve for bands, between thine eyes;

¹⁸ Therefore shall ye lay these my words upon your heart, and upon your soul,––and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall serve as bands between your eyes;

¹³ and, whosoever would not seek unto Yahweh God of Israel, should be put to death,––whether small or great, whether man or woman.

¹⁹ For he hath shewn no respect of persons unto princes, neither hath he recognised the rich rather than the poor? For, the work of his hands, are they all.

² Both sons of the low, And sons of the high,––Together both rich and needy:––

¹³ He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.

⁴ Then said Yahweh unto him, Pass along through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem,––and set thou a mark upon the foreheads of the men who are sighing and crying over all the abominations. that are being done in her midst.

⁶ Then will one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? And he will say, Wherewith I was wounded in the house of them who loved me.

²² So then, having met with, the help that is from God, until this day, do I stand, witnessing to both small and great, nothing else saying, than those things which both the prophets, and Moses, did say should certainly come to pass:––

¹³ For, even to one Spirit, we all, into one body, have been immersed,––whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free,––and, all, of one Spirit, have been caused to drink.

²⁸ There cannot be Jew or Greek, there cannot be bond or free, there cannot be male and female, for, all ye, are one, in Christ Jesus:

¹⁷ For the rest, annoyances, unto me, let no one be offering; for, I, the brandmarks of Jesus, in my body, am bearing.

⁸ Knowing that, each one, whatsoever he may do that is good, the same, shall he receive back from the Lord, whether bond or free.

¹¹ Wherein there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, bond, free,––but, all things and in all, Christ:

¹⁵ And, the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rulers of thousands, and the rich, and the mighty, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves within the caves and within the rocks of the mountains;

³ saying––Do not injure the land, or the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads.

⁹ And, another, a third messenger, followed them, saying with a loud voice––If anyone doeth homage unto the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark upon his forehead, or upon his hand, ¹⁰ he also, shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared, unmixed, in the cup of his anger; ––and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, before holy messengers and before the Lamb; ¹¹ And, the smoke of their torment, unto ages of ages, ascendeth; And they have no rest day or night, who do homage unto the beast and his image, or if anyone receiveth the mark of his name.

⁵ And, a voice, from the throne, came forth, saying––Be giving praise unto our God, all ye his servants, ye that revere him, the small and the great.

¹⁸ that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them who sit upon them, and the flesh of all, both free and bond, and small and great.

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 book, of life; and the dead, were judged, out of the things written in the books, according to their works.

¹² He that overcometh, I will make, him, a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and, outside, shall he in nowise go forth any more; 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 [I will write upon him] my new name.

¹⁶ And he causeth all––the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond,––that they should give unto them a mark, upon their right hand or upon their forehead;

¹⁸ Here, is, wisdom: he that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is, the number of a man; and, his number, is 666.

⁴ and they shall see his face, and, his name, [shall be] upon their foreheads.
