⁵ He that conquers shall be clothed in white robes, and I will not obliterate his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. ⁶ Let him that has an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

³ And not only [this], but we rejoice also in afflictions, knowing that affliction works out patience,

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall affliction or distress, persecution or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?

⁶ Not that the word of God has failed of being accomplished. For all are not Israel who are of Israel;

¹⁰ as grieving but always rejoicing, as poor but making many rich, as having nothing and possessing all things.

⁹ for you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he became poor, though rich, that you by his poverty might be rich.

⁹ Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and are not, but lie, behold, I will make them come and worship at your feet, and they shall know that I have loved you.

¹⁷ For you say, I am rich and have become rich and have need of nothing, and know not that you are miserable, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked. ¹⁸ I advise you to buy of me gold purified in the fire that you may be rich, and white robes that you may put on, and the shame of your nakedness not appear, and an eye-salve to anoint your eyes that you may see.

¹⁴ And I said to him, My Lord, you know. And he said to me, These are those who come out from great affliction, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

²² and you shall be hated by all men for my sake. But he that endures to the end shall be saved.

³⁵ For whoever wishes to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life for my sake, and that of the good news, shall save it.

¹³ and you shall be hated by all on my account; but he that endures to the end shall be saved.

⁴ And I tell you, my friends, fear not those that kill the body, and after this have [power] to do nothing more. ⁵ But I will show you whom to fear; Fear him, who after killing has power to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, Fear him. ⁶ Are not five sparrows sold for two assarions [3 cents], and one of them is not forgotten before God? ⁷ But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, for you are of more value than many sparrows.

¹² But before all these things they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, committing you to synagogues and prisons, to be brought before kings and governors on my account;

¹⁶ And you shall be delivered up by parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends; and they shall kill some of you; ¹⁷ and you shall be hated by all on my account; ¹⁸ and a hair of your heads shall by no means perish; ¹⁹ by your patience you shall save your souls.

²⁵ He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall preserve it to eternal life.

² And supper being over, the devil having already put it in the heart that Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, should betray him,

²⁷ And after the mouthful, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly.

²⁴ But life precious to myself, I make of no account that I may finish my course and the service which I received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

¹³ But Paul answered, What do you do, to weep and break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.

²⁵ And every one that contends in the games is temperate in all things, they indeed to obtain a perishable crown, we an imperishable.

² in which you formerly walked according to the life of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit which now operates in the children of disobedience,

¹² for our conflict is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the potentates of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual [hosts] of evil in the heavenly [worlds].

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith; ⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge will give me in that day, and not me only but all who love his appearing.

^{12 (1:2)} Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when proved he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

⁶ In which you rejoice, though now for a little while if need be made sad by manifold trials, ⁷ that the trial of your faith, which is much more precious than gold that is destroyed but proved by fire, may be found to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

⁴ and when the chief shepherd shall appear, you shall receive an unfading crown of glory.

^{8 (3:4)} Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour;

¹⁰ Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which is to come on all the world, to try those who dwell on the earth. ¹¹ I come quickly; keep what you have, that no man may take your crown.

⁹ And the great dragon, the old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, and who deceives all the world, was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast [to the earth] with him.

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

⁷ And it was given him to make war with the saints and to conquer them, and power was given him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

¹⁵ And it was given him to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that all who would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. ¹⁶ And he caused all, small and great, and rich and poor, and freemen and servants, to receive the mark on their right hand or on their forehead, ¹⁷ and that no one should buy or sell unless he had the mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.

⁷ Let him that has an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him that conquers will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.

⁶ Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection; on these the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and Christ, and reign with him a thousand years.

¹⁴ And Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

⁸ But the fearful and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.

¹² For the word of God is living, and effective, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and reaching even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrows, and distinguishes thoughts and intentions of mind;

¹⁵ And out of his mouth proceeds a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he shall tread the wine-press of the indignant wrath of God Almighty.

²¹ And the rest were killed with the sword of him that sits on the horse, which proceeded out of his mouth, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

²³ And when they persecute you in one city, flee to another. For I tell you truly, that you will not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man shall come.

^{9 (22:2)} Then they shall deliver you to affliction, and kill you, and you shall be hated by all nations on my account;

¹⁷ and you shall be hated by all on my account;

¹⁴ and here he has power from the chief priests to bind all that call on your name.

²⁰ and when the blood of your martyr Stephen was poured out, I also stood by and consented, and kept the clothes of those that killed him.

⁸ And if any one provides not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

^{13 (1:4)} Retain the form of sound words which you heard from me in faith and the love in Christ Jesus.

¹² if we endure patiently we shall reign together; if we deny him he will deny us;

⁶ but Christ as a son over his house, whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and rejoicing of the hope.

²³ let us hold firmly the profession of the faith, without declining; for he is faithful that promised;

⁷ And do they not blaspheme the good name by which you are called?

^{3 (1:2)} Beloved, giving all diligence to write to you concerning the common salvation, I was under a necessity to write and exhort you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. ⁴ For some men have come in by deception, who were of old appointed to this judgment, impious, changing the grace of our God into lewdness, and denying our only master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

⁹ I know your affliction and poverty, but you are rich, and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. ¹⁰ Fear not what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried, and you shall have affliction ten days. Be faithful till death, and I will give you the crown of life.

²⁴ But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira who have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden; ²⁵ but what you have, hold fast till I come.

³ Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and watch, and change your minds. If therefore you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.

⁸ I know your works; behold, I have placed before you an opened door, which no man can shut; because you have a little power, and kept my word, and did not deny my name. ⁹ Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and are not, but lie, behold, I will make them come and worship at your feet, and they shall know that I have loved you.

¹¹ I come quickly; keep what you have, that no man may take your crown.

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

^{7 (16:2)} Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must necessarily come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

²⁰ but to send to them to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and fornication, and things strangled, and blood. ²¹ For Moses from ancient times has those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.

²⁹ that you should abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and blood, and things strangled, and fornication, from which if you keep yourselves you will do well. Farewell.

²⁵ But concerning the gentiles who have believed, we have sent, judging that they should avoid things offered to idols, and blood, and things strangled, and fornication.

³² For what reason? Because they are not of faith, but as it were of works of the law; for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

⁹ And David says, Let their table become a trap and a snare and an offense and a stumbling block to them;

^{13 (10:3)} Let us not therefore judge one another, but judge this rather, not to place a stumbling-block or an offense before a brother.

²¹ it is good not to eat meat nor drink wine, nor [do] any thing by which your brother stumbles.

²³ we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews indeed an offense, and to the gentiles foolishness,

¹³ Food for the stomach, and the stomach for food; but God will destroy both it and them. And the body is not for fornication but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body; ¹⁴ and God both raised the Lord, and will raise us up by his power. ¹⁵ Know you not that your bodies are Christ's members? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them a harlot's members? by no means. ¹⁶ Know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body [with her]? For the two, says he, shall be one flesh. ¹⁷ But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit [with him]. ¹⁸ Avoid fornication. Every crime that a man commits is out of his body; but he that commits fornication sins in his body.

² but on account of fornications, let each man have his wife, and each woman have her husband.

⁴ Concerning eating things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. ⁵ For even if there are those called Gods, whether in heaven or on earth, as there are many gods and many lords, ⁶ yet to us there is one God the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and we through him. ⁷ But all have not this knowledge; and some with the conscience [unenlightened] even till now eat an idol's [sacrifice] as an idol's sacrifice, and their conscience being weak is defiled. ⁸ But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat not are we worse, nor if we eat are we better. ⁹ But beware lest your liberty should become an offense to the weak. ¹⁰ For if any one sees you who have knowledge reclining in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be emboldened to eat things offered to idols? ¹¹ And will not the weak brother for whom Christ died perish by your knowledge? ¹² But when you thus sin against the brothers, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. ¹³ Wherefore, if food offends my brother, I will eat no meat forever, that I may not offend my brother.

¹⁸ Consider Israel after the flesh; are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers of the altar? ¹⁹ What then do I say? that an idol sacrifice is any thing, or that an idol is any thing? ²⁰ But what the gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I do not wish you to be partakers with demons. ²¹ You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons; you cannot partake at the Lord's table and the table of demons. ²² Do we provoke the Lord to anger? Are we stronger than he? ^{23 (4:6)} All things are lawful, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful, but all things do not edify. ²⁴ Let no one seek his own but the good of another. ²⁵ Whatever is sold in the market eat, asking no questions for conscience' sake; ²⁶ for the earth is the Lord's and all it contains. ²⁷ But if an unbeliever invites you and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for conscience' sake. ²⁸ But if any one says to you, This has been offered to an idol, eat not for his sake that informed you, and for conscience' sake. ²⁹ I mean not your conscience, but that of the other. For why is my freedom limited by the conscience of another? ³⁰ If I partake with thanks, why am I blamed for that for which I give thanks? ³¹ Whether then you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

⁴ Marriage is honorable in all, and married life without blame; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

⁸ and a stone of stumbling and rock of offense, who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

¹⁵ having left the right way they have gone astray, following in the way of Balaam the son of Beor who loved the wages of wickedness,

¹¹ Woe to them; for they have gone in the way of Cain, and rushed into the error of Balaam for a reward, and perished in the contradiction of Korah.

⁴ But I have against you that you have left your first love.

¹⁵ Without are dogs and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers and idolaters and whoever loves and practises falsehood.

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

⁸ and then shall the wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming,

⁵ Remember therefore whence you have fallen, and change your minds, and do the first works, otherwise I will come to you and remove your candlestick from its place, unless you change your minds.

⁷ Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

¹¹ And he answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given;

³² But he said to them, I have food to eat which you know not of.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers eat manna in the wilderness, and died; ⁵⁰ this is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. ^{52 (9:6)} Then the Jews contended one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Then Jesus said to them, I tell you most truly, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. ⁵⁴ He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink. ⁵⁶ He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood continues in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me and I live by the Father, so he that eats me shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers eat and died, he that eats this bread shall live forever.

¹⁴ But the natural man receives not the [things] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them, for they are spiritually discerned.

³ For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God;

⁶ Let him that has an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

²² Let him that has an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

³ And they sung a new song before the throne and before the four cherubs and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand, who had been redeemed from the earth.

¹² And his eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; he has a name written that no man knows except himself, ¹³ and he is clothed in a mantle dipped in blood, and his name is called The Word of God.

¹⁷ And behold, a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

³ And the tempter came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread. ⁴ And he answered and said; It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which proceeds from the mouth of God. ⁵ Then the devil took him into the holy city, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and said to him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down; for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you, and they shall take you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.

⁵ While he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them; and behold a voice from the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; hear him.

^{54 (26:6)} And the centurion and those with him watching Jesus, seeing the earthquake, and the [other] events which occurred, were greatly afraid, and said, Certainly, this was a Son of God.

³⁵ And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you; and on that account the holy child shall be called the Son of God.

^{14 (1:3)} And the Word became flesh and tabernacled with us and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only child with a father, full of grace and truth.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that every one believing in him may not perish but have eternal life.

¹⁸ He that believes in him is not judged; but he that believes not has been judged already; because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that disbelieves the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God continues on him.

²⁵ I tell you most truly, that the hour comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those that hear shall live.

³⁶ do you tell him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?

³⁶ And as they went on the way they came to a certain water, and the eunuch said, Behold water; what hinders me from being baptized?

⁴ declared to be the Son of God in power as to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead,—Jesus Christ our Lord,—

³² He who spared not his Son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?

¹⁴ and his head and hairs were white as white wool, as snow, and his eyes like a flame of fire, ¹⁵ and his feet like fine brass as if they were burned in a furnace, and his voice like the sound of many waters,

² Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit he trims, that it may bear more fruit.

^{1 (6:5)} If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not love, I am a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. ² And if I have prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. ³ And if I deal out all my property to feed the poor, and if I deliver my body to be burned, and have not love, I shall not be profited. ^{4 (6:6)} Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love is not boastful, is not puffed up, ⁵ does not behave unbecomingly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, devises not evil, ⁶ rejoices not in wickedness, but rejoices in the truth; ⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes for all things, and endures all things. ^{8 (6:7)} Love never fails; but if there are prophecies, they shall pass away; if tongues, they shall cease; if knowledge, it shall pass away.

¹⁴ and in addition to all these [put on] love, which is the bond of perfection.

^{6 (1:8)} But now Timothy having come to us from you and told us the good news of your faith and love, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, as we also you,

⁵ But the end of the commandment is love from a pure heart and good conscience and faith unfeigned,

⁸ above all things have fervent love one for another, for love hides a multitude of sins.

⁷ and to piety brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

¹⁸ but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever.

² I know your works and your labor and your patience, and that you cannot bear the wicked, and you tried those who say they are apostles and are not, and found them false; ³ and you have patience, and suffered for my name, and did not faint. ⁴ But I have against you that you have left your first love.

¹³ I know your works and where you live; where Satan's throne is; and you hold my name, and did not deny my faith in the days in which Antipas my faithful martyr was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

²⁰ but to send to them to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and fornication, and things strangled, and blood.

¹⁰ For if any one sees you who have knowledge reclining in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be emboldened to eat things offered to idols? ¹¹ And will not the weak brother for whom Christ died perish by your knowledge? ¹² But when you thus sin against the brothers, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

¹⁸ Consider Israel after the flesh; are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers of the altar? ¹⁹ What then do I say? that an idol sacrifice is any thing, or that an idol is any thing? ²⁰ But what the gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I do not wish you to be partakers with demons. ²¹ You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons; you cannot partake at the Lord's table and the table of demons.

²⁸ But if any one says to you, This has been offered to an idol, eat not for his sake that informed you, and for conscience' sake.

⁴ or do you despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to a change of mind? ⁵ But according to your hardness and unchanged heart you treasure up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and of a revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

²² But if God wishing to show his wrath and to make known his power endured with much long suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,

²⁰ who were formerly disobedient when the long suffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is eight souls, were saved by water.

⁹ The Lord is not slow in respect to his promise, as some men account slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to a change of mind.

¹⁵ and consider the long-suffering of the Lord our salvation; as also our beloved brother Paul according to the wisdom given to him wrote to you,

¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven on account of their painful labors and their ulcers, and they changed not their minds to turn from their works.

³ I tell you, No; but unless you change your minds you shall all in like manner be destroyed.

⁵ I tell you, No; but unless you change your minds you shall all in like manner be destroyed.

²¹ lest when I come again my God shall humble me before you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned, and not changed their minds, in respect to impurity and fornication and lewdness which they have committed.

²⁵ in meekness correcting the adversaries, that God may give them a change of mind to a knowledge of the truth, ²⁶ and that they may recover themselves from the snare of the devil, who are made captives by him to his will.

² with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

³ because all nations have drank of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich from the greatness of her luxury.

^{9 (10:7)} And the kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her shall weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

¹⁸ that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of chiliarchs and the flesh of mighty [men] and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all, both free-men and servants and both small and great. ¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled together to make war with him that sat on the horse and with his army. ²⁰ And the beast was taken and with him the false prophet who performed miracles before him, with which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worship his image; and the two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with sulphur. ²¹ And the rest were killed with the sword of him that sits on the horse, which proceeded out of his mouth, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

²⁷ For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then shall he render to every one according to his doing.

²⁴ but Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men, ²⁵ for he had no need that any should testify of man, for he knew what was in man.

¹⁷ He said to him a third time; Simon, son of John, are you a friend to me? Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, Are you a friend to me? and he said to him, Lord you know all things; you know that I am a friend to you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep.

²⁴ And praying, they said, Do thou, Lord, the searcher of all hearts, show which of these two thou hast chosen

⁵ But according to your hardness and unchanged heart you treasure up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and of a revelation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who will render to each according to his works; ⁷ to those who by patience in good works seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; ⁸ but to those who are contentions and disobey the truth, and obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath. ⁹ Affliction and distress [shall be] on every soul of man that does evil, both the Jew first and the Greek; ¹⁰ and glory and honor and peace to every one that does good, both the Jew first and the Greek. ^{11 (2:6)} For there is no respect of persons with God.

²⁷ and he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because it makes intercession with God for the saints.

¹² Each of us therefore shall give account of himself to God.

¹⁰ For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ, that each one may receive through the body for what he has done, whether it is good or evil.

⁵ for every one shall bear his own burden.

¹³ and there is nothing which is not manifest in his sight; for all things are naked and exposed to his eyes, to whom our discourse relates.

¹⁷ And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each one's work, spend the time of your life with fear,

⁸ And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and one sat on it, whose name was Death, and Hades followed him, and there was given him power over a fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the beasts of the earth.

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

²⁸ For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to put no greater burden upon you except these necessary things;

¹¹ that we may not be circumvented by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

³ but I fear lest as the serpent deceived Eve with his craftiness, so also your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity which is in Christ.

¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil; ¹² for our conflict is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the potentates of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual [hosts] of evil in the heavenly [worlds].

⁹ whose coming is according to the power of Satan, with all power and miracles and false prodigies ¹⁰ and with every unrighteous deceit among those who are destroyed, because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. ¹¹ And therefore, God sends them a power of delusion that they should believe a lie, ¹² that they all may be condemned who believe not the truth but have pleasure in wickedness.

⁹ And the great dragon, the old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, and who deceives all the world, was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast [to the earth] with him.

¹⁴ And he deceives those that dwell on the earth by the miracles which it was given him to perform before the beast, telling those that dwell on the earth to make an image of the beast which had the wound with the sword and lived.

³ For I go to prepare a place for you; and if I go and shall prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am you may also be.

²² Jesus said to him, If I wish him to continue till I come, what is that to you? follow me. ²³ The report then went out among the brothers that this disciple would not die; but Jesus said not to him, He shall not die; but, If I wish him to continue till I come, what is that to you?

²⁸ and one of them, by the name of Agabus, standing up signified by the spirit that a great famine was about to come on all the world; which also came under Claudius Caesar.

^{9 (9:2)} Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor evil, adhere to that which is good,

⁵ Judge nothing therefore before the time, till the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden deeds of darkness, and make known the purposes of the hearts; and then shall each one have praise from God.

²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you declare the Lord's death till he comes.

^{14 (2:1)} HAVING therefore a great chief priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the profession.

^{10 (2:3)} But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with a crash, and the elements be melted with heat, and the earth and the works in it be consumed.

^{7 (1:3)} Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him and those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of him. Yes, amen.

²⁰ He that testifies these things says, Yes, I come quickly. Amen, come Lord Jesus.

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, I tell you truly, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, shall yourselves also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel;

¹³ those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, and they have no root; they believe for a time, and in a time of trial fall away; ¹⁴ and that which fell among thorns signifies those who hear, and going away are choked by cares and riches and the pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. ¹⁵ But that on the good ground signifies those who, with a noble and good heart, hearing the word retain it, and bear fruit persistently.

²⁹ and I appoint you, as my Father has appointed me, a kingdom, ³⁰ that you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God; to believe on him whom he has sent.

³¹ Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on him, If you continue in my word, you are my disciples indeed; ³² and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³⁷ But in all these things we more than conquer, through him who loved us.

³ Know you not that we shall judge angels? Much more then things pertaining to this life? ⁴ If then you have courts for the business of this life, do you constitute them of the most abject in the church?

⁵ For this reason, being no longer able to forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest in some way the tempter should have tempted you, and our labor be in vain.
