Now it is necessary that offenses come, but woe to that person by whom the offense comes!

¹⁰ “See to it that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father, who is in the heavens.

³⁹ and were not aware until the flood came and took all away, so also will be the coming of the Son of the Man. ⁴⁰ Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left. ⁴¹ Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and the other will be left.

³¹ He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³⁵ Because whoever may resolve to ‘save’ his life will waste it; but whoever may ‘waste’ his life for my sake and the Gospel’s, he will save it. ³⁶ Well, what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? ³⁷ Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

²² Really, it has often thrown him both into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” ²³ Jesus said to him, “It’s ‘if you can believe’; all things are possible to the one who believes”. ²⁴ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

⁵² So Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has healed you”. And immediately he could see, and followed Jesus on the road.

²² So in answer Jesus said to them: “Have faith in God. ²³ Because I tell you assuredly, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be picked up and be thrown into the sea’, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that the things he says will happen, he will have whatever he says.

¹⁰ Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘The stone that the builders rejected, is the very one that became the cornerstone;

¹⁴ “Now whenever you see the ‘abomination of desolation’, the one spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where he should not”—let the reader understand—“then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. ¹⁵ Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house. ¹⁶ Let him who is in the field not return to his things to get his cloak.

²¹ “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’, ‘Look, there!’, do not believe it;

²¹ “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’, ‘Look, there!’, do not believe it; ²² because false christs and false prophets will be raised up, and they will show signs and wonders so as to even mislead the elect, if that were possible. ²³ So you watch out! See, I have told you everything in advance.

¹² Now it happened, while He was in one of the towns—a man full of leprosy! Upon seeing Jesus he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can cleanse me!”

⁴⁸ So He said: “Courage, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go into peace.”

²² saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²⁴ Because whoever desires to ‘save’ his life will lose it, but whoever ‘loses’ his life for my sake, he will save it. ²⁵ Further, what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, yet wastes or forfeits his very self?

⁵¹ Now it happened, as the days for His Ascension approached, that He set His face to go to Jerusalem, ⁵² and He sent messengers ahead of Him. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for Him.

⁵² and He sent messengers ahead of Him. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for Him. ⁵³ But they did not receive Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem. ⁵⁴ Well, when His disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven and consume them, just like Elijah did?” ⁵⁵ But He turned and rebuked them saying: “You do not know of what sort of spirit you are. ⁵⁶ Further, the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save.” And they went to another village.

⁹ Heal the sick therein and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you’. ¹⁰ But into whatever town you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say: ¹¹ ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to us we wipe off against you. Nonetheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

¹¹ ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to us we wipe off against you. Nonetheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

³² So too, a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. ³³ But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came by there, and upon seeing him was moved with compassion; ³⁴ and going to him he bound up his wounds, applying oil and wine. Then he placed him on his own mount, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. ³⁵ On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and should you spend more, I will repay you when I return’.

¹⁹ And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and enjoy yourself!’ ²⁰ But God said to him: ‘Stupid! This very night your life is being taken back from you; then who will get the things you have prepared?’

³⁷ Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find watching when he comes. Assuredly I say to you that he will gird himself and have them recline, and will come and serve them.

³ Not at all, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish!

⁵ Not at all, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish!”

¹⁵ So the Lord answered him and said: “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it away to water?

¹⁹ It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden; and it grew and became a sizable tree, and the birds of the air perched on its branches.”

²⁴ “Exert yourselves to enter through the narrow gate, because many, I say to you, will try to enter and not manage it.

³⁵ So then, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you that you will definitely not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

⁵ Then He addressed them saying, “Which of you, if a son or an ox falls into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?”

¹⁶ The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed, and every one is trying to force his way into it.

¹⁹ “Now there was a certain rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day. ²⁰ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores, who had been placed at his gate, ²¹ just wanting to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table—why even the dogs would come and lick his sores! ²² In due time the beggar died and was carried away to Abraham’s bosom by the angels. “The rich man also died and was buried. ²³ And in Hades he looked up and saw Abraham at a distance, and Lazarus very close to him. And being in torment,

¹⁷ So Jesus reacted by saying: “Were not all ten cleansed? So where are the nine? ¹⁸ None were found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner!”

²¹ nor will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ because indeed the Kingdom of God is within you.” ²² Then He said to the disciples: “Days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. ²³ And they will say to you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go along or follow.

²³ And they will say to you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go along or follow. ²⁴ Because just like the lightning that lights the whole sky when it flashes, so also will the Son of Man be in His day.

²⁴ Because just like the lightning that lights the whole sky when it flashes, so also will the Son of Man be in His day.

⁸ I tell you that He will get justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He actually find the faith on the earth?”

¹³ The tax collector, staying a good ways off, did not even venture to look up to heaven, but started beating on his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’

³¹ Then He took the Twelve aside and said to them: “Take note, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be fulfilled:

³³ and they will scourge and kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again.”

³⁸ Well he shouted, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ³⁹ Those who led the way started reproving him, to shut him up; but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴² Then Jesus said to him: “See again! Your faith has made you well.”

⁴ And running on ahead he climbed up into a sycamore tree, in order to see Him, since He was about to pass by there.

¹¹ Now as they heard these things, He continued with a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they were supposing that the Kingdom of God was on the verge of being revealed.

⁸ So He said: “Be careful, so as not to be deceived, because many will come in my name saying: ‘I am’ and ‘The time is at hand’. Therefore do not go after them.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let those who are in the city get out, and let those who are in the country not enter her. ²² Because these are days of vengeance, that all the written things may be fulfilled.

²⁷ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

³⁴ “But keep a watch on yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness, and cares of life, and that Day come upon you suddenly.

³⁴ “But keep a watch on yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness, and cares of life, and that Day come upon you suddenly. ³⁵ Because it will come like a trap upon all those who dwell on the surface of the whole earth. ³⁶ So be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that are about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.”

²⁵ Then He said to them: “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the Prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Was it really not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into His glory?”

⁴⁶ And He said to them: “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

¹¹ He came to His own things, yet His own people did not receive Him.

²⁶ John answered them saying, “I baptize with water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.

⁵ His mother says to the servants, “Do whatever He may tell you.”

³ He left Judea and went away into Galilee. ⁴ Now He needed to go through Samaria;

⁹ So the Samaritan woman says to Him, “How can you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” (for Jews do not associate with Samaritans).

²¹ Jesus says to her: “Woman, believe me, a time is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. ²² You [Samaritans] worship what you do not know; we [Jews] worship what we do know, because the salvation is from the Jews.

³⁹ Now many of the Samaritans from that city believed into Him because of the word of the woman, testifying that “He told me everything I ever did!” ⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to Him they urged Him to stay with them; and He did stay there two days. ⁴¹ Many more believed through His own word, ⁴² and they kept saying to the woman, “It’s not just because of what you said that we believe, because we ourselves have heard Him, and we know that this One is truly the Messiah, the Savior of the world!”

⁵⁰ Jesus says to him, “Go; your son lives.” Well the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and off he went. ⁵¹ Now while he was still going down his slaves met him and reported saying, “Your son lives!” ⁵² So he inquired of them the hour in which he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” ⁵³ So the father knew that it was at the exact hour in which Jesus told him, “Your son lives.” Both he himself and his whole household believed.

¹⁴ After these things Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well. Don’t sin any more, so that something worse doesn’t happen to you.”

²³ so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

³³ Then Jesus said, “For a little while I am still with you, and then I go to the One who sent me. ³⁴ You will look for me and not find me; also, where I am you cannot come.” ³⁵ So the Jews said among themselves: “Where does this fellow intend to go that we won’t find him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does he? ³⁶ What word is this that he spoke, ‘You will look for me and not find me; also, where I am you cannot come’?”

⁷ But since they kept on asking Him, straightening up He said to them, “Let the one without sin among you throw the first stone at her.” ⁸ And stooping down again He continued writing on the ground. ⁹ Now upon hearing this, and being convicted by their conscience, they began to go out one by one, starting with the older ones down to the least. So only Jesus was left, with the woman in the center. ¹⁰ So straightening up, and not seeing anyone except the woman, Jesus said to her, “Where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”

²¹ Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come.” ²² So the Jews said, “He won’t kill himself, will he, since he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?” ²³ He said to them: “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. ²⁴ That’s why I told you that you will die in your sins, because if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins.”

⁴⁸ So the Jews answered and said to Him, “We say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon —are we wrong?”

⁷ And He said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, ‘Sent’). So he went and washed, and came away seeing.

³⁸ So he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshipped Him.

¹⁰ But if anyone walks in the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him.”

²⁵ The one ‘loving’ his life will waste it, and the one ‘hating’ his life, in this world, will preserve it into eternal life.

³⁵ Then Jesus said to them: “The Light will be with you just a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness doesn’t overtake you; the one who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

³⁸ so that the word spoken by Isaiah the prophet should be fulfilled: “Lord, who has believed what we heard? And to whom has the arm of the LORD really been revealed?”

³³ “Little children, I am with you just a little longer. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.

⁵ “Now then, I am going away to Him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ ⁶ But because I have said these things to you sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ Nevertheless I am telling you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Helper will not come to you, but if I do go I will send Him to you.

¹⁶ “In just a little you won’t see me, and in another little you will see me, because I am going to the Father.” ¹⁷ Then some of His disciples said among themselves “What is this that He’s telling us, ‘In just a little you won’t see me, and in another little you will see me,’ and because ‘I am going to the Father’?” ¹⁸ So they said: “What is this ‘little’ that He mentions? We don’t know what He’s talking about.” ¹⁹ Well Jesus knew that they were wanting to question Him and said to them: “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘In just a little you won’t see me, and in another little you will see me’? ²⁰ Most assuredly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become grieved, but your grief will be turned into joy. ²¹ When a woman gives birth she has pain, because her time has come; but when the child is born she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. ²² So in your turn you are now experiencing grief, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

¹¹ Now I am no longer in the world, yet these are in the world, and I am coming to You.” Holy Father, keep them in Your name which You have given to me, so that they may be one just as we are. ¹² While I was with them in the world I kept them in Your name. I protected those whom You gave me, and not one of them was lost except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ But now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made full in them.

³⁶ Jesus answered: “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my subjects would fight so that I not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from here.”

¹⁵ So, when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I’m fond of you.” He says to him, “Feed my lambs.”

⁶ Well then, being together they asked Him saying, “Lord, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?” ⁷ So He said to them: “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has placed within His own authority. ⁸ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be witnesses to me —both in Jerusalem, and all Judea and Samaria, and even to the last part of the earth.”

⁵ Now Philip, having gone down to a city of Samaria, was proclaiming the Christ to them; ⁶ and the crowds gave heed with one accord to what Philip was saying, as they heard the words and saw the signs that he kept performing. ⁷ Because unclean spirits came out screaming from many who had them, and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. ⁸ Yes, there was great joy in that city! ⁹ Now a certain man named Simon was in the city first, practicing sorcery and astounding the people of Samaria, affirming himself to be someone great, ¹⁰ to whom they used to pay attention, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” ¹¹ They listened to him because he had amazed them with his sorceries for a long time. ¹² But, when they believed Philip, as he proclaimed the good news concerning the kingdom of God and the name, Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ Even Simon himself believed, and having been baptized he stayed right with Philip; observing miracles and signs occurring, he was amazed. ¹⁴ Now when the Apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, ¹⁵ who upon coming down prayed about them, so that they might receive Holy Spirit, ¹⁶ because He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized into the name of Jesus, the Christ. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands upon them and they received Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Well, upon observing that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the Apostles’ hands, Simon offered them money ¹⁹ saying, “Give this power to me also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive Holy Spirit.” ²⁰ But Peter said to him: “May your silver go with you into perdition, for thinking that the gift of God could be acquired with money! ²¹ You have neither part nor portion in this matter, because your heart is not right before God. ²² Turn away therefore from this your wickedness and make petition to God, in case the intent of your heart may be forgiven you; ²³ for I see you being into a gall of bitterness and a fetter of unrighteousness.” ²⁴ So in answer Simon said, “You make petition to the Lord on my behalf, so that nothing of what you have spoken may come upon me.” ²⁵ So when they had both thoroughly testified and spoken the word of the Lord they returned to Jerusalem; they also evangelized many Samaritan villages.

²⁵ So when Peter actually arrived, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet and worshipped. ²⁶ But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

²¹ precisely because, knowing God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks; so their reasonings became worthless and their senseless hearts were darkened.

¹² All have turned aside, together they have been made useless; there is no one who shows kindness, no, not so much as one.”

⁴ But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” ⁵ Even so then at this present time, there is a remnant according to an election by grace. ⁶ Now if by grace, it is no longer from works; otherwise the grace is no longer grace. But if from works, it is no longer grace; otherwise the work is no longer work. ⁷ What then? What Israel is seeking, this it did not obtain; but the election did obtain it, while the rest were dulled.

³⁵ Or “Who has ever given to Him and has to be repaid?”

²⁰ Therefore, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

¹³ Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another, but rather resolve this: not to put a stumbling block or pitfall in a brother’s way.

¹⁷ because the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

²⁰ Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are ‘clean’; however it is wrong for the man who gives offence by eating. ²¹ It is good not to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weakened.

¹⁷ Now I exhort you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine you have learned, and avoid them.

⁷ so that you lack no spiritual gift as you expectantly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹¹ And so the weak brother, for whom Christ died, will be wasted because of your knowledge. ¹² But when you thus sin against the brothers and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. ¹³ So then, if food causes my brother to fall, I will never eat meat again, lest I cause my brother to fall.

¹⁵ Now I have not used any of these rights, nor have I written these things that it should be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void ¹⁶ —I cannot boast because I preach the Gospel, because I am compelled to do so; indeed, woe is me if I don’t preach it! ¹⁷ (If I do this of my own volition, I have a reward; but if otherwise, I have been entrusted with a commission.)

²² to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

⁶ Now these things became examples for us, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. ⁷ And do not become idolaters, just like some of them; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to amuse themselves.” ⁸ And let us not fornicate, just as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand died! ⁹ Neither let us test the Christ, just as also some of them did—and were destroyed by the snakes! ¹⁰ And do not grumble, just as also some of them did—and were executed by the destroyer! ¹¹ Now all these things happened to them as examples and were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. ¹² So then, let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall!

³² Give no offense, either to Jews or to Greeks or to the Church of God

¹⁹ For there would really need to be factions among you so that the ‘approved’ ones may be recognized among you.

² And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

⁴ Love is patient and kind; love does not envy; love does not brag, is not proud, ⁵ is not indecent, is not self-seeking, is not ‘short-fused’, is not malicious; ⁶ it does not take pleasure in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; ⁷ it bears all, believes all, hopes all, endures all;

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God. ¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me has not been in vain; in fact, I have worked harder than all of them—well, not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

⁸ Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. ⁹ But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more cheerfully about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may take up residence upon me. ¹⁰ So then, I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

¹¹ But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was blameworthy. ¹² Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came he began to draw back and separate himself, fearing those of the circumcision party. ¹³ And the rest of the Jews played the hypocrite with him as well, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. ¹⁴ So when I saw that they were not walking straight according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all: “If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, why do you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?

³¹ Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor and slander be removed from you, with all malice. ³² Rather, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as in Christ God forgave you.

¹⁵ See then that you walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,

⁷ But such things as were gain to me, these I have considered loss for the sake of the Christ. ⁸ Yes indeed, in fact I actually consider everything to be a loss for the sake of the excelling thing, the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord —for His sake I have already lost everything (and consider it as trash), so that I may gain Christ

⁸ Yes indeed, in fact I actually consider everything to be a loss for the sake of the excelling thing, the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord —for His sake I have already lost everything (and consider it as trash), so that I may gain Christ ⁹ and be found in Him, not having as my righteousness that of the Law but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness of God based on faith;

¹³ I can handle anything through Christ who strengthens me.

²⁷ to whom God resolved to make known who is the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the nations, namely Christ in you, the hope of glory;

¹² Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience; ¹³ bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if anyone should have a complaint against another—just as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

¹⁶ trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved—so as to fill up the measure of their sins. They have received the full impact of the Wrath).

¹⁶ because the Lord Himself—with a commanding shout, with the archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet—will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first; ¹⁷ then we who are still alive, who are left, will be snatched up together with them in clouds to meet the Lord in the air. In precisely this way we will always be with the Lord.

¹ Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you do not need to be written to, ² for you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord comes just like a thief in the night.

² for you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord comes just like a thief in the night. ³ For whenever they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction is standing near them, like labor pains to a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

³ We are obligated to always give thanks to God about you, brothers, and properly so, because your faith is really growing, and the love of each and every one of you towards each other keeps increasing;

⁷ and rest (along with us) to you who are being afflicted, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful angels in blazing fire,

² not to be quickly shaken from your conviction or disturbed, whether by a spirit or a word or a letter as from us, as though the day of Christ has come.

⁸ And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and abolish by the splendor of His coming;

¹⁰ and with all wicked deception among those who are wasting themselves, because they did not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved. ¹¹ Yes, because of this God will send them an active delusion so that they will believe the lie ¹² and so that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in wickedness.

¹³ But as for you, brothers, do not lose heart in well doing. ¹⁴ If anyone does not obey our word in this letter, take note of him and don’t associate with him, that he may be shamed;

¹¹ —formerly he was unprofitable to you, but now he is profitable, both to you and to me.

³⁸ Now the righteous one will live by faith, yet if he backs away, my soul has no pleasure in him.” ³⁹ But we are not of those who back away into ruin, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

⁷ By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that is according to faith.

² looking unto Jesus, the Founder and Perfecter of the Faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured a cross, scorning its ignominy, and took His seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁵ taking care that no one come short of the grace of God, that no root of bitterness springing up cause trouble and thereby many be defiled,

¹ Come now, you rich, howl as you weep over your distresses that are coming upon you! ² Your wealth has decayed and your clothes have become moth-eaten. ³ Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire—you stored it up for the last days. ⁴ Look, the wages of the workers who cut your fields, that were unjustly held back by you, cry out, and the loud cries of the reapers have entered the ears of the Lord of Hosts. ⁵ You have lived on the earth in self-indulgence and luxury, you fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

⁸ You also be patient. Keep your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord has approached.

¹⁹ Brothers, if anyone among you should wander away from the truth, and someone should turn him back,

⁷ so that the demonstrated genuineness of your faith (much more precious than gold that perishes, albeit tested through fire) may translate into praise, glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ

¹³ Therefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, staying sober, rest your hope fully upon the grace being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ —

²² Since you have purified your souls by obeying the truth through the Spirit, resulting in sincere brotherly love, you must love one another fervently from a pure heart, ²³ having been begotten again, not from a corruptible seed but an incorruptible, through the living Word of God that remains valid forever.

¹⁹ in which He also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison ²⁰ who formerly were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, while the Ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is eight, souls were brought safely through water.

¹³ but to the extent that you share in Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, so that at the revelation of His glory you also may rejoice a great deal more.

⁵ Similarly, you younger ones, submit to elders. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, submitting to one another, because ‘God resists proud ones, but gives grace to humble ones’. ⁶ Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time;

¹ However, there were also false prophets among the people, just as, indeed, there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Owner who bought them (bringing on themselves swift destruction). ² And many will follow their licentious ways, because of which the way of the Truth will be defamed. ³ And in covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; since way back the judgment for such people is not slack, and their destruction will not sleep.

⁵ and did not spare the ancient world but preserved Noah, with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when He brought a flood on the world of the ungodly, ⁶ and condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes (providing a warning to those who are intent on being ungodly),

⁹ —then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,

¹⁸ Because speaking pompous words of emptiness they entice through fleshly lusts, through licentiousness, those who have actually escaped from those who are living in error, ¹⁹ promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. ²⁰ For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the real knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter circumstances have become worse for them than the first ones. ²¹ For it would have been better for them not to have really known the way of the righteousness, than having really known it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: a dog returns to its own vomit and a bathed sow to wallowing in mud.

⁶ by which word the world that then was perished, being flooded by water.

¹⁰ However, the day of the Lord will come like a thief at night, in which heavens will pass away with a whoosh, while the elements will be dissolved by burning—both the earth and the works in it will be completely consumed.

⁸ Look to yourselves, so that we not lose the things for which we worked but may receive a full reward.

⁷ So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns—who gave themselves up to fornication and went after a different kind of flesh in a manner similar to those angels—stand as an example, undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

⁷ Take note, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, including those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts [in dismay] because of Him. Yea, verily!

¹⁰ Do not fear any of the things that you are about to suffer: Take note, the devil is really about to throw some of you into prison, so that you may be tested, and you will have an affliction of ten days. Stay faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life.

¹⁴ ‘Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you have there adepts of the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things offered to idols and to fornicate.

²⁰ ‘Nevertheless I have against you that you tolerate your wife Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives my slaves to fornicate and to eat things offered to idols.

¹⁰ the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne saying:

¹⁴ and the four living beings saying the “Amen”. And the elders fell and did obeisance.

⁸ —and leave their corpses in the street of the great city! (which is called Sodom and Egypt, spiritually speaking), even where their Lord was crucified.

¹⁴ And he deceives my own people, those dwelling on the earth, by the signs that it was given to him to perform before the Beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the Beast who had the sword wound and lived. ¹⁵ And it was granted to him to give breath to the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast should actually speak, and should cause as many as would not worship the image of the Beast to be killed. ¹⁶ And he causes everyone—both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave—to receive marks on their right hand or on their foreheads, ¹⁷ so that no one would be able to buy or sell who does not have the mark, the name of the Beast or the number of his name. ¹⁸ Here is wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the Beast, for it is the number of man—his number is 666.

⁷ saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judging has come, and do obeisance to Him who made heaven and earth, the ocean and springs of water.”

⁴ And the twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshipped God, who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen, Hallelujah!” ⁵ And a voice came from the Throne saying, “”Praise our God, all you His slaves and those who fear Him, small and great!”

¹⁰ And I fell at his feet to worship him, but he says to me, “Don’t! I am your fellow slave and among your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, “Come, gather together to the great dinner of God, ¹⁸ so that you may eat flesh of kings and flesh of commanders and flesh of the mighty and flesh of horses along with their riders, even the flesh of all, both free and slave, both small and great.”
