²⁸ Take heed to yourselves, and to all the flock in which the Holy Spirit appointed you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of God, which He purchased with His own blood. ²⁹ I know that, after my departure, grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock; ³⁰ and from among yourselves will men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. ³¹ Wherefore, watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not to admonish every one with tears.

¹ I charge you before God, and Christ Jesus, Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His Kingdom, ² preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching. ³ For there will be a time when they will not endure the healthful teaching; but, having itching ears, they will for themselves heap up teachers according to their own desires; ⁴ and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to the fables.

⁷ But the end of all things has drawn near; be ye, therefore, of sound mind, and be sober unto prayers;

⁴ and around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones twenty-four elders sitting, arrayed in white garments, and on their heads crowns of gold.

¹¹ And a white robe was given to each one of them; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet a little time, until their fellow-servants and their brethren, who were about to be slain, as they also had been, should fulfill their course.

⁹ After these things I saw, and, behold, a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation, and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands;

¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are clothed in white robes, who are they, and whence did they come?" ¹⁴ And I have said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are those who come out of the great tribulation; and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁸ And it was given to her that she should clothe herself in fine linen, bright, pure; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

³² "Every one, therefore, who shall confess Me before men, him will I also confess before My Father Who is in Heaven.

⁸ "And I say to you, every one who shall confess Me before men, him will the Son of Man confess before the angels of God;

³ Yea, I request you also, true yoke-fellow, help these women, who, indeed, labored with me in the Gospel, with Clement also, and my remaining fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.

²⁴ Now to Him Who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you without blemish, in gladness, before the presence of His glory,

⁷ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

⁴ But you have a few names in Sardis, who did not defile their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy.

⁸ And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the founding of a world.

⁸ The beast which you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And those who dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the founding of the world, when they behold the beast, that he was, and is not, and shall come.

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 that were written in the books, according to their works.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through Me.

¹⁴ but ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked that a man—a murderer—be granted to you;

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us understanding, that we may know the True One: and we are in the True One—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the True God, and eternal life.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the First-born of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him Who loveth, and loosed us from our sins in His own blood,

¹⁸ and the Living One; and I was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore; and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

¹ "To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write these things," saith He Who holdeth the seven stars in His right hand, He Who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:

¹⁴ "And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write these things," saith the Amen, the Faithful and the True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

⁸ And the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and they have no rest, day and night, saying, "Holy! Holy! Holy! the Lord God, the Almighty, Who was, and Who is, and Who is coming!"

³ And no one in Heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or to look upon it. ⁴ And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look upon it; ⁵ and one of the elders says to me, "Weep not; behold, the Lion Who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, prevailed to open the book, and its seven seals.

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, "Worthy art Thou to take the book, and to open its seals; because Thou wast slain, and didst redeem to God, by Thy blood, some of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

¹⁰ And they cried with a great voice, saying, "How long, O Master, the Holy, and the True, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?"

³ And they sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty; righteous and true are Thy ways, Thou King of the ages.

⁷ And I heard another out of the altar, saying, "Yea, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Thy judgments."

² because true and righteous are His judgments; because He judged the great harlot; who, indeed, corrupted the earth with her fornication, and He avenged the blood of His servants at her hand."

¹¹ And I saw Heaven opened; and, behold, a white horse, and He Who sat on him, called Faithful and True; and in righteousness doth He judge and make war.

⁵ And He Who sits upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He saith to me, "Write; because these words are faithful and true."

⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying, "I know not what you are saying." ⁷¹ And another maid saw him, when he walked out into the porch, and says to those there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene." ⁷² And again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the Man."

⁹ but he who denied Me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

²¹ He who has My commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves Me; and he that loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him." ²² Judas, not Iscariot, says to Him, "Lord, what has happened, that Thou art about to manifest Thyself to us, and not to the world?" ²³ Jesus answered, and said to him, "If any one loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our abode with him. ²⁴ He who loves Me not, keeps not My words; and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father's Who sent Me.

²⁰ Remember the word which I spake to you, 'A servant is not greater than his lord.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

⁶ I manifested Thy name to the men whom Thou gavest Me out of the world. Thine they were; and Thou gavest them to Me; and they have kept Thy word.

¹³ The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Child Jesus, Whom ye, indeed, delivered up, and denied before Pilate's face, when he gave judgment to release Him; ¹⁴ but ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked that a man—a murderer—be granted to you;

²⁷ And, having arrived, and having gathered together the assembly, they were rehearsing as many things as God did with them, and that He opened to the gentiles a door of faith.

⁹ for a door, great and effectual, has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

¹² Now, having come to Troas for the Gospel of Christ, and a door having been opened to me in the Lord,

⁸ Concerning this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. ⁹ And He hath said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you; for My power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Wherefore, I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then am I powerful.

¹³ I am strong enough for all things in Him Who strengtheneth me.

³ at the same time praying for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ (because of which I have also become bound),

⁸ But, if any one provides not for his own, and especially for his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

⁷ I have contended in the noble contest, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;

²² Who is the liar, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Anti-Christ, he that denies the Father and the Son. ²³ Every one who denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also.

⁴ For there crept in stealthily certain men, who of old were set forth for this condemnation, ungodly men, changing the grace of our God into lasciviousness; and denying the only Master and our Lord Jesus Christ.

² "I know your works and your toil, and your patience, and that you cannot bear evil men; and you tried those who call themselves apostles, and are not, and found them false;

¹ "And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write these things," saith He Who hath the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are living, and you are dead.

⁷ "And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write these things," saith He Who is holy, He Who is true, He Who hath the key of David, He Who openeth, and no one shall shut; and shutteth, and no one opens:

¹⁰ Because you kept the word of My patience. I also will keep you from the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole inhabited earth, to try those who dwell upon the earth.

¹⁵ "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would you were cold or hot.

⁷ And, behold, I come quickly! Happy is he that keeps the words of the prophecy of this book."

³⁷ But Paul said to them "Having beaten us in public, uncondemned, being Romans, they cast us into prison; and now are they casting us out secretly? Nay, verily; but, coming themselves, let them lead us out." ³⁸ And the serjeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid, when they heard that they were Romans; ³⁹ and, coming, they besought them; and, leading them forth, they kept asking them to go away from the city.

¹³ And bring us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.'

¹⁴ And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then shall the end come.

⁴¹ Watch, and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit, indeed, is willing, but the flesh is weak."

⁹ And verily I say to you, wheresoever the Gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman did shall be spoken of for a memorial of her."

¹ Now it came to pass, in those days, that there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the inhabited earth should be enrolled.

⁸ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

¹³ A temptation has not taken you, except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

¹³ On this account, take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day; and, having fully accomplished all, to stand.

¹² My brethren, can a fig tree produce olives; or a vine, figs? Neither can salt water yield sweet.

¹² Beloved, be not surprised at the fiery-test taking place among you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened to you;

⁹ the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous enduring punishment unto the day of judgment;

⁹ I, John, your brother, and fellow-sharer in the tribulation, and kingdom, and patience in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

¹⁰ Fear not the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the Devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

¹³ And I saw, and heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, "Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwell on the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!"

¹⁰ And those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry, and they will send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented those dwelling on the earth.

¹⁰ If anyone is for captivity, into captivity he goes; if anyone shall kill with a sword, with a sword he must be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

¹⁴ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to those dwelling on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who has the stroke of the sword, and lived.

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

²⁵ And every one who strives in the games exercises self restraint in all things; they, indeed, therefore, to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

⁵ Let your forbearance be known to all men: the Lord is near!

⁵ And, if also one contends in the games, he is not crowned, unless he contends lawfully.

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, will recompense to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those who have loved His appearing.

¹² Happy is a man who endures temptation; because, when he becomes approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to those who love Him.

⁹ Murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye be not judged: behold, The Judge has taken His stand before the doors!

³ neither as lording it over the allotted charges, but becoming examples to the flock; ⁴ and, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, ye will obtain the unfading crown of glory.

³ Happy is he that reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written therein; for the time is near.

³ Remember, therefore, how you have received, and did hear; and keep it, and repent. 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.

¹⁰ the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him Who sitteth on the throne, and will worship Him Who liveth forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

¹² "Behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to render to each one according as his work is.

²⁰ He Who testifieth these things saith, "Yea; I come quickly." Amen; come, Lord Jesus!

⁹ And, perceiving the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas right-hands of fellowship, that we should go to the gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

²⁶ But the Jerusalem which is above is free, which, indeed, is our mother; ²⁷ for it has been written, "Rejoice, O barren, that bear not! Break forth and cry, you that travail not! because many are the children of the desolate, rather than of her who has the husband."

¹⁵ from Whom every family in Heaven and on earth is named,

²² But ye have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because ye have known Him Who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have conquered the evil one. I wrote to you, little children, because ye have known the Father. ¹⁴ I wrote to you, fathers, because ye have known Him Who is from the beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have conquered the evil one.

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

¹⁷ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the Hidden Manna; and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knows, but he that receives it.

¹ And I saw, and, behold, the Lamb, standing on the mount Zion, and with Him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name, and the name of His Father, written on their foreheads.

¹⁴ These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them; because He is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and those with Him are called and chosen and faithful."

² And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

¹⁰ And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of the Heaven from God, ¹¹ having the glory of God; her radiance was like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal; ¹² having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel; ¹³ on the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates; ¹⁴ and the wall of the city, having twelve foundations; and on them, twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And he who was talking with me had as a measure a golden reed, that he might measure the city, and its gate, and its wall. ¹⁶ And the city lies four-square, and its length is as great as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs; and the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. ¹⁷ And he measured its wall a hundred and forty-four cubits, a man's measure, that is, an angel's. ¹⁸ And the material of its wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like pure glass. ¹⁹ The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every manner of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; ²⁰ the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates, severally, was of one pearl; and the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass. ²² And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof. ²³ And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine upon it; for the glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. ²⁴ And the nations will walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it. ²⁵ And its gates shall in nowise be shut by day (for there will be no night there); ²⁶ and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. ²⁷ And there shall in nowise enter into it any thing unclean, or he that works abomination and a lie; but only those written in the Lamb's book of life.

⁴ and they will see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.

²⁰ For however many are the promises of God, in Him is the "Yea"; wherefore, also, through Him is the "Amen," to the glory of God through us.

¹⁵ Who is the image of the invisible God, Primal Source of all creation;

¹⁸ And He is the Head of the body, the assembly; Who is the Beginning, the First-born from the dead, that in all things He may be preeminent;

¹ For I wish you to know how great a conflict I am having for you, and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh;

¹⁶ And, when the letter may be read among you, cause that it be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans, and that ye also read the one from Laodicea.

⁶ And He said to me, "It has come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give to him that thirsted of the fountain of the water of life freely.

⁶ And he said to me, "These words are faithful and true; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His servants the things which must shortly come to pass.

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

²⁴ "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.

³⁷ "He that loves father or mother more than Me, is not worthy of Me; and he that loves son or daughter more than Me, is not worthy of Me.

¹² and, because lawlessness abounds, the love of many will grow cold.

²⁷ And whosoever does not bear his own cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple. ²⁸ For who of you, wishing to build a tower, does not, first, sitting down, calculate the expense, whether he has enough for its completion?

¹¹ in diligence, not slothful; in spirit, fervent, serving the Lord;

²² If anyone loves not the Lord, let him be accursed, when the Lord cometh!

²⁰ For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I desire, and that I, too, should be found by you such as ye do not desire; lest, by any means, there should be strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all discernment;

³ We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith is growing exceedingly, and the love of each one of you abounds toward one another;

⁸ a double-souled man, unstable in all his ways.

²² Having purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another from the heart earnestly;

³ "Happy are the poor in spirit; because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

¹² And Jesus, hearing it, said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are ill.

⁵³ The hungry He filled with good things, and the rich He sent away empty.

²⁴ "But woe to you that are rich! because ye are receiving your consolation!

¹¹ The Pharisee, having taken his stand, was praying these things with himself: 'God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-collector! ¹² I fast twice on the Sabbath; I give a tenth of all that I acquire.'

⁴⁰ Those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and said to Him, "Are we also blind?" ⁴¹ Jesus said to them, "If ye were blind, ye would have no sin; but now ye say, 'We see,' your sin abides."

¹⁷ But, if you are called a Jew, and are resting upon the law, and are boasting in God, ¹⁸ and understand His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, ¹⁹ and have become confident that you are a guide of the blind, a light to those in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth; ²¹ you, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that men should not steal, do you steal? ²² You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? ²³ You who boast in law, do you dishonor God through your transgression of the law?

²⁴ Wretched man that I am! who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

²⁰ Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, but you have been standing by faith. Do not cherish lofty thoughts; but fear.

²⁵ For I do not wish you, brethren, to be ignorant of this mystery (lest ye be wise in your own conceits), that a hardening, in part, has befallen Israel, until the fulness of the gentiles come in;

³ For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one among you, not to think of himself more highly than he night to think, but so to think as to think soberly, according as God divided to each one a measure of faith.

⁸ Have ye already become satisfied? Did ye already become rich? Did ye reign without us? I wish, at least, that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. ⁹ For, I think, God did set forth us the apostles last, as doomed to death; because we became a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. ¹⁰ We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are highly esteemed; but we are without honor.

⁹ for he to whom these things are lacking is blind, seeing dimly, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

⁴⁴ "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and in his joy he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

⁹ But the wise answered, saying, 'Perhaps there will not be enough for us and you; go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'

²¹ So is he who is laying up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

⁶ Having thus spoken, He spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay, ⁷ and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is interpreted, Sent). He went, therefore, and washed, and came seeing. ⁸ The neighbors, therefore, and those formerly beholding him, that he was a beggar, said, "Is not this he that sits and begs?" ⁹ Some said, "This is he;" others said, "No, but he is like him;" he said, "I am he." ¹⁰ They said, therefore, to him, "How then were your eyes opened?" ¹¹ He answered, "The Man Who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash;' having gone, therefore, and washed, I received sight."

¹² And, if any one builds on the foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; ¹³ the work of each one shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will prove each one's work, of what sort it is.

³ if, indeed, being also clothed, we will not be found naked.

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich.

¹⁸ that they do good, that they be rich in good works, free to impart, liberal;

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren, did not God choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love Him?

⁷ that the proving of your faith—being much more precious than gold that perishes, but is proved through fire—may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

²⁰ And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye all know Him. ²¹ I did not write to you because ye know not the truth; but because ye know it, and because no falsehood is of the truth. ²² Who is the liar, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Anti-Christ, he that denies the Father and the Son. ²³ Every one who denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also. ²⁴ As for you, let that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Father. ²⁵ And this is the promise which He Himself promised us, the eternal life. ²⁶ These things I wrote to you concerning those who would deceive you. ²⁷ And the Anointing which ye received from Him abideth in you, and ye have no need that anyone teach you; but as His Anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as He taught you, ye abide in Him.

⁴ But you have a few names in Sardis, who did not defile their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy. ⁵ He that overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will in nowise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

¹⁷ Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing'; and do not know that you are the wretched one, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked!

¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are clothed in white robes, who are they, and whence did they come?"

¹⁷ His disciples remembered that it had been written, "Zeal for Thy house will eat Me up,"

³² but, being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

⁹ as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

¹¹ For, behold this very thing—that ye were made sorry after a godly manner—what diligence it wrought in you; yea, what defense of yourselves; yea, what indignation; yea, what fear; yea what earnest desire; yea, what zeal; yea, what avenging! In everything ye proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

¹⁸ But it is good to be zealously sought in a good thing at all times, and not only when I am present with you,

¹⁴ who gave Himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a special people, zealous of good works.

⁵ and ye have forgotten the exhortation which, indeed, reasons with you as with sons: "My son, do not lightly regard the chastening of the Lord; neither faint, when reproved by Him; ⁶ for whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He acknowledgeth." ⁷ For chastening endure ye: God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chastens not? ⁸ But, if ye are without chastisement, of which all have become partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. ⁹ Furthermore, we used to have the fathers of our flesh as chasteners, and we reverenced them: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of our spirits, and live? ¹⁰ For they, indeed, for a few days were chastening us, according to what seemed good to them; but He for our profit, that we may partake of His holiness. ¹¹ All chastening, indeed, for the present seems not to be joyous, but grievous; but afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained thereby.

³³ even so ye, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors.

³⁶ and yourselves like men waiting for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may straightway open to him. ³⁷ Happy are those servants, whom their lord, when coming, shall find watching! Verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them recline; and, coming near, he will serve them.

⁸ and will not rather say to him, 'Make ready wherewith I may sup; and, having girded yourself, serve me, until I eat and drink; and afterward you shall eat and drink?'

²¹ He who has My commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves Me; and he that loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him." ²² Judas, not Iscariot, says to Him, "Lord, what has happened, that Thou art about to manifest Thyself to us, and not to the world?" ²³ Jesus answered, and said to him, "If any one loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our abode with him.

⁹ And he says to me, "Write, Happy are those who have been called to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he says to me, "These are true words of God."

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, "Verily I say to you, that ye who followed Me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man shall sit upon the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹⁸ And Jesus, coming near, spake to them, saying, "All authority was given to Me in Heaven and on earth:

³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²² For neither doth the Father judge any one, but all judgment He hath given to the Son; ²³ that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father Who sent Him.

³³ These things have I spoken to you, that in Me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

² Or know ye not that the saints will judge the world? And, if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy of the smallest tribunals? ³ Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, then, things pertaining to this life?

²⁰ which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and seated Him at His right hand in the Heavenly places, ²¹ far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that to come; ²² and He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as Head over all things to the assembly, ²³ which, indeed, is His body, the fulness of Him Who is filling all in all.

⁹ Wherefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed upon Him the name which is above every name; ¹⁰ that, in the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of beings in Heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, ¹¹ and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. ¹² So then, my beloved, as ye always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; ¹³ for it is God Who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure. ¹⁴ Do all things without murmurings and disputings; ¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, irreproachable in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye appear as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ holding forth the word of life, for an occasion of glorying to me at the day of Christ, that I ran not in vain, neither labored in vain. ¹⁷ But even if I am offered as a libation upon the sacrifice and ministry of your faith, I rejoice, and I rejoice with you all; ¹⁸ and in the same thing do ye also rejoice, and rejoice with me. ¹⁹ But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus shortly to send Timothy to you, that I also may be cheerful, when having known the things concerning you. ²⁰ For I have no one like-minded, who, indeed, will sincerely care for your interests; ²¹ for all are seeking their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

¹² if we endure, we shall also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;

⁴ because all that has been begotten of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. ⁵ And who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶ and made us a kingdom, and priests to God and His Father; to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

²⁶ And he that overcomes, and he that keeps My works until the end, to him will I give authority over the nations; ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of earthenware are broken in pieces, as I also have received from My Father;

⁵ and one of the elders says to me, "Weep not; behold, the Lion Who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, prevailed to open the book, and its seven seals. 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, as if 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 hath taken it out of the right hand of Him Who sitteth upon the throne. ⁸ And, when He took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having, each, a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

² And I saw, and, behold, a white horse, and He Who sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given to him; and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

¹⁷ because the Lamb, Who is in the midst of the throne, will be their Shepherd, and will guide them to the fountains of the waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

¹¹ and they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they loved not their soul, even to death.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them; and judgment was given to them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God; and such as worshiped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

¹¹ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in nowise be hurt by the second death.

⁶ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.

¹³ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
