Revelation 13:7-10 And he was given the power to wage war against the saints i.e., God’s holy people and to conquer them; and he was given authority over every tribe, race, language group and nation.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And he was given [the power] to wage war against the saints [i.e., God’s holy people] and to conquer them; and he was given authority over every tribe, race, language group and nation. ⁸ And everyone who lives on earth will worship the beast, [even those] people whose names had not been recorded in the book of life belonging to the Lamb, who was killed [in prospect] from the creation of the world. [Note: This sentence could also read “...not been recorded from the creation of the world in the book of life belonging to the Lamb who was killed”]. ⁹ If anyone has an ear, he should listen [to this]. ¹⁰ If anyone goes [or “leads others”] into captivity, he will go into captivity [himself]; if anyone is killed [or “kills others”] with the sword, he will be killed with the sword [himself]. Here is [where] God’s holy people [need] perseverance and faith.
