³⁰ Indeed, I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be accomplished. ³¹ For heaven and earth shall fail: but my words shall not fail.

³¹ For heaven and earth shall fail: but my words shall not fail. ³² But of that day, or of that hour, knows none, (not the angels; no, not the Son,) but the Father. ³³ Be circumspect, be vigilant, and pray; for you know not when that time will be.

³³ Be circumspect, be vigilant, and pray; for you know not when that time will be. ³⁴ When a man intends to travel, he leaves his household in charge to his servants, assigns to every one his task, and orders the porter to watch. ³⁵ Watch you, therefore; for you know not when the master of the house will return, (whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or in the morning;) ³⁶ lest coming suddenly, he find you asleep. ³⁷ Now what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.

³⁷ Now what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.

⁸ She has done what she could. She has beforehand embalmed my body for the funeral. ⁹ Indeed, I say to you, in whatsoever corner of the world the glad tidings shall be proclaimed, what this woman has now done, shall be mentioned to her honor.

³³ Now from the sixth hour until the ninth, darkness covered all the land.

²⁵ I tell you of a truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when heaven was shut up for three years and a half, so that there was great famine throughout all the land;

²² Happy shall you be when men shall hate you, and separate your from their society; yes, reproach and defame you, on account of the Son of Man!

¹⁴ By the ground encumbered with thorns, are meant those hearers who are entangled in the business, and pursuits, and pleasures of life; which stifle the word, so that it brings no fruit to maturity. ¹⁵ But by the good soil are meant those, who, having heard the word, retain it in a good and honest heart, and persevere in bringing forth fruit.

⁴³ and a woman, who had been twelve years afflicted with an issue of blood, and had consumed all her living upon physicians, none of whom could cure her,

²⁷ I assure you, that there are some standing here, who shall not taste death till they see the Reign of God.

⁴¹ Jesus answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious, and trouble yourself about many things.

¹² and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me my portion of the estate. And he allotted to them their shares.

³ Take heed yourselves: if your brother trespass against you, rebuke him; and if he reforms, forgive him;

²³ But when they say to you, Lo, here! or Lo, yonder! go not out to follow them.

³¹ On that day, let not him who shall be on the house-top, having his furniture in the house, come down to take it away. Let not him who shall be in the field, return home. ³² Remember Lot's wife. ³³ Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life, shall preserve it.

³⁷ Then they asked him, Where, Master? He answered, Where the body is, the eagles will be assembled.

¹ He also showed them, by a parable, that they ought to persist in prayer, without growing weary.

⁷ And will not God avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he linger in their cause?

²⁷ But as for those my enemies, who would not have me for their king, bring them hither, and slay them in my presence.

³⁷ When he was so near as the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God in loud acclamations, for all the miracles which they had seen;

⁴³ for the days are coming upon thee, when thine enemies will surround thee with a rampart, and inclose thee, and shut thee up on every side; ⁴⁴ and will level thee with the ground, thee and thy children, and will not leave one stone upon another, because thou didst not know the time when thou wast visited. ⁴⁵ Afterward he went into the temple, and drove out thence those who sold, and those who bought in it, ⁴⁶ saying to them, It is written, "My house is a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers." ⁴⁷ And he taught daily in the temple, while the chief priests and the scribes, and persons of principal note, sought his destruction; ⁴⁸ but could not devise how to effect it: for all the people heard him with the greatest attention.

³⁵ but, among them who shall be honored to share in the resurrection, and the other world, there will be neither marrying nor giving in marriage;

⁷ Then they asked him, saying, Rabbi, when will these things be: and what will be the sign, when they are about to be accomplished? ⁸ He answered, Take care that you be not seduced: for many will assume my character, saying, I am the person, and the time approaches; therefore, do not follow them.

¹⁸ Yet not a hair of your head shall be lost. ¹⁹ Save your souls by your perseverance. ²⁰ Now, when you shall see Jerusalem invested with armies, know that its desolation is nigh. ²¹ Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains; let those in the city make their escape, and let not those in the country enter the city:

²⁵ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth, the anguish of desponding nations; and roarings in the seas, and floods; ²⁶ men expiring with the fear and apprehension of those things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. ²⁷ Then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great glory and power.

²⁷ Then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great glory and power. ²⁸ Now when these things begin to be fulfilled, look up, and lift up your heads; because your deliverance approaches.

²⁸ Now when these things begin to be fulfilled, look up, and lift up your heads; because your deliverance approaches.

³² Indeed, I say to you, that this race shall not fail until all be accomplished.

³⁹ Then he went out, and repaired, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.

²⁹ for the days are coming, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, the wombs which never bare, and the breasts which never gave suck!

⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the scriptures;

²⁰ The Jews replied, Forty and six years was this temple in building; and you would rear it in three days?

⁴³ I am come in my Father's name, and you did not receive me; if another come, in his own name, you will receive him.

⁷ The world can not hate you; but me it hates, because I disclose the wickedness of its actions.

¹ but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. ² Early in the morning he returned to the temple, and all the people having come to him, he sat down and taught them.

²⁰ These things he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple, and no person seized him, his hour not being yet come.

²⁴ therefore I said, You shall die in your sins; for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins.

¹ Six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead.

¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, I having selected you from the world, the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember what I said to you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have observed my word, they will also observe yours. ²¹ But all this treatment they will give you on my account, because they know not him who sent me.

² They will expel you from the synagogue; nay, the time is coming, when, whosoever kills you, will think he offers sacrifice to God. ³ And these things they will do, because they know not the Father nor me.

¹⁴ I have delivered thy word to them, and the world hates them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

²¹ Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, And what, Lord, shall become of this man? ²² Jesus answered, If I will that he wait my return, what is that to you? Follow me.

⁶ They, therefore, being assembled together, asked him, saying, Lord, wilt thou, at this time, restore the kingdom to Israel? ⁷ But he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has reserved to himself.

⁹ And, having said these things, while they beheld, he was lifted up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. ¹⁰ And while they were steadfastly looking up to heaven, as he ascended, behold two men in white raiment stood near them; ¹¹ who also said, Galileans, why do you stand gazing up to heaven? This Jesus, who is taken up from you into heaven, shall also come in the same manner as you have seen him going to heaven. ¹² Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a Sabbath day's journey.

⁴ and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

¹⁹ and I will give prodigies in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood and fire, and a cloud of smoke:

¹⁹ and I will give prodigies in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood and fire, and a cloud of smoke: ²⁰ the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and illustrious day of the Lord come.

⁴⁴ And all that believed were together, and had all things in common. ⁴⁵ They also sold their possessions and effects, and distributed them to every one according to his necessity.

³ And they laid hands on them, and committed them into custody to the next day; for it was now evening. ⁴ But many of those who had heard the word, believed: and the number of the men was about five thousand. ⁵ And the next day their rulers, elders, and scribes, gathered together at Jerusalem: ⁶ both Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas; also John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priest's kindred. ⁷ And having set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have you done this? ⁸ Then Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel; ⁹ if we are this day examined about the benefit conferred on the impotent man, by what means he is healed; ¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that through the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead: yes, by HIM this man stands before you hale. ¹¹ This is the stone which was set at nought by you builders, that is become the head of the corner: ¹² and there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we can be saved. ¹³ Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were illiterate men, and in private stations in life, they were astonished, and recollected their having been with Jesus.

²⁷ For of a truth, against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel,

³¹ And while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken: and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with freedom. ³² Now the heart and soul of the multitude of believers was one: nor did any one call any of his possessions his own; but all things were common among them. ³³ And with great power did the Apostles give forth their testimony concerning the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great kindness was among them all. ³⁴ Neither was there one indigent person among them; for as many as were proprietors of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold,

¹⁷ But the high priest arising, and all they that were him, being the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with zeal, ¹⁸ and laid their hands on the Apostles, and put them into the common prison. ¹⁹ But a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison, and bringing them out, said,

³⁶ Some time ago Theudas arose, pretending himself to be a person of note: to whom a number of men, about four hundred, adhered, who was slain; and all who hearkened to him were scattered, and came to nothing. ³⁷ After him, Judas, the Galilean, arose, in the days of the enrollment, and drew a multitude of people after him, and he was destroyed; and all who hearkened to him were dispersed.

⁴⁰ And they yielded to him; and having called in the Apostles, and scourged them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.

¹⁰ And they were not able to resist the wisdom and spirit with which he spoke.

¹² And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and setting upon him, they dragged him away with them, and brought him to the Sanhedrim. ¹³ And they set up false witnesses, who said, This man is incessantly speaking against this holy place, and the law:

¹³ And they set up false witnesses, who said, This man is incessantly speaking against this holy place, and the law: ¹⁴ for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change its customs, which Moses delivered to us.

¹⁴ for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change its customs, which Moses delivered to us. ¹⁵ And all that sat in the Sanhedrim, fixing their eyes upon him, saw his countenance like the countenance of an angel.

⁵⁷ But crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord. ⁵⁸ And casting him out of the city, they stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, whose name was Saul. ⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. ⁶⁰ And bending his knees, he cried with a loud voice, O Lord, charge not this sin to their account. And when he had said this he fell asleep.

³ But Saul made havoc of the congregation, entering into houses, and dragging men and whom, whom he committed to prison.

⁹ But there was a certain man named Simon, who had, before, in that city, used magic, and astonished the nation of Samaria; pretending himself to be some extraordinary person: ¹⁰ to whom they all paid regard, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

⁴ and he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?

¹⁶ for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name.

² a man of piety, and one that feared God, with all his house; giving, also, much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.

³⁴ Then Peter, opening his mouth, said, Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons;

²⁸ And one of them, whose name was Agabus, stood up, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be a great famine over all the land: which came to pass in the days of Claudius.

¹ Now, about that time, Herod, the king, laid hands on some of the congregation, to afflict them. ² And he slew James, the brother of John, with the sword.

² And he slew James, the brother of John, with the sword. ³ And as he saw that this was acceptable to the Jews, he went on to seize Peter also: and it was in the days of unleavened bread; ⁴ and having seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to the custody of four quaternions of soldiers, intending, after the passover, to bring him out to the people.

²² And the populace rose up together against them; and the generals tearing off their garments, commanded them to be beaten with rods. ²³ And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely. ²⁴ Who, having received such a strict charge, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet fast in the stocks. ²⁵ But at midnight, Paul and Silas having prayed, sung a hymn to God: and the prisoners heard them. ²⁶ And, on a sudden, there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prisoner were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all the prisoners were loosed.

²⁶ And he has made of one blood, the whole race of men, to inhabit all the face of the earth; having marked out the times previously arranged in order, and the boundaries of their habitations:

³⁰ And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people; and laying hold of Paul, they dragged him out of the temple: and immediately the gates were shut. ³¹ And when they went about to kill him, word was brought to the commander of the cohort, that all Jerusalem was in confusion:

³⁰ And on the next day, desiring to know certainly of what he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him; and commanded the chief priests, and all the Sanhedrim, to come together; and bringing Paul down, he set him before them.

¹ And, after five days, the high, Ananias, came down, with the elders, and a certain orator, named Tertullus: and they made their appearance before the governor, against Paul. ² And he being called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, As we enjoy great peace by your means, and as illustrious deeds are happily done to this nation, by your prudent administration; ³ we accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ But, that I may not further trouble you, I beseech you to hear us briefly, with your usual candor. ⁵ for we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world; and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: ⁶ who has attempted to profane the temple; and whom we apprehended, and would have judged according to our law; ⁷ but Lysias, the commander, coming upon us with a great force, took him away out of our hands, ⁸ commanding his accusers to come to you; by which means, you may yourself, on examination, know the certainty of all these things, of which we accuse him. ⁹ And the Jews also gave their assent, saying, that these things were so.

²⁵ And he reasoned concerning righteousness and temperance, and judgment to come, Felix, trembling, answered, Go your way for this time, and I will take some future opportunity to call for you.

¹ When Festus, therefore, was come into the province, after three days, he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem; ² and the high priest, and the chief among the Jews, appeared before him against Paul, and entreated him

¹¹ For, if, indeed, I have done wrong, or have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if there is no fact of which they accuse me, no man can give me up to gratify them! I appeal to Cesar. ¹² Then Festus, having spoken with the council, answered, Have you appealed to Cesar? To Cesar you shall go.

²² Then Agrippa said to Festus, I also would willingly hear the man myself. And he said, To-morrow you shall hear him. ²³ The next day, therefore, Agrippa and Bernice, coming with great pomp, and entering into the place of audience, with the commanders and principal men of the city; at the command of Festus, Paul was brought forth. ²⁴ And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all you who are present with us! you see this man, concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews have pleaded with me, both at Jerusalem, and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer. ²⁵ But I could not apprehend him to have done anything worthy of death; yet, as he himself has appealed to his majesty, I have determined to send him.

² I esteem myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am this day to make my defense before you, concerning all those things of which I am accused by the Jews; ³ especially as you are acquainted with all the customs and questions among the Jews: wherefore, I entreat you, that you will hear me with patience. ⁴ The manner of my life, from my youth, which, from the beginning, was spent among my own nation, in Jerusalem, is known to all the Jews; ⁵ who knew me from the first, (if they would testify,) that, according to the strictest sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee. ⁶ And now I stand in judgment for the hope of that promise, which was made by God to our fathers: ⁷ to which promise, our twelve tribes, worshiping continually, night and day, hope to attain: concerning which hope, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews. ⁸ Why should it be judged an incredible thing, by you, that God should raise the dead? ⁹ I, indeed, thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus, the Nazarene. ¹⁰ Which, accordingly, I did in Jerusalem; and I shut up many of the saints in prison, having received authority from the chief priests. And when some of them were killed, I gave my vote against them: ¹¹ and frequently punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

²⁸ Then Agrippa said to Paul, You almost persuade me to be a Christian.

³⁴ I exhort you, therefore, to take a refreshment; for this is conducive to your safety: for not a hair shall fall from the head of any of you.

⁵ But according to your obdurate and impenitent heart, you treasure up to yourself wrath, against a day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

⁷ eternal life, indeed, to them who, by perseverance in well-doing, seek glory, honor, and immortality:

³ and not only so, but we rejoice even in afflictions; knowing that affliction produces patience;

¹⁹ For the earnest expectation of the creature, is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

²³ And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first fruit of the Spirit; even we ourselves, groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption; namely, the redemption of our body.

²⁵ But if we hope for that which we do not enjoy, then, with patience, we wait for it.

²⁵ For, brethren, that you may not be, wise in your own conceits, I would not have you ignorant of this secret, that blindness, in part, has happened to Israel, till the fullness of the Gentiles come in.

¹¹ Further, knowing the season, that it is now the hour for us to awake out of sleep. (For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed: ¹² the night is far advanced, and the day is at hand.) Let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. ¹³ Let us walk about decently, as in the day, not in revellings and drunkenness; not in chamberings and lasciviousness; not in strife and envy.

⁴ Now whatever things were before written, were written for our instruction: that through the patience and admonition of the scriptures, we might have hope.

¹¹ But now I write to you, if any one, called a brother, be a fornicator, or a covetous person, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; not to associate, not even to eat, with such a person.

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor misers, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

⁵ Now, we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants, for Jesus' sake.

¹¹ For we who live are always exposed to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

² that in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy, and their extreme poverty, superabounded to the riches of their liberality: ³ that to their power, (I bear witness,) yes, beyond their power, they were willing of themselves; with much entreaty

¹² For if there be a willing mind, according to what a person has, he is accepted; and not according to what he has not.

⁶ Now this I say, he who sows sparingly, shall reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully, shall reap bountifully. ⁷ Every one according as he has purposed in his heart, ought to give; not with regret, nor by constraint; for God loves a cheerful giver.

¹³ For such are false Apostles, deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into Apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder; for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. ¹⁵ Therefore, it is no great wonder if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness: whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁰ Wherefore, I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with necessities, with persecutions, with distresses, for Christ's sake; because when I am weak, then I am strong.

³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you are sealed till the day of redemption.

⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain speeches; for on account of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.

¹³ For this reason, take up the complete armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having fully wrought everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand, then, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

¹⁸ With all supplication and deprecation, pray at all seasons in spirit; and for this very purpose, watch with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints: ¹⁹ especially for me, that eloquence may be given me in opening my mouth with boldness, to make known the secret of the gospel;

¹⁹ especially for me, that eloquence may be given me in opening my mouth with boldness, to make known the secret of the gospel;

¹² Now I wish you to know, brethren that the things which have befallen me, have turned out rather to the advancement of the gospel.

²⁸ and not terrified in anything by your adversaries; which is to them a demonstration of perdition; but to you of salvation, and that from God. ²⁹ For to you it is graciously given, on the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

⁶ Be anxious about nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;

² Continue instant in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving; ³ at the same time, also, praying for us, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to speak the secret of Christ, for which, indeed, I am in bonds; ⁴ that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

³ incessantly remembering your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God, even our Father;

¹⁵ who both killed the Lord, and the prophets, and have greatly persecuted us, and do not please God, and are contrary to all men; ¹⁶ hindering us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved; so that they fill up their iniquities always: but the wrath of God is coming upon them at length.

¹⁶ hindering us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved; so that they fill up their iniquities always: but the wrath of God is coming upon them at length.

³ that no one should be moved by these afflictions; for yourselves know that we are appointed to them. ⁴ For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we were to be afflicted; which also happened as you know.

² for yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. ³ When they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. ⁴ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should come upon you like a thief. ⁵ You are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not sons of night, nor of darkness. ⁶ Therefore, let us not sleep, even as others; but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For they who sleep, sleep in the night; and they who get drunk, get drunk in the night. ⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

¹⁷ Pray without ceasing.

⁵ a proof of the righteous judgment of God, that you might be counted truly worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you thus suffer:

⁵ a proof of the righteous judgment of God, that you might be counted truly worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you thus suffer: ⁶ seeing it is just with God to return affliction to them who afflict you-

³ Let no one lead you into a mistake by any means; because the apostasy must first appear, and the man of sin, the son of perdition, must be first revealed,

⁹ he will, indeed, utterly destroy him, whose coming is according to the energy of Satan, with all the power, and signs, and wonders of falsehood; ¹⁰ and with all the deceit of unrighteousness among the destroyed; because they did not embrace the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ For this cause, God will send them strong delusion, that they may believe a lie;

⁵ And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

¹³ but wicked men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

⁵ But do you watch at all times; bear evil treatment; do the work of an evangelist; fully perform your ministry.

¹⁶ At my first answer, no one appeared with me, but all forsook me. May it not be laid to their charge! ¹⁷ However, the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me, the proclamation might be fully declared, and all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹¹ Yet, we earnestly desire every one of you to show the same diligence, in order to the realizing of this hope, to the end-

¹⁵ and so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.

¹² entered once into the holy places, having obtained eternal redemption; not indeed, by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood. ¹³ For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the polluted, sanctified to the cleansing of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, through an Eternal Spirit, offered himself without fault, to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? ¹⁵ And, for this reason, he is mediator of the new institution, that, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first institution, those who had been called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. ¹⁶ Now, where there is such an institution, the death of the instituted sacrifice must necessarily intervene: ¹⁷ for since the institution is ratified over the dead, it has no force while the instituted sacrifice lives.

²⁶ For if we sin willfully, after having received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins;

²⁶ For if we sin willfully, after having received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins; ²⁷ but a dreadful expectation of judgment, and of a fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

²⁷ but a dreadful expectation of judgment, and of a fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. ²⁸ Any one who disregarded the law of Moses, died without mercy, by two or three witnesses. ²⁹ Of how much sorer punishment, think you, shall he be counted worthy, who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and reckoned the blood of the institution by which he was sanctified, a common thing, and has insulted the Spirit of Favor? ³⁰ For we know him who has said, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord": and again, "The Lord will judge his people." ³¹ It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³⁶ For you must persevere in doing the will of God, that you may obtain the promised reward. ³⁷ For yet a very little while, and He who is coming, will come, and will not tarry.

¹⁵ carefully observing, lest any one come short of the favor of God; lest some bitter root springing up, trouble you, and by it many be polluted;

²⁷ Now this speech, "YET ONCE," signifies the removing of the things shaken, as of things which were constituted, that the things not shaken may remain.

¹⁶ But to do good, and to communicate, forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

³ knowing that the proof of your faith works out patience.

⁵ If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God: who gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not, and it shall be given to him.

¹ Come, now, you rich men, weep, howl, on account of your miseries, which are coming upon you.

⁷ Behold the husbandman, who expects the valuable fruit of the earth, waits patiently for it, till it receive the early and later rain. ⁸ Be you also patient-strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws nigh. ⁹ Repine not against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned: behold, the Judge stands before the door.

⁹ Repine not against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned: behold, the Judge stands before the door. ¹⁰ Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord: for an example of suffering evil, and of patience. ¹¹ Behold, we call them happy, who are patient. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

²⁵ Now this is that word which has been proclaimed as glad tidings to you.

⁹ the Lord knows how to rescue the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unrighteous to a day of judgment to be punished;

⁷ But the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured up, being kept for fire to a day of judgment, and destruction of ungodly men.

⁷ But the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured up, being kept for fire to a day of judgment, and destruction of ungodly men. ⁸ But this one thing, let it not escape you, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ⁹ The Lord does not delay his promise in the manner some account delaying; but he exercises long-suffering toward us, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should come to reformation. ¹⁰ However, as thief, the day of the Lord will come; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements burning shall be dissolved; and the earth, and the works that are upon it, shall be utterly burned.

¹⁰ However, as thief, the day of the Lord will come; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements burning shall be dissolved; and the earth, and the works that are upon it, shall be utterly burned. ¹¹ Seeing, then, all these things shall be dissolved; -what sort of persons ought you to be, in holy behavior and godliness,

¹¹ Seeing, then, all these things shall be dissolved; -what sort of persons ought you to be, in holy behavior and godliness, ¹² expecting and earnestly desiring, the coming of the day of God; in which the heavens being set on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements burning, shall be melted?

¹² expecting and earnestly desiring, the coming of the day of God; in which the heavens being set on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements burning, shall be melted? ¹³ But we, according to his promise, expect new heavens, and a new earth, in which dwells righteousness. ¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, expecting these things, diligently endeavor to be found of him spotless, and irreproachable, in peace.

²⁸ And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and may not be put to shame by him, at his coming.

¹ Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they be from God; because many false prophets are gone forth into the world.

⁷ for many deceivers are entered into the world, who do not confess Jesus Christ did come in the flesh. This is the deceiver, and the antichrist.

²⁴ Now to him who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory, with exceeding joy;

³ Happy is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is at hand.

⁷ Behold, he is coming in the clouds; and every eye shall see him, even they who pierced him: and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of him. Yes: so let it be.

⁹ I, John, who am also your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

² I know your works, and your labor, and your patience; and that you can not bear those who are evil: and you have tried those who say they are Apostles, and are not, and have found them liars; ³ and you have patience; and have borne for my name's sake, and have not fainted.

³ and you have patience; and have borne for my name's sake, and have not fainted.

¹⁰ Fear none of the things which you shall suffer; behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation ten days: be you faithful until death, and I will give you a crown of life.

¹³ I know your works, and where you dwell; even where the throne of Satan is: and you hold fast my name, and have not denied my faith, even in those days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.

³ Remember, therefore, how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and reform: therefore, unless you are watchful, I will come upon you as thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.

¹⁰ Because you have kept the word of my patience, I will also keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try the inhabitants of the earth.

² And I saw, and behold, a white horse; and he who sat upon it, had a bow, and there was given him a crown; and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. ³ And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature, saying, Come- ⁴ And another horse came out, which was red; and it was given to him who sat upon it, to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay each other; and there was given to him a great sword. ⁵ And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature, saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat upon it, has a pair of scales in his hand. ⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, A chenix of wheat for a denarius, and three chenices of barley for a denarius; you see that you injure not the oil, nor the wine. ⁷ And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature, saying, Come and see. ⁸ And I saw, and behold, a pale horse; and as for him who sat on it, his name was Death; and Hades followed him: and there was given to him power to slay the fourth part of the earth with the sword, and with famine, and with death, and with the wild beasts of the field. ⁹ And when he opened the fifth sea, I saw, under the altar, the souls of those who were slaughtered on account of the word of God, and the testimony which they held.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth sea, I saw, under the altar, the souls of those who were slaughtered on account of the word of God, and the testimony which they held. ¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, and said, How long, O sovereign Lord, holy and true, before thou dost judge, and avenge our blood upon those who dwell on the earth? ¹¹ And there were given to each of them white robes; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet a while, till the number of their fellow-servants and brethren who should be killed, as they had been, should be completed. ¹² And I saw, when he opened the sixth seal, and there was an earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair; and the moon became as blood;

¹² And I saw, when he opened the sixth seal, and there was an earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair; and the moon became as blood; ¹³ and the stars fell from heaven, on the earth, as fig tree drops its untimely figs, being shaken by a mighty wind: ¹⁴ and the heavens passed away like a scroll, when it is rolled up; and every mountain, and island, was moved out of its place:

² and the outer court of the temple throw out, and measure it not; for it shall be given to the Gentiles, and they shall trample upon the holy city forty-two months.

⁹ And thus the great dragon was cast out; even the old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the world, was cast out to the earth; and his angels were cast out with him.

¹¹ And they have overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death.

¹⁰ If any one lead them into captivity, he shall be led into captivity: if any one slay with the sword, he shall himself be slain with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

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

¹⁴ And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud, one sitting like a Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

¹⁵ Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, that he may not walk naked, so that they should see his shame.

⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out from her, my people, that you may not be partakers with her in her sins, and that you may not partake of her plagues:

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face earth and heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them.
