¹⁶ I heard, and I trembled within me, at the voice, my lips, quivered, decay, entered, my bones, and, in my limbs, I trembled,––though I am to find rest, in the day of distress, when their invader, cometh up against the people. ¹⁷ Though, the fig–tree, should not blossom, and there be no sprouting in the vines, the yield of the olive, should have deceived, and, the fields, not have brought forth food,––the flock, have been consumed out of the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls, ¹⁸ Yet, I, in Yahweh, will rejoice,––I will exult in the God of my salvation.

¹⁴ And this glad message of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the inhabited earth, for a witness unto all the nations,––and, then, will have come, the end.

⁵⁴ How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that, thus, it must needs come to pass?

⁷ And, when ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars, be not alarmed––it must needs come to pass, but, not yet, is, the end. ⁸ For there will arise––Nation against nation, and, kingdom against kingdom,––there will be earthquakes in places, there will be famines:––

⁹ But, whensoever ye shall hear of wars and revolutions, be not terrified,––for these things, must needs, come to pass first, but, not immediately, is the end.

¹⁹ By your endurance, shall ye gain your lives for a possession.

³⁷ For I say unto you––This that is written, must needs be completed in me,––And, with lawless ones, was he reckoned; for, even that which concerneth me, hath, completion.

²⁷ Peace, I leave with you, My own peace, give, I, unto you,––Not as, the world, giveth, give, I, unto you:––Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

²⁴ saying––Be not afraid, Paul! for, before Caesar, must thou needs stand. And lo! God hath granted to thee as a favour, all them who are sailing with thee. ²⁵ Wherefore, be of good courage, Sirs; for I believe in God––that, so, it shall be, according as it hath been told me. ²⁶ Upon a certain island, however, must we needs be wrecked.

² That ye be not quickly tossed from your mind, nor be put in alarm––either by spirit, or by discourse, or by letter as by us, as that the day of the Lord, hath set in:

¹⁴ Nevertheless, even if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy [are ye]! Their fear, however, do not fear, neither be troubled; ¹⁵ But, the Lord Christ, hallow ye in your hearts, ready always for a defence, unto every one that is asking you a reason concerning, the hope within you,––nevertheless, with meekness and reverence:
