4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “aSee to it that no one misleads you.

5 “For amany will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the 1Christ,’ and will mislead many.

6 “You will be hearing of awars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

7 “For anation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be bfamines and earthquakes.

8 “aBut all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

9 “aThen they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and byou will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10 “At that time many will 1afall away and will 2betray one another and hate one another.

11 “Many afalse prophets will arise and will mislead many.

12 “Because lawlessness is increased, 1most people’s love will grow cold.

13 “aBut the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

14 “This agospel of the kingdom bshall be preached in the whole 1cworld as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
