ESVEnglish Standard Version

The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. And I will give him the morning star.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’—just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give that one the morning star.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The one who conquers and who keeps my works to the end: I will give him authority over the nations—

and he will rule them with an iron scepter;

he will shatter them like pottery—

just as I have received this from my Father. I will also give him the morning star.

NLTNew Living Translation

To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end,

To them I will give authority over all the nations.

They will rule the nations with an iron rod

and smash them like clay pots.

They will have the same authority I received from my Father, and I will also give them the morning star!

KJV 1900King James Version

And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.
