⁴And Jesus answering said to them, ‘Take heed that no one may lead you astray, ⁵for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray, ⁶and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all these to come to pass, but the end is not yet.

⁷‘For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places; ⁸and all these are the beginning of sorrows; ⁹then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name; ¹⁰and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.

¹¹‘And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray; ¹²and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many shall become cold; ¹³but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved; ¹⁴and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive.
