Book 61 2 Peter
61:001:001 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
61:001:002 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
61:001:003 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
61:001:004 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
61:001:005 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
61:001:006 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
61:001:007 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
61:001:008 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
61:001:009 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
61:001:010 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
61:001:011 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
61:001:012 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
61:001:013 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
61:001:014 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
61:001:015 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
61:001:016 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
61:001:017 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
61:001:018 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
61:001:019 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
61:001:020 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
61:001:021 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
61:002:001 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
61:002:002 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
61:002:003 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
61:002:004 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
61:002:005 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
61:002:006 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
61:002:007 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
61:002:008 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
61:002:009 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
61:002:010 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
61:002:011 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
61:002:012 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
61:002:013 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
61:002:014 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
61:002:015 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
61:002:016 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
61:002:017 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
61:002:018 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
61:002:019 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
61:002:020 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
61:002:021 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
61:002:022 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
61:003:001 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
61:003:002 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
61:003:003 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
61:003:004 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
61:003:005 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
61:003:006 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
61:003:007 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
61:003:008 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
61:003:009 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
61:003:010 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
61:003:011 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
61:003:012 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
61:003:013 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
61:003:014 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
61:003:015 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
61:003:016 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
61:003:017 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
61:003:018 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Book 62 1 John
62:001:001 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
62:001:002 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
62:001:003 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
62:001:004 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
62:001:005 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
62:001:006 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
62:001:007 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
62:001:008 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
62:001:009 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
62:001:010 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
62:002:001 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
62:002:002 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
62:002:003 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
62:002:004 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
62:002:005 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
62:002:006 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
62:002:007 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
62:002:008 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
62:002:009 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
62:002:010 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
62:002:011 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
62:002:012 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
62:002:013 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
62:002:014 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
62:002:015 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
62:002:016 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
62:002:017 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
62:002:018 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
62:002:019 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
62:002:020 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
62:002:021 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
62:002:022 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
62:002:023 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
62:002:024 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
62:002:025 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
62:002:026 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
62:002:027 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
62:002:028 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
62:002:029 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
62:003:001 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
62:003:002 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
62:003:003 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
62:003:004 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
62:003:005 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
62:003:006 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
62:003:007 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
62:003:008 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
62:003:009 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
62:003:010 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
62:003:011 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
62:003:012 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
62:003:013 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
62:003:014 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
62:003:015 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
62:003:016 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
62:003:017 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
62:003:018 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
62:003:019 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
62:003:020 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
62:003:021 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
62:003:022 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
62:003:023 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
62:003:024 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
62:004:001 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
62:004:002 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
62:004:003 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
62:004:004 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
62:004:005 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
62:004:006 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
62:004:007 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
62:004:008 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
62:004:009 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
62:004:010 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
62:004:011 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
62:004:012 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
62:004:013 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
62:004:014 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
62:004:015 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
62:004:016 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
62:004:017 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
62:004:018 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
62:004:019 We love him, because he first loved us.
62:004:020 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
62:004:021 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
62:005:001 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
62:005:002 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
62:005:003 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
62:005:004 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
62:005:005 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
62:005:006 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
62:005:007 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
62:005:008 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
62:005:009 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
62:005:010 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
62:005:011 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
62:005:012 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
62:005:013 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
62:005:014 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
62:005:015 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
62:005:016 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
62:005:017 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
62:005:018 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
62:005:019 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
62:005:020 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
62:005:021 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Book 63 2 John
63:001:001 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
63:001:002 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
63:001:003 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
63:001:004 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
63:001:005 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
63:001:006 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
63:001:007 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
63:001:008 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
63:001:009 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
63:001:010 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
63:001:011 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
63:001:012 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
63:001:013 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
Book 64 3 John
64:001:001 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
64:001:002 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
64:001:003 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
64:001:004 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
64:001:005 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
64:001:006 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
64:001:007 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
64:001:008 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
64:001:009 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
64:001:010 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
64:001:011 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
64:001:012 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
64:001:013 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
64:001:014 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
Book 65 Jude
65:001:001 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
65:001:002 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
65:001:003 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
65:001:004 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
65:001:005 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
65:001:006 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
65:001:007 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
65:001:008 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
65:001:009 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
65:001:010 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
65:001:011 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
65:001:012 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
65:001:013 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
65:001:014 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
65:001:015 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
65:001:016 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
65:001:017 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
65:001:018 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
65:001:019 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
65:001:020 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
65:001:021 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
65:001:022 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
65:001:023 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
65:001:024 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
65:001:025 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Book 66 Revelation
66:001:001 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
66:001:002 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
66:001:003 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
66:001:004 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
66:001:005 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
66:001:006 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
66:001:007 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
66:001:008 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
66:001:009 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
66:001:010 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
66:001:011 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
66:001:012 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
66:001:013 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
66:001:014 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
66:001:015 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
66:001:016 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
66:001:017 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
66:001:018 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
66:001:019 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
66:001:020 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
66:002:001 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
66:002:002 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
66:002:003 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
66:002:004 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
66:002:005 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
66:002:006 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
66:002:007 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
66:002:008 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
66:002:009 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
66:002:010 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
66:002:011 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
66:002:012 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
66:002:013 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
66:002:014 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
66:002:015 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
66:002:016 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
66:002:017 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
66:002:018 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
66:002:019 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
66:002:020 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
66:002:021 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
66:002:022 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
66:002:023 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
66:002:024 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
66:002:025 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
66:002:026 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
66:002:027 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.
66:002:028 And I will give him the morning star.
66:002:029 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
66:003:001 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
66:003:002 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
66:003:003 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
66:003:004 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
66:003:005 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
66:003:006 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
66:003:007 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
66:003:008 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
66:003:009 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
66:003:010 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
66:003:011 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
66:003:012 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
66:003:013 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
66:003:014 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
66:003:015 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
66:003:016 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
66:003:017 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
66:003:018 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
66:003:019 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
66:003:020 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
66:003:021 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
66:003:022 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
66:004:001 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
66:004:002 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
66:004:003 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
66:004:004 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
66:004:005 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
66:004:006 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
66:004:007 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
66:004:008 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
66:004:009 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
66:004:010 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
66:004:011 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
66:005:001 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
66:005:002 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
66:005:003 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
66:005:004 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
66:005:005 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
66:005:006 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
66:005:007 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
66:005:008 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
66:005:009 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
66:005:010 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
66:005:011 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
66:005:012 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
66:005:013 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
66:005:014 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
66:006:001 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
66:006:002 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
66:006:003 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
66:006:004 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
66:006:005 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
66:006:006 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
66:006:007 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
66:006:008 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
66:006:009 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
66:006:010 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
66:006:011 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
66:006:012 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
66:006:013 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
66:006:014 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
66:006:015 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
66:006:016 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
66:006:017 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
66:007:001 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
66:007:002 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
66:007:003 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
66:007:004 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
66:007:005 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
66:007:006 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
66:007:007 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
66:007:008 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
66:007:009 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
66:007:010 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
66:007:011 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
66:007:012 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
66:007:013 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
66:007:014 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
66:007:015 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
66:007:016 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
66:007:017 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
66:008:001 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
66:008:002 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
66:008:003 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
66:008:004 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
66:008:005 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
66:008:006 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
66:008:007 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
66:008:008 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
66:008:009 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
66:008:010 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
66:008:011 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
66:008:012 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
66:008:013 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
66:009:001 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
66:009:002 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
66:009:003 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
66:009:004 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
66:009:005 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
66:009:006 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
66:009:007 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
66:009:008 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
66:009:009 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
66:009:010 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
66:009:011 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
66:009:012 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
66:009:013 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
66:009:014 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
66:009:015 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
66:009:016 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
66:009:017 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
66:009:018 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
66:009:019 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
66:009:020 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
66:009:021 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
66:010:001 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
66:010:002 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
66:010:003 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
66:010:004 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
66:010:005 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
66:010:006 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
66:010:007 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
66:010:008 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
66:010:009 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
66:010:010 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
66:010:011 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
66:011:001 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
66:011:002 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
66:011:003 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
66:011:004 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
66:011:005 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
66:011:006 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
66:011:007 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
66:011:008 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
66:011:009 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
66:011:010 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
66:011:011 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
66:011:012 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
66:011:013 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
66:011:014 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
66:011:015 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
66:011:016 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
66:011:017 Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
66:011:018 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
66:011:019 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
