___James chapter 1
 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are scattered around, greetings.
 2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into various temptations,
 3 Knowing this, that the testing of your faith works patience.
 4 But let patience have its perfect work, so you'll be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives to all men liberally, and won't find fault, and it shall be given to him.
 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.  For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
 7 For let that man not think that he'll receive anything from the Lord.
 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted,
 10 But the rich, in that he is made low, because as the flower of the grass he'll pass away.
 11 For the sun has no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and the flower of it falls, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes, so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
 12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation, for after he's been tested, he'll receive the crown of life, that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man,
 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
 15 Then when lust has conceived, it produces sin, and sin, when it's finished, produces death.
 16 Do not err, my beloved brothers.
 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, nor shadow of turning.
 18 He chose to father us with the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
 19 So, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
 20 For the anger of man doesn't accomplish the righteousness of God.
 21 So lay apart all filthiness and the unnecessary thing, naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man seeing his natural face in a mirror,
 24 For he sees himself, and goes his way, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
 25 But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
 26 If any man among you seems to be religious, and doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is for nothing.
 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

___James chapter 2
 1 My brothers, don't have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
 2 For if a man with a gold ring comes to your assembly in fancy clothes, and a poor man in dirty clothes comes in also,
 3 And you have respect to him that wears the fancy clothes, and say to him, "Sit here in a good place," and say to the poor, "Stand there, or sit here under my footstool,"
 4 Aren't you then partial in yourselves, and have become judges with evil thoughts?
 5 Listen, my beloved brothers, hasn't God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?
 6 But you have despised the poor.  Don't rich men oppress you, and bring you before the judgment seats?
 7 Don't they blaspheme that worthy name by which you are called?
 8 If you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor like yourself," you do well,
 9 But if you have respect of persons, you commit sin, and are convinced by the law as sinners.
 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
 11 For he that said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not kill."  Now if you don't commit adultery, yet if you kill, you've become a breaker of the law.
 12 Speak in such a way, and do, as those who'll be judged by the law of liberty.
 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that has shown no mercy, and mercy rejoices against judgment.
 14 What does it profit, my brothers, though a man says he has faith, and doesn't have works?  Can faith save him?
 15 If a brother or sister needs clothes, and lacks daily food,
 16 And one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you don't give them the things that are needed for the body, what good is that?
 17 Even so faith, if it doesn't have works, is dead, being alone.
 18 Yes, a man could say, "You have faith, and I have works, show me your faith without your works, and I'll show you my faith by my works."
 19 You believe that there is one God, you do well, the devils also believe, and tremble.
 20 But don't you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
 21 Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son on the altar?
 22 Do you see how faith worked with his deeds, and by works was faith made perfect?
 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness, and he was called the friend of God."
 24 You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
 25 Likewise also wasn't Rahab the prostitute justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

___James chapter 3
 1 My brothers, don't be many masters, knowing that we'll receive the greater condemnation.
 2 For in many things we offend all.  If any man doesn't offend in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
 3 See, we put bits in the horses' mouths, so they'll obey us, and we turn around their whole body.
 4 Look at also the ships, which though they're so large, and are driven by fierce winds, yet they're turned around by a very small helm, wherever the captain wants.
 5 Even so, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things.  See how great a matter a little fire kindles!
 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of sin, so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire by hell.
 7 For every kind of animals, and of birds, and of snakes, and of things in the sea, gets tamed, and has been tamed by mankind,
 8 But no man can tame the tongue, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
 9 With it we bless God, the Father, and with it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God.
 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing.  My brothers, these things ought not to be.
 11 Does a fountain send out at the same place sweet water and bitter?
 12 Can the fig tree, my brothers, produce olive berries?  Or a vine, figs?  So no fountain can yield both salt water and fresh.
 13 Who is a wise man and possessing knowledge among you?  Let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
 14 But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, don't glory, and don't lie against the truth.
 15 This wisdom doesn't descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
 18 And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace by those who make peace.

___James chapter 4
 1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from?  Don't they come from your lusts that war in your members?
 2 You lust, and don't have, you kill, and desire to have, and can't obtain, you fight and war, yet you don't have, because you don't ask.
 3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask wrongly, so you can consume it on your lusts.
 4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God?  Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world is an enemy of God.
 5 Do you think that the scripture says for nothing, "The spirit that lives in us lusts to envy?"
 6 But he gives more grace.  So he says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he'll run away from you.
 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded.
 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and cry, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he'll lift you up.
 11 Don't speak evil about each other, brothers.  He that speaks evil about his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil about the law, and judges the law, but if you judge the law, you're not a doer of the law, but a judge.
 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy, who are you that judges someone else?
 13 Go on now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we'll go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and make a profit,"
 14 Actually, you don't know what will happen tomorrow.  For what is your life?  It is a puff of steam, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
 15 For you ought to say, "Lord willing, we'll live, and do this, or that."
 16 But now you rejoice in your boastings, all such rejoicing is evil.
 17 Therefore to him that knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin.

___James chapter 5
 1 Go on now, you rich men, cry and howl for your miseries that shall come on you.
 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your clothes are moth eaten.
 3 Your gold and silver are rusted, and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire.  You've heaped treasure together for the last days.
 4 See, the wages of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which you've kept back by fraud, shouts, and the shouts of those who've reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
 5 You've lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton, you've nourished your hearts, like in a day of slaughter.
 6 You've condemned and killed the just, and he doesn't resist you.
 7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.  See, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain.
 8 You also be patient.  Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is getting near.
 9 Don't grudge against each other, brothers, so you won't be condemned, see, the judge stands at the door.
 10 Take, my brothers, the prophets, who've spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
 11 See, we count them happy that endure.  You've heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
 12 But above all things, my brothers, don't swear, not by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath, but let your yes be yes, and your no, no, so you don't fall into condemnation.
 13 Is anyone among you afflicted?  Let him pray.  Is anyone merry?  Let him sing psalms.
 14 Is any sick among you?  Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord,
 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he has committed sins, he'll be forgiven.
 16 Confess your faults to each other, and pray for each other, so you'll be healed.  The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man is quite effective.
 17 Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it wouldn't rain, and it didn't rain on the earth for three years and six months.
 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
 19 Brothers, if any of you strays from the truth, and someone converts him,
 20 Let him know, that he that converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

___1 Peter chapter 1
 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
 2 Elect according to the knowledge ahead of time by God the Father, through making holy by the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.
 3 Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy has fathered us again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that doesn't fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
 6 In which you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if necessary, you're in heaviness through many temptations,
 7 So that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, will be found to praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ,
 8 Whom having not seen, you love, in whom, though now you don't see him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory,
 9 Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
 10 About which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied about the grace that would come to you,
 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them meant, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that would follow.
 12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they ministered the things that are now reported to you by those who've preached the gospel to you, with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven, which things the angels desire to look into.
 13 So, put on the clothes of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
 14 As obedient children, not building yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance,
 15 But like he that has called you is holy, so you be holy in every aspect of living,
 16 Because it is written, "You be holy, for I am holy."
 17 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man's work, pass the time of your temporary stay here in fear,
 18 Since you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, from your wrong lifestyle, received by tradition from your fathers,
 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot,
 20 Who truly was preordained before the foundation of the world, but was made clearly visible in these last times for you,
 21 Who by him, believe in God, who raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope would be in God.
 22 Seeing you've purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unpretended love of the brothers, make sure you love each other with a pure heart fervently,
 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, that lives and remains forever.
 24 For all flesh is like grass, and all the glory of man like the flower of grass.  The grass withers, and the flower of it falls away,
 25 But the word of the Lord endures forever.  And this is the word that by the gospel is preached to you.

___1 Peter chapter 2
 1 So, laying aside all hatred, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
 2 Like newborn babies, desire the sincere milk of the word, so you'll grow by it,
 3 If you've tasted that the Lord is gracious.
 4 To whom coming, like to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, and precious,
 5 You also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
 6 Also it is contained in the scripture, "See, I lay in Zion a main cornerstone, elect, precious, and he that believes on him won't be put to shame."
 7 To you therefore who believe, he is precious, but to those who are disobedient, the stone that the builders rejected, has become the cornerstone,
 8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to those who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
 9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, so that you will show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness, into his marvelous light,
 10 Who previously were not a people, but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
 11 Dearly beloved, I ask you please, as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, that war against the soul,
 12 Having your lifestyle honest among the Gentiles, so that, while they speak against you as evildoers, they will by your good works, that they'll see, glorify God in the day of visitation.
 13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether it's to the king, as supreme,
 14 Or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of those who do well.
 15 For this is the will of God, that with well doing you'll put to silence the ignorance of foolish men,
 16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of hatred, but as the servants of God.
 17 Honor all men.  Love the brotherhood.  Fear God.  Honor the king.
 18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the difficult.
 19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endures grief, suffering wrongfully.
 20 For what glory is it, if when you're slapped for your faults, you take it patiently?  But if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
 21 For even to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps,
 22 Who did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,
 23 Who, when he was reviled, didn't revile back, when he suffered, he didn't threaten, but committed himself to him that judges righteously,
 24 Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, so that we, being dead to sins, would live to righteousness, by whose stripes you were healed.
 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

___1 Peter chapter 3
 1 Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, so that, if any doesn't obey the word, they also will without the word be won by the lifestyle of the wives,
 2 While they see your pure living coupled with fear.
 3 Let your adorning not be the outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of clothes,
 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the sight of God.
 5 For after this manner in the old time, the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands,
 6 Like Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are, as long as you do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
 7 Likewise, you husbands, live with them according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, so your prayers won't be hindered.
 8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion on each other, love as brothers, be pitiful, be courteous,
 9 Not returning evil for evil, or railing for railing, but to the contrary blessing, knowing that you are called to that, so that you'll inherit a blessing.
 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no deceit,
 11 Let him hate evil, and do good, let him seek peace, and pursue it.
 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
 13 And who is he that will harm you, if you're followers of what is good?
 14 But if you suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are you, and don't be afraid of their terror, nor be troubled,
 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give an answer to every man that asks you for a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear,
 16 Having a good conscience, so that, although they speak evil about you, as about evildoers, they will be ashamed that falsely accuse your good lifestyle in Christ.
 17 For it is better, if it's the will of God, that you suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
 18 For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, so that he would bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit,
 19 By which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison,
 20 Who once were disobedient, when previously the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
 21 The like figure to which baptism also now saves us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
 22 Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

___1 Peter chapter 4
 1 Since Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind, for he that has suffered in the flesh has stopped sinning,
 2 So that he no longer would live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
 3 For what's in the past of our lives should be enough in doing the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries,
 4 In which they think it strange that you don't run with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil about you,
 5 Who'll give account to him that is ready to judge the alive and the dead.
 6 That's why the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, so that they'd be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
 7 But the end of all things is near, therefore be sober, and stay awake for prayer.
 8 And above all things have fervent love among yourselves, for love shall cover the multitude of sins.
 9 Use hospitality toward each other without grudging.
 10 As every man has received the gift, minister the same to each other, as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God.
 11 If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God, if any man ministers, let him do it as of the ability that God gives, so that God in all things will be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and always.  Amen.
 12 Beloved, don't think it strange concerning the fiery trial that is to test you, as though some strange thing happened to you,
 13 But rejoice, since you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, so that, when his glory shall be revealed, you'll be glad also with great joy.
 14 If you're reproached for the name of Christ, happy are you, for the spirit of glory and of God rests on you.  On their part he is spoken evil about, but on your part he is glorified.
 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
 16 Yet if any man suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this behalf.
 17 For the time has come that judgment must begin at the house of God, and if it first begins at us, what shall be the end of those who don't obey the gospel of God?
 18 And if the righteous scarcely are saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
 19 So let those who suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.

___1 Peter chapter 5
 1 I exhort the elders who are among you.  I'm also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed,
 2 Feed the flock of God that is among you, taking the oversight of it, not because you must, but willingly, not for filthy bribes, but with a ready mind,
 3 Nor as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you'll receive a crown of glory that doesn't fade away.
 5 Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves to the elder.  Yes, all of you be subject to each other, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so he'll lift you up in due time,
 7 Casting all your care on him, 'cause he cares for you.
 8 Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, like a roaring lion, walks around, seeking whom he can devour,
 9 Whom resist, steady in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brothers that are in the world.
 10 But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you've suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
 11 To him be glory and dominion forever and always.  Amen.
 12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I've written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
 13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, greets you, and so does Marcus, my son.
 14 Greet each other with a kiss of love.  Peace be with you all who are in Christ Jesus.  Amen.

___2 Peter chapter 1
 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ,
 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
 3 According as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue,
 4 By which are given to us very great and precious promises, so that by these you'll be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge,
 6 And to knowledge temperance, and to temperance patience, and to patience godliness,
 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
 8 For if these things are in you, and are plentiful, they'll keep you from being barren or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 9 But he that lacks these things is blind, and can't see afar off, and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
 10 So rather, brothers, give diligence to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things, you'll never fall,
 11 That's how an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
 12 So, I won't be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
 13 Yes, I think it's appropriate, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by reminding you,
 14 Knowing that soon I must put off this body I have, as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me.
 15 Also I will try to arrange that you'll be able to have these things always in remembrance, after my death.
 16 For we haven't followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
 17 For he received from God the Father honor 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."
 18 And we heard this voice that came from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mountain.
 19 We also have a more sure word of prophecy, to which you do well to pay attention to, like to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the day star arises in your hearts,
 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
 21 For the prophecy didn't come in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

___2 Peter chapter 2
 1 But there were false prophets also among the people, just as there'll be false teachers among you, who secretly shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
 2 And many shall follow their wicked ways, because of whom the way of truth shall be spoken evil about.
 3 And through covetousness, they'll make merchandise of you with pretended words, whose judgment now after a long time doesn't wait, and their damnation doesn't sleep.
 4 For if God didn't spare the angels that sinned, but threw them down to hell, and delivered them to chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment,
 5 And didn't spare the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly,
 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly,
 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked,
 8 (For that righteous man living among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds,)
 9 The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust until the day of judgment to be punished,
 10 But mainly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government.  They're presumptuous, self willed, they aren't afraid to speak evil of dignities.
 11 But angels, who are greater in power and might, don't bring railing accusation against them before the Lord.
 12 But these, like natural brute animals, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil about the things that they don't understand, and shall completely perish in their own corruption,
 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, like those who that count it pleasure to riot in the day time.  They are spots and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you,
 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that can't stop sinning, corrupting unstable souls, a heart they have exercised with covetous practices, cursed children,
 15 Who've forsaken the right way, and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,
 16 But was rebuked for his sin, the dumb ass speaking with man's voice spoke against the insanity of the prophet.
 17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest, to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever.
 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those who were completely escaped from those who live in error.
 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption, for by whom a man is overcome, he is brought into bondage.
 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the end is worse for them than the beginning.
 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandments delivered to them.
 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, "The dog has turned to his own vomit again, and the pig that was washed to her wallowing in the mire."

___2 Peter chapter 3
 1 This second letter, beloved, I now write to you, in both of which I stir up your pure minds by reminding you,
 2 So that you'll be thinking about the words that were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
 3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking according to their own lusts,
 4 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."
 5 For this they are willingly 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,
 6 By which, the world that then was, being submerged in water, was destroyed,
 7 But the heavens and the earth that are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved for fire until the day of judgment and hell for ungodly men.
 8 But, beloved, don't be ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.
 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness, but is patient toward us, not willing for anyone to perish, but that all would come to repentance.
 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night, in 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 in it shall be burned up.
 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what kind of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
 12 Looking for and hurrying toward the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness lives.
 14 So, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent so you'll be found by him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
 15 And consider that the patience of our Lord is salvation, like our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given to him has written to you,
 16 As also in all his letters, speaking in them about these things, in which are some things difficult to understand, which those who are unlearned and unstable tear, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
 17 You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware so you won't also be led away with the error of the wicked, and fall from your own steadiness.
 18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  To him be glory now and forever.  Amen.

___1 John chapter 1
 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life,
 2 (For the life was made clear, and we've seen it, and testify, and show you that eternal life, that was with the Father, and was made clear to us.)
 3 That which we've seen and heard we tell you, so that you also will have fellowship with us, and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
 4 And these things we write to you, so your joy will be full.
 5 This then is the message that we've heard from him, and tell you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and don't do the truth,
 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
 10 If we say that we haven't sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

___1 John chapter 2
 1 My little children, these things I write to you, so you won't sin.  And if any man sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
 2 And he is the payment for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
 3 And by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
 4 He that says, "I know him," and doesn't keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
 5 But whoever keeps his word, in him truly is the love of God perfected.  By this we know that we are in him.
 6 He that says he lives in him ought to walk, like He walked.
 7 Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment that you've had from the beginning.  The old commandment is the word that you've heard from the beginning.
 8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness has past, and the true light now shines.
 9 He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.
 10 He that loves his brother lives in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
 11 But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and doesn't know where he's going, because that darkness has blinded him.
 12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.
 13 I write to you, fathers, because you've known him that is from the beginning.  I write to you, young men, because you've overcome the wicked one.  I write to you, little children, because you've known the Father.
 14 I've written to you, fathers, because you've known him that is from the beginning.  I've written to you, young men, because you're strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you've overcome the wicked one.
 15 Don't love the world, nor the things that are in the world.  If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
 16 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.
 17 And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he that does the will of God lives forever.
 18 Little children, it is the last time, and as you've heard that antichrist shall come, even now there are many antichrists, by which we know that it is the last time.
 19 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, so that they'd be made clear that they were not all of us.
 20 But you have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things.
 21 I haven't written to you because you don't know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
 22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ?  He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son.
 23 Whoever denies the Son, the same doesn't have the Father, but he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
 24 Let that therefore live in you, that you've heard from the beginning.  If that which you've heard from the beginning remains in you, you'll also continue in the Son, and in the Father.
 25 And this is the promise that he has promised us, eternal life.
 26 These things I've written to you concerning those who try to seduce you.
 27 But the anointing that you've received from him lives in you, and you don't need any man to teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you about all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and just as it has taught you, you'll live in him.
 28 And now, little children, live in him, so that, when he appears, we'll have confidence, and not be ashamed in his presence when he comes.
 29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone that does righteousness is born of him.

___1 John chapter 3 
 1 Look at what kind of love the Father has loved us with, that we should be called the sons of God, therefore the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.
 2 Beloved, now we are the sons of God, and it doesn't yet appear what we'll be, but we know that when he appears, we'll be like him, for we'll see him as he is.
 3 And every man that has this hope in himself purifies himself, just as he is pure.
 4 Whoever commits sin also violates the law, for sin is the violation of the law.
 5 And you know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and in him there's no sin.
 6 Whoever lives in him doesn't sin, whoever sins hasn't seen him, nor known him.
 7 Little children, let no man deceive you, he that does righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous.
 8 He that commits sin is of the devil, for the devil sinned from the beginning.  For this purpose the Son of God was revealed, so that he'd destroy the works of the devil.
 9 Whoever is born of God doesn't commit sin, for his seed remains in him, and he can't sin, because he is born of God.
 10 In this the children of God are made clear, and the children of the devil, whoever doesn't do righteousness is not of God, nor he that doesn't love his brother.
 11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love each other.
 12 Not like Cain, who was of that wicked one, and murdered his brother.  And why did he murder him?  Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
 13 Don't be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
 14 We know that we've passed from death to life, because we love the brothers.  He that doesn't love his brother remains in death.
 15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life living in him.
 16 By this we perceive the love of God, because he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
 17 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and won't show compassion on him, how does the love of God live in him?
 18 My little children, let's not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
 19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
 20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
 21 Beloved, if our heart doesn't condemn us, then we have confidence toward God.
 22 And whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
 23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love each other, as he gave us commandment.
 24 And he that keeps his commandments lives in him, and he in him.  And by this we know that he lives in us, by the Spirit that he has given us.

___1 John chapter 4
 1 Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
 2 By this you know the Spirit of God, every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
 3 And every spirit that doesn't confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is that spirit of antichrist, about which you've heard that it would come, and even now already it's in the world.
 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
 5 They are of the world, therefore they speak about the world, and the world listens to them.
 6 We are of God.  He that knows God listens to us, he that is not of God doesn't listen to us.  By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
 7 Beloved, let us love each other, for love is of God, and everyone that loves is born of God, and knows God.
 8 He that doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
 9 In this the love of God was made clear toward us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, so that we would live through him.
 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the payment for our sins.
 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love each other.
 12 No man has seen God at any time.  If we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.
 13 By this we know that we live in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him, and he in God.
 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us.  God is love, and he that lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
 17 In this our love is made perfect, so that we'll have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world.
 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love throws out fear, because fear has torment.  He that's in fear hasn't been made perfect in love.
 19 We love him, because he first loved us.
 20 If a man says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar, for he that doesn't love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he hasn't seen?
 21 And this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.

___1 John chapter 5
 1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone that loves him that fathered loves him also who was fathered by him.
 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments, and his commandments don't cause grief.
 4 For whoever is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcomes the world:  our faith.
 5 Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
 6 He's the one that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by water and blood.  And it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is truth.
 7 For there are three that testify in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one.
 8 And there are three that testify in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and these three agree in one.
 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater, for this is the witness of God that he has testified about his Son.
 10 He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself, he that doesn't believe God has made him a liar, because he doesn't believe the record that God gave about his Son.
 11 And this is the record, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
 12 He that has the Son has life, and he that doesn't have the Son of God doesn't have life.
 13 These things I've written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, so that you'll know that you have eternal life, and so that you'll believe on the name of the Son of God.
 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us,
 15 And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have what we requested from him.
 16 If any man sees his brother sin a sin that's not to death, he shall ask, and he'll give him life for those who don't sin to death.  There is a sin to death, I don't say that he should pray for it.
 17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not to death.
 18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn't sin, but he that's begotten by God keeps himself, and that wicked one doesn't touch him.
 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness.
 20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, so that we'll know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ.  This is the true God, and eternal life.
 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.  Amen.

___2 John
 1 The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but also all of those who've known the truth.
 2 For the truth's sake, that lives in us, and shall be with us forever.
 3 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.
 4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of your children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
 5 And now I ask you please, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love each other.
 6 And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments.  This is the commandment, that, as you've heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
 7 For many deceivers have entered into the world, who don't confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh.  This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
 8 Watch yourselves, so that we don't lose the things that we have earned, but that we receive a full reward.
 9 Whoever transgresses, and doesn't remain in the doctrine of Christ, doesn't have  God.  He that lives in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.
 10 If anyone comes to you, and doesn't bring this doctrine, don't receive him into your house, nor wish him God speed,
 11 For he that wishes him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
 12 Having many things to write to you, I don't want to write with paper and ink, but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, so that our joy will be full.
 13 The children of your elect sister greet you.  Amen.

___3 John
 1 The elder to the well beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health, like your soul prospers.
 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brothers came and testified about the truth that is in you, as you walk in the truth.
 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
 5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do to the brothers, and to strangers,
 6 Who have testified about your love before the church, whom if you help along on their journey in a godly way, you'll do well,
 7 Because for his name's sake they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
 8 We therefore ought to receive such, so that we would be fellow helpers to the truth.
 9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have a place of importance among them, wouldn't receive us.
 10 So if I come, I'll remember his deeds that he does, prating against us with malicious words, and not content with that, nor does he himself receive the brothers, and forbids those who would, and throws them out of the church.
 11 Beloved, don't follow that which is evil, but that which is good.  He that does good is of God, but he that does evil hasn't seen God.
 12 Demetrius has a good report from all men, and of the truth itself, yes, and we also testify, and you know that our record is true.
 13 I had many things to write, but I don't want to write to you with ink and pen,
 14 But I trust I shall shortly see you, and we'll speak face to face.  Peace be to you.  Our friends greet you.  Greet the friends by name.

___Jude
 1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called,
 2 Mercy to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write to you about the common salvation, it was necessary for me to write to you, and exhort you to earnestly argue for the faith that was once delivered to the saints.
 4 For there are certain men crept in secretly, who of old were ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lust, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
 5 I will therefore remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn't believe.
 6 And the angels who didn't keep their first condition, but left their own dwelling place, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness until the judgment of the great day.
 7 Like Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them similarly, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set out as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke you."
 10 But these speak evil about the things that they don't know, but what they know naturally, as brute animals, in those things they corrupt themselves.
 11 Woe to them!  For they've gone the way of Cain, and have run greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
 12 These are spots in your feasts of love, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear, they are clouds without water, carried around by winds, trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up roots and all,
 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame, wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these, saying, "See, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints,
 15 To execute judgment on all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds that they've ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches that ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts, and their mouth speaks great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
 17 But, beloved, remember the words that were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
 18 How they told you there would be mockers in the last time, who'd walk after their own ungodly lusts.
 19 These are those who separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit.
 20 But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ until eternal life.
 22 And on some have compassion, making a difference,
 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
 24 Now to him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with great joy,
 25 To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and always.  Amen.

___Revelation chapter 1
 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave him, to show to his servants things that must soon occur, and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John,
 2 Who testified of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
 3 Blessed is he that reads, and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is near.
 4 John, to the seven churches that are in Asia, Grace be to you, and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits that are in front of his throne,
 5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.  To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
 6 And has made us kings and priests to God his Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and always.  Amen.
 7 See, he comes with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and those also who pierced him, and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.  Even so, Amen.
 8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end," says the Lord, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
 9 I John, who am also your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet,
 11 Saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last," and, "What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches that are in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
 12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me.  And having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks.
 13 And among the seven candlesticks someone like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and clothed around chest with a golden girdle.
 14 His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like a flame of fire,
 15 And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace, and his voice like the sound of many waters.
 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars, and a sharp two edged sword went out of his mouth, and his face was like the sun shines in its strength.
 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead.  And he laid his right hand on me, saying to me, "Don't be afraid, I'm the first and the last,
 18 I am he that lives, and was dead, and, see, I'm alive forever, amen, and have the keys of hell and of death.
 19 Write the things that you've seen, and the things that are, and the things that shall come later,
 20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks.  The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks that you saw are the seven churches."

___Revelation chapter 2
 1 "To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, these things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden candlesticks,
 2 I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you can't stand those who are evil, and you've tested those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars,
 3 And have carried, and have had patience, and for my name's sake have labored, and haven't fainted.
 4 However, I have somewhat against you, because you've left your first love.
 5 Remember therefore from where you've fallen, and repent, and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly, and will remove your candlestick out of its place, unless you repent.
 6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
 7 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches, to him that overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, that is in the middle of the paradise of God.
 8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write, these things says the first and the last, who was dead, and is alive,
 9 I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of those who say they're Jews, and aren't, but are the synagogue of Satan.
 10 Don't fear any of the things that you'll suffer, see, the devil shall throw some of you into prison, so that you'll be tested, and you'll have tribulation ten days, be faithful until death, and I'll give you a crown of life.
 11 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.  He that overcomes won't be hurt by the second death.
 12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, these things says he that has the sharp sword with two edges,
 13 I know your works, and where you live, where Satan's seat is, and you hold tightly my name, and haven't denied my faith, even in the days in which Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan lives.
 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.
 15 So also do you have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, a thing I hate.
 16 Repent, or else I'll come to you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
 17 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches, to him that overcomes I'll give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, that no man knows except he that receives it.
 18 And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, these things says the Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass,
 19 I know your works, and love, and service, and faith, and your patience, and your works, the last more than the first.
 20 Nevertheless, I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
 21 And I gave her time to repent of her fornication, and she didn't repent.
 22 See, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.
 23 And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he who searches the reins and hearts, and I will give to each of you according to your works.
 24 But to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as don't have this doctrine, and who haven't known what they call the depths of Satan, I will put on you no other burden.
 25 But what you have already hold tightly until I come.
 26 And he that overcomes, and keeps my works to the end, to him I'll give power over the nations,
 27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, like a potter's pots, they'll be broken to pieces, as I received from my Father.
 28 And I will give him the morning star.
 29 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

___Revelation chapter 3
 1 "And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, these things says he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars, I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and are dead.
 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.
 3 Remember therefore how you've received and heard, and hold tightly, and repent.  If therefore you won't watch, I'll come to you like a thief, and you won't know what hour I'll come to you.
 4 You have a few names even in Sardis that haven't defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
 5 He that overcomes, shall be clothed in white clothing, and I won't erase his name from the book of life, but I'll confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
 6 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
 7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, these things says he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens, and no man shuts, and shuts, and no man opens,
 8 I know your works, see, I've set before you an open door, and no man can shut it, for you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and haven't denied my name.
 9 See, I'll make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they're Jews, and are not, but lie, see, I'll make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I've loved you.
 10 Because you've kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation that shall come on all the world, to test those who live on the earth.
 11 See, I come quickly, hold tightly what you have, so that no man takes your crown.
 12 Him that overcomes I'll make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he'll go no more out, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, that comes down out of heaven from my God, and I'll write on him my new name.
 13 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
 14 And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, these things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God,
 15 I know your works, that you're neither cold nor hot, I'd rather you were cold or hot.
 16 So then because you're lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
 17 Because you say, 'I'm rich, and increased with goods, and don't need anything,' and don't know that you're wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked,
 18 I advise you to buy from me gold tested in the fire, so you'll be rich, and white clothing, so you'll be clothed, and so that the shame of your nakedness won't be seen, and anoint your eyes with eye salve, so you'll see.
 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and spank, be zealous therefore, and repent.
 20 See, I stand at the door, and knock, if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I'll come in to him, and will eat with him, and he with me.
 21 To him that overcomes I'll grant to sit with me in my throne, just as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
 22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

___Revelation chapter 4
 1 After this I looked, and, see, a door was opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard was like a trumpet talking with me, which said, "Come up here, and I will show you things that must come later."
 2 And immediately I was in the spirit, and, see, a throne was set in heaven, and someone sat on the throne.
 3 And he that sat was to look at like a jasper and a sardine stone, and there was a rainbow around the throne, in sight like an emerald.
 4 And around the throne were twenty four seats, and on the seats I saw twenty four elders sitting, clothed in white clothes, and they had crowns of gold on their heads.
 5 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.
 6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like crystal, and in the middle of the throne, and around the throne, were four beasts full of eyes in front and in back.
 7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face like a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
 8 And the four beasts each had six wings around him, and they were full of eyes inside, and they don't rest day and night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."
 9 And when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who lives forever and always,
 10 The twenty four elders fell down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that lives forever and always, and threw their crowns before the throne, saying,
 11 "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for you've created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created."

___Revelation chapter 5
 1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
 2 And I saw a strong angel say with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to undo the seals of it?"
 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, nor under the earth, was able to open the book, nor to look at it.
 4 And I cried a lot, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, nor to look at it.
 5 And one of the elders said to me, "Don't cry, see, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to undo the seven seals of it."
 6 And I saw, and, see, in the middle of the throne and of the four beasts, and among the elders, a Lamb stood that had been killed, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.
 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and twenty four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.
 9 And they sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals of it, for you were killed, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and language, and people, and nation,
 10 And have made us to our God kings and priests, and we'll reign on the earth."
 11 And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the beasts and the elders, and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,
 12 Saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was killed to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing."
 13 And every creature that is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, "Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be to him that sits on the throne, and to the Lamb forever and always.
 14 And the four beasts said, "Amen."  And the twenty four elders fell down and worshipped him that lives forever and always.

___Revelation chapter 6
 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, like the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, "Come and see."
 2 And I saw a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering, and to conquer.
 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, "Come and see."
 4 And another horse that was red went out, and power was given to him that sat on it to take peace away from the earth, and that they should kill each other, and there was given to him a large sword.
 5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, "Come and see."  And I saw, and see, a black horse, and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
 6 And I heard a voice among the four beasts say, "A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny, and make sure you don't hurt the oil and the wine."
 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, "Come and see."
 8 And I looked, and there was a pale horse, and the name of him that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.  And power was given to them over one fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the animals of the earth.
 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the word of God, and for the testimony that they held,
 10 And they shouted with a loud voice, saying, "For how long, O Lord, holy and true, won't you judge and avenge our blood against those who live on the earth?"
 11 And white robes were given to each of them, and they were told that they should rest for a little while yet, until their fellow servants also and their brothers, that would be killed like they were, would be fulfilled.
 12 And I saw when he had opened the sixth seal, and, see, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood,
 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, like a fig tree throws its untimely figs, when it's shaken by a strong wind.
 14 And the heaven departed like a scroll when it is rolled together, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the top captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains,
 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,
 17 For the great day of his anger has come, and who shall be able to stand?"

___Revelation chapter 7
 1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that the wind wouldn't blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
 2 And I saw another angel rising from the east, having the seal of the living God, and he shouted with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
 3 Saying, "Don't hurt the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we've sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."
 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, and one hundred forty four thousand were sealed of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
 5 Twelve thousand of the tribe of Judah were sealed.  Twelve thousand of the tribe of Reuben were sealed.  Twelve thousand of the tribe of Gad were sealed.
 6 Twelve thousand of the tribe of Asher were sealed.  Twelve thousand of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed.  Twelve thousand of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed.
 7 Twelve thousand 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.
 8 Twelve thousand of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed.  Twelve thousand of the tribe of Joseph were sealed.  Twelve thousand of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.
 9 After this I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and languages, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands,
 10 And shouted with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
 11 And all the angels stood around the throne, and around the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
 12 Saying, "Amen, Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our God forever and always.  Amen."
 13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, "What are these who are arrayed in white robes?  And where did they come from?"
 14 And I said to him, "Sir, you know."  And he said to me, "These are those who came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that sits on the throne shall live among them.
 16 They shall hunger no more, nor thirst anymore, nor shall the sun shine on them, nor any heat.
 17 For the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them to living fountains of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

___Revelation chapter 8
 1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
 2 And I saw the seven angels who stood before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and much incense was given to him, so that he would offer it with the prayers of all saints on the golden altar that was before the throne.
 4 And the smoke of the incense, that came with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God out of the angel's hand.
 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it into the earth, and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
 6 And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
 7 The first angel sounded, and hail and fire mixed with blood followed, and they were thrown on the earth, and one third of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
 8 And the second angel sounded, and like a large mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and one third of the sea became blood,
 9 And one third of the creatures that were in the sea, and had life, died, and one third of the ships was destroyed.
 10 And the third angel sounded, and a large star from heaven fell, burning like a lamp, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the fountains of waters,
 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood, and one third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
 12 And the fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars, so that one third of them was darkened, and the day didn't shine for one third of it, and the night likewise.
 13 And I saw, and heard an angel flying through the middle of heaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth because of the other voices of the trumpets of the three angels that are yet to sound!"

___Revelation chapter 9
 1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit, like the smoke of a large furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.
 3 And out of the smoke, locusts came on the earth, and power was given to them, like the scorpions of the earth have power.
 4 And they were commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who don't have the seal of God in their foreheads.
 5 And it was given to them not to kill them, but to torment them five months, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a man.
 6 And in those days men shall seek death, and won't find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall run away from them.
 7 And the locusts were shaped like horses prepared for battle, and on their heads were like gold crowns, and their faces were like men's faces.
 8 And they had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
 9 And they had breastplates, like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
 10 And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails, and their power was to hurt men five months.
 11 And they had a king over them, who is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon, but in the Greek language has the name Apollyon.
 12 One woe is past, and, see, two woes more come afterward.
 13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God,
 14 Saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, "Loose the four angels that are bound in the great river Euphrates."
 15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to kill one third of men.
 16 And the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million, and I heard the number of them.
 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone, and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
 18 One third of men was killed by these three, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, that flowed out of their mouths.
 19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails, for their tails were like snakes, and had heads, and they hurt with them.
 20 And the rest of the men that weren't killed by these plagues still didn't repent of the works of their hands, so that they wouldn't worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood, that can neither see, nor hear, nor walk,
 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

___Revelation chapter 10
 1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow was on his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire,
 2 And he had in his hand a little book open, and he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
 3 And shouted with a loud voice, like when a lion roars, and when he had shouted, seven thunders uttered their voices.
 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Seal up the things that the seven thunders uttered, and don't write them."
 5 And the angel that I saw stand on the sea and on the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
 6 And swore by him that lives forever and always, who created heaven, and the things that are in it, and the earth, and the things that are in it, and the sea, and the things that are in it, that there would no longer be time.
 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he begins to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as he has told his servants the prophets.
 8 And the voice that I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said, "Go and take the little book that is open in the hand of the angel that stands on the sea and on the earth."
 9 And I went to the angel, and said to him, "Give me the little book."  And he said to me, "Take it, and eat it up, and it shall make your belly bitter, but it shall be in your mouth sweet as honey."
 10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth, and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
 11 And he said to me, "You must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and languages, and kings."

___Revelation chapter 11
 1 And a piece of bamboo like a rod was given to me, and the angel stood and said, "Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
 2 But the court that is outside the temple leave out, and don't measure it, for it is given to the Gentiles, and they'll tread the holy city under foot, for forty two months.
 3 And I'll give power to my two witnesses, and they'll prophesy a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
 5 And if any man wants to hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies, and if any man wants to hurt them, he must be killed that way.
 6 These have power to shut heaven, so that it doesn't rain in the days of their prophecy, and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they want to.
 7 And when they've finished their testimony, the beast that rises out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, that spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
 9 And those of the people and kindreds and languages and nations shall see their dead bodies three and a half days, and won't allow their dead bodies to be put in graves.
 10 And those who live on the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts to each other, because these two prophets tormented those who lived on the earth.
 11 And after three and a half days, the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here."  And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.
 13 And the same hour there was a great earthquake, and one tenth of the city fell, and in the earthquake seven thousand men were killed, and the remainder were afraid, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
 14 The second woe is past, and, see, the third woe comes quickly."
 15 And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and always."
 16 And the twenty four elders, who sat before God on their seats, fell on their faces, and worshipped God,
 17 Saying, "We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who is, and was, and is to come, because you've taken to yourself your great power, and have reigned.
 18 And the nations were angry, and your anger has come, and the time of the dead, for them to be judged, and that you should reward your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and those who fear your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth."
 19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple, and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

___Revelation chapter 12
 1 And a great wonder appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars,
 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and was in pain desiring deliverance.
 3 And another wonder appeared in heaven, and see, a large red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads.
 4 And his tail drew one third of the stars of heaven, and threw them to the earth, and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to receive deliverance, to devour her child as soon as it was born.
 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, so that they'll feed her there a thousand two hundred sixty days.
 7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels,
 8 And didn't prevail, nor was their place found anymore in heaven.
 9 And the large dragon was thrown out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world, he was thrown out into the earth, and his angels were thrown out with him.
 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Salvation has now come, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accused them before our God day and night.
 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they didn't love their lives until death.
 12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that live in them.  Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea!  For the devil has come down to you, having great anger, because he knows that he has but a short time.
 13 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the man child.
 14 And two wings of a large eagle were given to the woman, so that she'd fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
 15 And the serpent spued out of his mouth water, like a flood, after the woman, so that he'd cause her to be carried away by the flood.
 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed up the flood that the dragon spued out of his mouth.
 17 And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war with the remainder of her children, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

___Revelation chapter 13
 1 And I stood on the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads the name of blasphemy.
 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
 3 And I saw one of his heads like wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered concerning the beast.
 4 And they worshipped the dragon who gave power to the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast?  Who is able to make war with him?"
 5 And a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemies, and power was given to him to continue forty two months.
 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and those who live in heaven.
 7 And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them, and he was given power over all kindreds, and languages, and nations.
 8 And all that live on the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb killed from the foundation of the world.
 9 If any man has an ear, let him hear.
 10 He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity, he that kills with the sword must be killed by the sword.  Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
 11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.
 12 And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and those who live in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
 13 And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
 14 And deceives those who live on the earth by the means of the miracles that he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to those who live on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who had the wound by a sword, and lived.
 15 And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would speak, and would cause that as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast would be killed.
 16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads,
 17 And that no man could buy or sell, except he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
 18 Here is wisdom.  Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is Six hundred sixty six.

___Revelation chapter 14
 1 And I looked, and, see, a Lamb stood on mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of a great thunder, and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps,
 3 And they sang like a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders, and no man could learn that song but the hundred forty four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth.
 4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins.  These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes.  These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
 5 And in their mouth was found no guile, for they are without fault before the throne of God.
 6 And I saw another angel fly in the middle of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and language, and people,
 7 Saying with a loud voice, "Fear God, and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."
 8 And another angel followed, saying, "Babylon has fallen, has fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."
 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any man worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
 10 He'll shall drink of the wine of the anger of God, that is poured out undiluted into the cup of his indignation, and he'll be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb,
 11 And the smoke of their torment rises up forever and always, and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
 12 Here is the patience of the saints, here are those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on, yes, says the Spirit, so that they can rest from their labors, and their works follow them."
 14 And I looked, and see, a white cloud, and on the cloud someone sat like the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
 15 And another angel came out of the temple, shouting with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, "Thrust in your sickle, and reap, for the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
 16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
 17 And another angel came out of the temple that is in heaven, also having a sharp sickle.
 18 And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and shouted with a loud shout to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe."
 19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the anger of God.
 20 And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even up to the horse bridles, for a distance of a thousand six hundred furlongs.

___Revelation chapter 15
 1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them is filled up the anger of God.
 2 And I saw like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who'd gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
 3 And they sang the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty, just and true are your ways, you King of saints.
 4 Who shall not fear you, O Lord, and glorify your name?  For you only are holy, for all nations shall come and worship before you, for your judgments are made clear."
 5 And after that I looked, and see, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened,
 6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts clothed with golden girdles.
 7 And one of the four beasts gave to the seven angels seven golden bottles full of the anger of God, who lives forever and always.
 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power, and no man was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

___Revelation chapter 16
 1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go your ways, and pour out the bottles of the anger of God on the earth."
 2 And the first went, and poured out his bottle on the earth, and a noisome and grievous sore fell on the men who had the mark of the beast, and on those who worshipped his image.
 3 And the second angel poured out his bottle on the sea, and it became like the blood of a dead man, and every living soul died in the sea.
 4 And the third angel poured out his bottle on the rivers and fountains of waters, and they became blood.
 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, "You are righteous, O Lord, who is, and was, and shall be, because you've judged this.
 6 For they've shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you've given them blood to drink, for they are worthy."
 7 And I heard another out of the altar say, "Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments."
 8 And the fourth angel poured out his bottle on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.
 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who has power over these plagues, and they didn't repent to give him glory.
 10 And the fifth angel poured out his bottle on the seat of the beast, and his kingdom was full of darkness, and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and didn't repent of their deeds.
 12 And the sixth angel poured out his bottle on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings of the east would be prepared.
 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, who go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
 15 See, I come like a thief.  Blessed is he that stays awake, and keeps his garments, so he doesn't walk naked, and they see his shame.
 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew language Armageddon.
 17 And the seventh angel poured out his bottle into the air, and a great voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done."
 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as has never been since men were on the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his anger.
 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
 21 And there fell on men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent, and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for the plague of it was very great.

___Revelation chapter 17
 1 And one of the seven angels came, who had the seven bottles, and talked with me, saying to me, "Come here, I'll show to you the judgment of the great whore that sits on many waters,
 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."
 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness, and I saw a woman sit on a red beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and red, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication,
 5 And on her forehead was a name written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
 6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus, and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
 7 And the angel said to me, "Why were you impressed?  I'll tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, that has the seven heads and ten horns.
 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into hell, and those who live on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
 9 And here is the mind that has wisdom.  The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
 10 And there are seven kings, five have fallen, and one is, and the other hasn't yet come, and when he comes, he must continue a short time.
 11 And the beast that was, and is not, he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into hell.
 12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who've received no kingdom yet, but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast.
 14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and those who are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful."
 15 And he said to me, "The waters that you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and languages.
 16 And the ten horns that you saw on the beast, shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
 17 For God has put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
 18 And the woman that you saw is that great city, that reigns over the kings of the earth."

___Revelation chapter 18
 1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
 2 And he shouted mightily with a strong voice, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen, and has become the dwelling place of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through the abundance of her delicacies."
 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, so that you're not partakers of her sins, and so you're not a victim of her plagues.
 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her sins.
 6 Reward her as she rewarded you, and double to her double according to her works, in the cup that she has filled, fill to her double.
 7 As much as she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her, for she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will see no sorrow.'
 8 Therefore her plagues shall come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine, and she shall be completely burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
 9 And the kings of the earth, who've committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
 10 Standing far off for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city!  For in one hour your judgment has come.'
 11 And the merchants of the earth shall cry and mourn over her, for no man buys their merchandise anymore,
 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and red cloth, and all thyine wood, and all kinds of containers of ivory, and all kinds of containers of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
 13 And cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and animals, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
 14 And the fruits that your soul lusted for have departed from you, and all things that were dainty and goodly have departed from you, and you'll find them no more at all.
 15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, shall stand far off for the fear of her torment, crying and wailing,
 16 And saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
 17 For in one hour such great riches has come to nothing.'  And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood far off,
 18 And when they saw the smoke of her burning, shouted, 'What city is like this great city!'
 19 And they threw dust on their heads, and shouted, crying and wailing, saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city, in which all that had ships in the sea were made rich because of her costliness!  For in one hour she's she made desolate.'
 20 Rejoice over her, you heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you against her."
 21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
 22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of flutists, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in you, and no craftsman, of whatever craft he is, shall be found anymore in you, and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in you,
 23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in you, and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorceries all nations were deceived.
 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were killed on the earth."

___Revelation chapter 19
 1 And after these things I heard a great voice of many people in heaven, saying, "Halelujah, Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, to the Lord our God,
 2 For true and righteous are his judgments, for he has judged the great whore, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand."
 3 And again they said, "Halelujah."  And her smoke rose up forever and always.
 4 And the twenty four elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, "Amen, Halelujah."
 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you his servants, and you that fear him, both small and great."
 6 And I heard like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, "Halelujah, for the Lord God all powerful reigns.
 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready."
 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white, for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
 9 And he said to me, "Write, blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb."  And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God."
 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him.  And he said to me, "Make sure you don't do it, I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers that have the testimony of Jesus, worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
 11 And I saw heaven opened, and see, a white horse, and he that sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns, and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called "The Word of God."
 14 And the armies that were in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
 15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, so that with it he'll strike the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and anger of Almighty God.
 16 And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he shouted with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the sky, "Come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God,
 18 So you can eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great."
 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that worked miracles before him, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast, and those who worshipped his image.  These were both thrown alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
 21 And the remainder were killed by the sword of him that sat on the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth, and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

___Revelation chapter 20
 1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a large chain in his hand.
 2 And he took hold of the dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
 3 And threw him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he wouldn't deceive the nations anymore, until the thousand years had ended, and after that he must be loosed a short time.
 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them, and I saw the souls of those who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who hadn't worshipped the beast, nor his image, nor had received his mark on their foreheads, or in their hands, and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
 5 But the rest of the dead didn't live again until the thousand years were finished.  This is the first resurrection.
 6 Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection, on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
 7 And when the thousand years are over, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, the number of whom is like the sand of the sea.
 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city, and fire came down from God out of heaven, and consumed them.
 10 And the devil that deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and always.
 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.
 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged out of the things that were written in the books, according to their works.
 13 And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead that were in them, and they were judged every man according to their works.
 14 And death and hell were thrown into the lake of fire.  This is the second death.
 15 And whoever was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

___Revelation chapter 21
 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there were no more oceans.
 2 And I, John, saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
 3 And I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "See, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will live with them, and they'll be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away."
 5 And he that sat on the throne said, "See, I make all things new."  And he said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."
 6 And he said to me, "It is done.  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.  I will give to him that is thirsty from the fountain of the water of life freely.
 7 He that overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
 9 And one of the seven angels that had the seven bottles full of the seven last plagues came to me, and talked with me, saying, "Come here, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife."
 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
 11 Having the glory of God, and her light was like a stone most precious, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal,
 12 And had a great and high wall, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel,
 13 On the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
 15 And he that talked with me had a golden bamboo to measure the city, and the gates of it, and the wall of it.
 16 And the city lies foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth, and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs.  The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
 17 And he measured the wall of it, a two hundred sixteen feet, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
 18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper, and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all kinds of precious stones.  The first foundation was jasper, the second, sapphire, the third, a chalcedony, the fourth, an emerald,
 20 The fifth, sardonyx, the sixth, sardius, the seventh, chrysolite, the eighth, beryl, the ninth, a topaz, the tenth, a chrysoprasus, the eleventh, a jacinth, the twelfth, an amethyst.
 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates was of one pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
 22 And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
 23 And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it, and the Lamb is the light of it.
 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in the light of it, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it.
 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day, for there shall be no night there.
 26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
 27 And there shall in no way enter into it anything that defiles, nor whatever works abomination, or makes a lie, but those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

___Revelation chapter 22
 1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
 2 In the middle of the street of it, and on either side of the river, there was the tree of life, that produced twelve kinds of fruits, and yielded its fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him,
 4 And they shall see his face, and his name shall be in their foreheads.
 5 And there shall be no night there, and they need no candle, nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light, and they shall reign forever and always.
 6 And he said to me, "These sayings are faithful and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show to his servants the things that must shortly be done.
 7 See, I come quickly, blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book."
 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them.  And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that showed me these things.
 9 Then he said to me, "Make sure you don't do it, for I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the sayings of this book, worship God."
 10 And he said to me, "Don't seal the sayings of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still, and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still, and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still, and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
 12 And, see, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according to his work.
 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
 14 Blessed are those who do his commandments, so that they'll have right to the tree of life, and can enter in through the gates into the city.
 15 For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and customers of prostitutes, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loves and makes a lie.
 16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches.  I am the root and the descendant of David, and the bright and morning star.
 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come.'  And let him that hears say, 'Come.'  And let him that is thirsty come.  And whoever wants to, let him take the water of life freely.
 18 For I testify to every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book,
 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things that are written in this book.
 20 He that testifies these things says, surely I come quickly.  Amen."  Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.  Amen.
