Both

The nations were angry,
but Your wrath has come.
The time has come
for the dead to be judged
and to give the reward
to Your servants the prophets,
to the saints, and to those who fear Your name,
both small and great,
and the time has come to destroy
those who destroy the earth.

A voice came from the throne, saying:

Praise our God,
all His slaves, who fear Him,
both small and great!

I also saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged according to their works by what was written in the books.

Whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel would be put to death, young or old, man or woman.

He will bless those who fear the Lord—
small and great alike.

To this very day, I have obtained help that comes from God, and I stand and testify to both small and great, saying nothing else than what the prophets and Moses said would take place—

Rich

God is not partial to princes
and does not favor the rich over the poor,
for they are all the work of His hands.

both low and high,
rich and poor together.

Free

Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the military commanders, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

so that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of their riders, and the flesh of everyone, both free and slave, small and great.”

For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

knowing that whatever good each one does, slave or free, he will receive this back from the Lord.

In Christ there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.

A mark

And a third angel followed them and spoke with a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

I also saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had won the victory over the beast, his image, and the number of his name, were standing on the sea of glass with harps from God.

But the beast was taken prisoner, and along with him the false prophet, who had performed the signs in his presence. He deceived those who accepted the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image with these signs. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

Then I saw thrones, and people seated on them who were given authority to judge. I also saw the people

who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of God’s word, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not accepted the mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with the Messiah for 1,000 years.

If someone asks him: What are these wounds on your chest?—then he will answer: I received the wounds in the house of my friends.

Or

“Don’t harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we seal the slaves of our God on their foreheads.”

Let it serve as a sign for you on your hand and as a reminder on your forehead,

so that the Lord’s instruction may be in your mouth; for the Lord brought you out of Egypt with a strong hand.

Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead.

“Imprint these words of mine on your hearts and minds, bind them as a sign on your hands, and let them be a symbol on your foreheads.

“Pass throughout the city of Jerusalem,” the Lord said to him, “and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the detestable practices committed in it.”

Just as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men who are corrupt in mind, worthless in regard to the faith.
