Coming of the lord jesus Christ » Coming of the lord
And we beseech you, brothers, in respect to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being brought together to him, that you be not soon shaken in mind, nor terrified, neither by a spirit, nor by a discourse, nor by an epistle as from us, as though the day of the Lord was at hand. Let no one deceive you in any way, for [he shall not come] unless the apostacy comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, read more.
who opposes and exalts himself above every thing that is called a god or an object of worship, so that he sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was with you I told you of these things? And now you know what hinders him from being revealed in his time. For the mystery of wickedness already works, [God] only restrains it just now, till it shall be out of the way; and then shall the wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming, whose coming is according to the power of Satan, with all power and miracles and false prodigies and with every unrighteous deceit among those who are destroyed, because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. And therefore, God sends them a power of delusion that they should believe a lie, that they all may be condemned who believe not the truth but have pleasure in wickedness.

AND Jesus went out and departed from the temple; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. And he answered and said to them, Do you not see all these things? I tell you truly, there shall not be left here stone upon stone that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat on the Mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us when these things shall be; and what shall be the sign of your coming, and of the consummation of the world? read more.
And Jesus answered and said to them, See that no man deceives you; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and shall deceive many. And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you be not terrified, for all things must be accomplished; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in different places; but all these things are the beginning of sorrows. Then they shall deliver you to affliction, and kill you, and you shall be hated by all nations on my account; and then many shall be offended, and shall betray one another, and hate one another; and many false prophets shall be raised up and deceive many, and because wickedness shall abound the love of the many shall become cold: but he that endures to the end shall be saved. And this good news of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come. When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place??et him that reads understand,??16 then let those in Judea flee to the mountains. Let not him that is on his house come down to take the things from his house; and let not him that is in the field return back to take his clothes; and woe to those with child and giving nurse in those days! But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath; for at that time there shall be great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world even till now, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved: but on account of the elect those days shall be shortened. Then if one says to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or there! believe it not. For false Christs and false prophets shall be raised up, and shall show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you before. If, therefore, they say to you, Behold he is in the wilderness, go not forth; Behold he is in private rooms, believe it not. For as the lightning comes forth from the East, and shines even to the West, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. Wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles be gathered together. And immediately after the affliction of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a loud sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from the one end of heaven to the other. But learn the parable of the fig tree. When its branch is now green, and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is nigh. So also when you see all these things, know that [the Son of man] is nigh, at the doors. I tell you truly, that this generation shall not pass away till all these things shall be accomplished. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour no man knows, nor the angels of heaven; but my Father only. And as the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day that Noah entered the ark, and knew not till the flood came and took them all away, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. Then two shall be in the field; one is taken and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken and the other left. Watch, therefore, for you know not on what day your Lord comes, But know this, that if the householder had known in what watch the thief comes, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken into. Therefore be you also ready, for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes.

AND as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Teacher, see what stones, and what buildings! And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down. And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite to the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked him privately, read more.
Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? And Jesus said to them, See that no man deceives you; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [the Christ], and shall deceive many. And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not afraid, for these things must be; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in [different] places, and there shall be famines. These are the beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves; they shall deliver you up to Sanhedrims, and you shall be beaten in synagogues, and shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them. And the good news must first be preached to all nations. And when they deliver you to afflictions, be not anxious beforehand what you shall say; but whatever is given you in that hour, this speak; for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father, son; and children shall rise up against their parents and kill them; and you shall be hated by all on my account; but he that endures to the end shall be saved. And when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, let him that reads understand, then let those in Judea flee to the mountains; and let not him that is on the house go down into the house, nor enter to take any thing out of his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. And woe to those with child, and those giving nurse in those days! But pray that it may not be in the winter, for those days shall be an affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created till now, and shall not be. And unless the Lord had shortened those days no flesh would be saved; but for the elects' sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days. And then if any one says to you, Behold the Christ is here! Behold there! believe it not. For false prophets shall arise, and perform miracles and wonders, to deceive, if possible, the elect. But beware; I have foretold you all things. But in those days, after that affliction, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers in the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds, with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels and gather together the elect, from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of heaven. But learn the parable of the fig tree. When its branch is now tender and it puts forth leaves, it is known that the summer is nigh; so also when you see all these things occur, know that [the Son of man] is nigh, at the doors. I tell you truly, that this generation shall not pass away till all these things are accomplished.

AND some speaking of the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive offerings, he said, As to these things which you see, the days will come in which stone shall not be left upon stone that shall not be thrown down. And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be? and what sign [shall there be], when these things are about to occur? read more.
And he said, See that you be not deceived; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ], and the time is at hand; go not after them. And when you hear of wars and insurrections, be not terrified, for these things must be first; but the end is not immediately. Then said he to them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and in places there shall be great earthquakes, and famines, and pestilences; and there shall also be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. But before all these things they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, committing you to synagogues and prisons, to be brought before kings and governors on my account; and it shall result to you for a testimony. Settle it in your minds, therefore, not to premeditate what defense you shall make, for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your enemies shall not be able to resist or dispute. And you shall be delivered up by parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends; and they shall kill some of you; and you shall be hated by all on my account; and a hair of your heads shall by no means perish; by your patience you shall save your souls. But when you see Jerusalem surrounded with encampments, then know that its desolation is at hand. Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains; and those in the midst of it depart out of it; and let those in country places not enter into it. For these are days of judgment, that all things which are written may be fully accomplished. But woe to those with child, and having children at the breast in those days; for there shall be great distress on the earth, and wrath against this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be carried away captive to all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by gentiles, till the times of gentiles are fully accomplished. And there shall be signs in the sun, and moon, and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity [at] the roaring of the sea and waves, men dying with fear and an expectation of evils to come on the world; for the hosts of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to occur, arise and lift up your heads, for your redemption is near. And he spoke to them a parable; See the fig tree and all the trees; when they now put forth, observing you know of yourselves that summer already is nigh; so, also, when you see all these things occur, know that the kingdom of God is nigh. I tell you truly, that this generation shall by no means pass away till all these things are accomplished. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Take heed to yourselves, that your hearts be not oppressed with revelling and drunkenness, and worldly cares, and that day come upon you suddenly; for it shall come like a snare on all who live on the face of the whole earth. But watch continually, praying that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to occur, and to stand before the Son of man.

When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place??et him that reads understand,??16 then let those in Judea flee to the mountains. Let not him that is on his house come down to take the things from his house; and let not him that is in the field return back to take his clothes; and woe to those with child and giving nurse in those days! But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath; for at that time there shall be great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world even till now, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved: but on account of the elect those days shall be shortened. Then if one says to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or there! believe it not. For false Christs and false prophets shall be raised up, and shall show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you before. If, therefore, they say to you, Behold he is in the wilderness, go not forth; Behold he is in private rooms, believe it not. For as the lightning comes forth from the East, and shines even to the West, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. Wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles be gathered together. And immediately after the affliction of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a loud sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from the one end of heaven to the other. But learn the parable of the fig tree. When its branch is now green, and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is nigh. So also when you see all these things, know that [the Son of man] is nigh, at the doors. I tell you truly, that this generation shall not pass away till all these things shall be accomplished. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour no man knows, nor the angels of heaven; but my Father only. And as the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day that Noah entered the ark, and knew not till the flood came and took them all away, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. Then two shall be in the field; one is taken and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken and the other left. Watch, therefore, for you know not on what day your Lord comes, But know this, that if the householder had known in what watch the thief comes, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken into. Therefore be you also ready, for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes.
And Jesus answered and said to them, See that no man deceives you; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and shall deceive many. And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you be not terrified, for all things must be accomplished; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in different places; but all these things are the beginning of sorrows. Then they shall deliver you to affliction, and kill you, and you shall be hated by all nations on my account; and then many shall be offended, and shall betray one another, and hate one another; and many false prophets shall be raised up and deceive many, and because wickedness shall abound the love of the many shall become cold: but he that endures to the end shall be saved.

AND as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Teacher, see what stones, and what buildings! And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down. And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite to the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked him privately, read more.
Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? And Jesus said to them, See that no man deceives you; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [the Christ], and shall deceive many. And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not afraid, for these things must be; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in [different] places, and there shall be famines. These are the beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves; they shall deliver you up to Sanhedrims, and you shall be beaten in synagogues, and shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them. And the good news must first be preached to all nations. And when they deliver you to afflictions, be not anxious beforehand what you shall say; but whatever is given you in that hour, this speak; for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father, son; and children shall rise up against their parents and kill them; and you shall be hated by all on my account; but he that endures to the end shall be saved. And when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, let him that reads understand, then let those in Judea flee to the mountains; and let not him that is on the house go down into the house, nor enter to take any thing out of his house; and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment. And woe to those with child, and those giving nurse in those days! But pray that it may not be in the winter, for those days shall be an affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created till now, and shall not be. And unless the Lord had shortened those days no flesh would be saved; but for the elects' sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days. And then if any one says to you, Behold the Christ is here! Behold there! believe it not. For false prophets shall arise, and perform miracles and wonders, to deceive, if possible, the elect. But beware; I have foretold you all things. But in those days, after that affliction, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers in the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds, with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels and gather together the elect, from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of heaven. But learn the parable of the fig tree.

AND some speaking of the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive offerings, he said, As to these things which you see, the days will come in which stone shall not be left upon stone that shall not be thrown down. And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be? and what sign [shall there be], when these things are about to occur? read more.
And he said, See that you be not deceived; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ], and the time is at hand; go not after them. And when you hear of wars and insurrections, be not terrified, for these things must be first; but the end is not immediately. Then said he to them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and in places there shall be great earthquakes, and famines, and pestilences; and there shall also be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. But before all these things they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, committing you to synagogues and prisons, to be brought before kings and governors on my account; and it shall result to you for a testimony. Settle it in your minds, therefore, not to premeditate what defense you shall make, for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your enemies shall not be able to resist or dispute. And you shall be delivered up by parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends; and they shall kill some of you; and you shall be hated by all on my account; and a hair of your heads shall by no means perish; by your patience you shall save your souls. But when you see Jerusalem surrounded with encampments, then know that its desolation is at hand. Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains; and those in the midst of it depart out of it; and let those in country places not enter into it. For these are days of judgment, that all things which are written may be fully accomplished. But woe to those with child, and having children at the breast in those days; for there shall be great distress on the earth, and wrath against this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be carried away captive to all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by gentiles, till the times of gentiles are fully accomplished. And there shall be signs in the sun, and moon, and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity [at] the roaring of the sea and waves, men dying with fear and an expectation of evils to come on the world; for the hosts of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to occur, arise and lift up your heads, for your redemption is near. And he spoke to them a parable; See the fig tree and all the trees; when they now put forth, observing you know of yourselves that summer already is nigh; so, also, when you see all these things occur, know that the kingdom of God is nigh. I tell you truly, that this generation shall by no means pass away till all these things are accomplished. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Take heed to yourselves, that your hearts be not oppressed with revelling and drunkenness, and worldly cares, and that day come upon you suddenly; for it shall come like a snare on all who live on the face of the whole earth.

Hate » Who the world hates
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

But when they have delivered you up be not anxious how you shall speak, or what you shall say, for it shall be given you in that hour what to say; for it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaks in you. And a brother shall deliver a brother to death, and a father a son; and children shall rise up against their parents and put them to death; and you shall be hated by all men for my sake. But he that endures to the end shall be saved.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit he trims, that it may bear more fruit. You are now pure, by means of the word which I have spoken to you; read more.
continue in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it continues in the vine, so you cannot, unless you continue in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He that continues in me and I in him, this man bears much fruit; for separated from me, you can do nothing. If any one continues not in me he is cast without as a branch, and is withered; and they collect them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you continue in me, and my words continue in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be [given] you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you; continue in my love. If you keep my commandments you shall continue in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and continue in his love. I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be completed. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No man has greater love than this, that one should give his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you; I no longer call you servants, for the servant knows not what his Lord does; but I have called you friends: for all things which I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should continue, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. These things I charge you, that you love one another. If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before you. If you were of this world, the world would be a friend to its own; but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

JESUS spoke these words and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee, as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that as to all that thou hast given him he should give them eternal life. And this is the eternal life; that they shall know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. read more.
I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do. And now glorify thou me, Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gayest me out of the world; they were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are of thee, because the words which thou hast given me I have given them; and they have received and known truly that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine, and all mine are thine, and thine mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep in thy name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we also are. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name which thou gayest me, and preserved [them], and no one of them has been lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled; but now I come to thee, and I say these things in the world that they may have my joy made complete in them. I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do. And now glorify thou me, Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gayest me out of the world; they were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are of thee, because the words which thou hast given me I have given them; and they have received and known truly that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine, and all mine are thine, and thine mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep in thy name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we also are. When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name which thou gayest me, and preserved [them], and no one of them has been lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled; but now I come to thee, and I say these things in the world that they may have my joy made complete in them. I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
For this is the message which you heard from the beginning; that we should love one another; not as Cain was of the evil one and killed his brother; and why did he kill him? because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Wonder not, brothers, if the world hates you.
Persecution » Who shall face persecution
And all who will live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted.
For I think that God has shown us the apostles last, as devoted to death, for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men. For we are foolish for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; and you are glorious, but we are infamous. Even to this hour we suffer hunger and thirst and nakedness, and are beaten, and are unsettled, read more.
and labor, working with our hands; being reviled we bless, being persecuted we endure, being defamed we entreat; we are made like the offscouring of the world and the vilest of all things, even till now.

AND as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Teacher, see what stones, and what buildings! And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down. And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite to the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked him privately, read more.
Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished? And Jesus said to them, See that no man deceives you; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [the Christ], and shall deceive many. And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not afraid, for these things must be; but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in [different] places, and there shall be famines. These are the beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves; they shall deliver you up to Sanhedrims, and you shall be beaten in synagogues, and shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them. And the good news must first be preached to all nations. And when they deliver you to afflictions, be not anxious beforehand what you shall say; but whatever is given you in that hour, this speak; for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother shall deliver brother to death, and father, son; and children shall rise up against their parents and kill them; and you shall be hated by all on my account; but he that endures to the end shall be saved.

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves. But beware of men; for they will deliver you to Sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues, and you shall be brought before governors, and kings, for my sake, for a testimony to them and the nations. read more.
But when they have delivered you up be not anxious how you shall speak, or what you shall say, for it shall be given you in that hour what to say; for it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaks in you. And a brother shall deliver a brother to death, and a father a son; and children shall rise up against their parents and put them to death; and you shall be hated by all men for my sake. But he that endures to the end shall be saved. And when they persecute you in one city, flee to another. For I tell you truly, that you will not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man shall come. A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is sufficient for the disciple to be as his teacher, and the servant as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they call the members of his family by that name.

But before all these things they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, committing you to synagogues and prisons, to be brought before kings and governors on my account; and it shall result to you for a testimony. Settle it in your minds, therefore, not to premeditate what defense you shall make, for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your enemies shall not be able to resist or dispute. And you shall be delivered up by parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends; and they shall kill some of you; and you shall be hated by all on my account; and a hair of your heads shall by no means perish; by your patience you shall save your souls.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit he trims, that it may bear more fruit. You are now pure, by means of the word which I have spoken to you; read more.

He that continues in me and I in him, this man bears much fruit; for separated from me, you can do nothing. If any one continues not in me he is cast without as a branch, and is withered; and they collect them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you continue in me, and my words continue in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be [given] you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and be my disciples.

I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be completed. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No man has greater love than this, that one should give his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you; I no longer call you servants, for the servant knows not what his Lord does; but I have called you friends: for all things which I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should continue, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. These things I charge you, that you love one another. If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before you. If you were of this world, the world would be a friend to its own; but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word which I said to you, a servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours.

Then they shall deliver you to affliction, and kill you, and you shall be hated by all nations on my account; and then many shall be offended, and shall betray one another, and hate one another; and many false prophets shall be raised up and deceive many, and because wickedness shall abound the love of the many shall become cold: but he that endures to the end shall be saved. And this good news of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come. When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place??et him that reads understand,??16 then let those in Judea flee to the mountains. Let not him that is on his house come down to take the things from his house; and let not him that is in the field return back to take his clothes; and woe to those with child and giving nurse in those days! But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath; for at that time there shall be great affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the world even till now, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved: but on account of the elect those days shall be shortened. Then if one says to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or there! believe it not. For false Christs and false prophets shall be raised up, and shall show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you before. If, therefore, they say to you, Behold he is in the wilderness, go not forth; Behold he is in private rooms, believe it not. For as the lightning comes forth from the East, and shines even to the West, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. Wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles be gathered together. And immediately after the affliction of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a loud sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from the one end of heaven to the other. But learn the parable of the fig tree. When its branch is now green, and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is nigh. So also when you see all these things, know that [the Son of man] is nigh, at the doors. I tell you truly, that this generation shall not pass away till all these things shall be accomplished.
And Jesus answered and said to them, See that no man deceives you; for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and shall deceive many.

If any one continues not in me he is cast without as a branch, and is withered; and they collect them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you continue in me, and my words continue in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be [given] you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and be my disciples.

I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be completed. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No man has greater love than this, that one should give his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you; I no longer call you servants, for the servant knows not what his Lord does; but I have called you friends: for all things which I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should continue, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.

Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are of thee, because the words which thou hast given me I have given them; and they have received and known truly that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me.
