Matthew 24:4-14

4 And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, *I* am the Christ, and they shall mislead many.

6 But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all [these things] must take place, but it is not yet the end.

7 For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.

8 But all these [are the] beginning of throes.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.

10 And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another;

11 and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many;

12 and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;

13 but he that has endured to the end, *he* shall be saved.

14 And these glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a witness to all the nations, and then shall come the end.
