Matthew 24:4-14

4 And Jesus answered and said to them, "¹See to it that no one misleads you.

5 "For ²many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.

6 "You will be hearing of ³wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

7 "For ⁴nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be ⁵famines and earthquakes.

8 "⁶But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

9 "⁷Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and ⁸you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10 "At that time many will ⁹fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.

11 "Many ¹⁰false prophets will arise and will mislead many.

12 "Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.

13 "¹¹But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

14 "This ¹²gospel of the kingdom ¹³shall be preached in the whole ¹⁴world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
