1
And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain.
2
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
3
He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
4
I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5
(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.
6
Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
7
When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison
8
and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.
9
They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
10
And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.
12
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.
13
The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.
14
Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.
15
Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
1
The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
2
The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
3
One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.
4
People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
5
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.
6
It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.
7
It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.
8
All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
9
Whoever has ears, let them hear.
10
“If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.”This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people.
11
Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.
12
It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
13
And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people.
14
Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
15
The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
16
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,
17
so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18
This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.
1
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2
This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
3
but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
4
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
5
They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.
6
We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
7
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
10
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
13
This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.
14
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
15
If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
16
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
17
This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.
18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19
We love because he first loved us.
20
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
21
And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4
God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6
And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”
7
So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.
8
God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
9
And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.
10
God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11
Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.
12
The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
13
And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
14
And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,
15
and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
16
God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
17
God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,
18
to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19
And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
20
And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.”
21
So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22
God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
23
And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
24
And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.
25
God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
28
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
29
Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
30
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
