3:1This, a second letter, beloved, I already write to you, in [both] which I stir up, in the way of putting you in remembrance, your pure mind, 3:2to be mindful of the words spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles; 3:3knowing this first, that there shall come at [the] close of the days mockers with mocking, walking according to their own lusts, 3:4and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the time the fathers fell asleep all things remain thus from [the] beginning of [the] creation. 3:5For this is hidden from them through their own wilfulness, that heavens were of old, and an earth, having its subsistence out of water and in water, by the word of God, 3:6through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished. 3:7But the present heavens and the earth by his word are laid up in store, kept for fire unto a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 3:8But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 3:9[The] Lord does not delay his promise, as some account of delay, but is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 3:10But the day of [the] Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and [the] earth and the works in it shall be burnt up. 3:11All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness, 3:12waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which [the] heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall melt? 3:13But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness. 3:14Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless; 3:15and account the longsuffering of our Lord [to be] salvation; according as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him, 3:16as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; among which some things are hard to be understood, which the untaught and ill-established wrest, as also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. 3:17*Ye* therefore, beloved, knowing [these] things before, take care lest, being led away along with the error of the wicked, ye should fall from your own stedfastness: 3:18but grow in grace, and in [the] knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and to [the] day of eternity. Amen.
1 John
1:1That which was from [the] beginning, that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes; that which we contemplated, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life; 1:2(and the life has been manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and report to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and has been manifested to us:) 1:3that which we have seen and heard we report to you, that *ye* also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship [is] indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1:4And these things write we to you that your joy may be full. 1:5And this is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1:6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practise the truth. 1:7But if we walk in the light as *he* is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. 1:8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1:9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us [our] sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1:10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
2:1My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous; 2:2and *he* is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world. 2:3And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 2:4He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 2:5but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him. 2:6He that says he abides in him ought, even as *he* walked, himself also [so] to walk. 2:7Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard. 2:8Again, I write a new commandment to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light already shines. 2:9He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now. 2:10He that loves his brother abides in light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him. 2:11But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 2:12I write to you, children, because [your] sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 2:13I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked [one]. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father. 2:14I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked [one]. 2:15Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him; 2:16because all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 2:17And the world is passing, and its lust, but he that does the will of God abides for eternity. 2:18Little children, it is [the] last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence we know that it is [the] last hour. 2:19They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have surely remained with us, but that they might be made manifest that none are of us. 2:20And *ye* have [the] unction from the holy [one], and ye know all things. 2:21I have not written to you because ye do not know the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 2:22Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? *He* is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 2:23Whoever denies the Son has not the Father either; he who confesses the Son has the Father also. 2:24As for *you* let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if what ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, *ye* also shall abide in the Son and in the Father. 2:25And this is the promise which *he* has promised us, life eternal. 2:26These things have I written to you concerning those who lead you astray: 2:27and *yourselves*, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him. 2:28And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming. 2:29If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
3:1See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called [the] children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not. 3:2Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3:3And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as *he* is pure. 3:4Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 3:5And ye know that *he* has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not. 3:6Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever sins, has not seen him or known him. 3:7Children, let no man lead you astray; he that practises righteousness is righteous, even as *he* is righteous. 3:8He that practises sin is of the devil; for from [the] beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil. 3:9Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God. 3:10In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the devil. Whoever does not practise righteousness is not of God, and he who does not love his brother. 3:11For this is the message which ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: 3:12not as Cain was of the wicked one, and slew his brother; and on account of what slew he him? because his works were wicked, and those of his brother righteous. 3:13Do not wonder, brethren, if the world hate you. 3:14*We* know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love [his] brother abides in death. 3:15Every one that hates his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 3:16Hereby we have known love, because *he* has laid down his life for us; and *we* ought for the brethren to lay down [our] lives. 3:17But whoso may have the world's substance, and see his brother having need, and shut up his bowels from him, how abides the love of God in him? 3:18Children, let us not love with word, nor with tongue, but in deed and in truth. 3:19And hereby we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall persuade our hearts before him 3:20that if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things. 3:21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness towards God, 3:22and whatsoever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and practise the things which are pleasing in his sight. 3:23And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and that we love one another, even as he has given us commandment. 3:24And he that keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given to us.
4:1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, if they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 4:2Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses Jesus Christ come in flesh is of God; 4:3and every spirit which does not confess Jesus Christ come in flesh is not of God: and this is that [power] of the antichrist, [of] which ye have heard that it comes, and now it is already in the world. 4:4*Ye* are of God, children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that [is] in you than he that [is] in the world. 4:5*They* are of the world; for this reason they speak [as] of the world, and the world hears them. 4:6*We* are of God; he that knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 4:7Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God. 4:8He that loves not has not known God; for God is love. 4:9Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 4:10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. 4:11Beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 4:12No one has seen God at any time: if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us. 4:13Hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, that he has given to us of his Spirit. 4:14And *we* have seen, and testify, that the Father has sent the Son [as] Saviour of the world. 4:15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 4:16And *we* have known and have believed the love which God has to us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 4:17Herein has love been perfected with us that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that even as *he* is, *we* also are in this world. 4:18There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has torment, and he that fears has not been made perfect in love. 4:19*We* love because *he* has first loved us. 4:20If any one say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 4:21And this commandment have we from him, That he that loves God love also his brother.
5:1Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him. 5:2Hereby know we that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments. 5:3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous. 5:4For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith. 5:5Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 5:6This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus [the] Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth. 5:7For they that bear witness are three: 5:8the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one. 5:9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God [which] he has witnessed concerning his Son. 5:10He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son. 5:11And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son. 5:12He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life. 5:13These things have I written to you that ye may know that ye have eternal life who believe on the name of the Son of God. 5:14And this is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us. 5:15And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. 5:16If any one see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life, for those that do not sin unto death. There is a sin to death: I do not say of that that he should make a request. 5:17Every unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death. 5:18We know that every one begotten of God does not sin, but he that has been begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked [one] does not touch him. 5:19We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the wicked [one]. 5:20And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding that we should know him that [is] true; and we are in him that [is] true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 5:21Children, keep yourselves from idols.

Revelation
1:1Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to shew to his bondmen what must shortly take place; and he signified [it], sending by his angel, to his bondman John, 1:2who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw. 1:3Blessed [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time [is] near. 1:4John to the seven assemblies which [are] in Asia: Grace to you and peace from [him] who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which [are] before his throne; 1:5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood, 1:6and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father: to him [be] the glory and the might to the ages of ages. Amen. 1:7Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen. 1:8I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith [the] Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. 1:9I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus. 1:10I became in [the] Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet, 1:11saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea. 1:12And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps, 1:13and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle: 1:14his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire; 1:15and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters; 1:16and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power. 1:17And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; *I* am the first and the last, 1:18and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades. 1:19Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these. 1:20The mystery of the seven stars which thou hast seen on my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. The seven stars are angels of the seven assemblies; and the seven lamps are seven assemblies.
2:1To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: These things says he that holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamps: 2:2I know thy works and [thy] labour, and thine endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil [men]; and thou hast tried them who say that themselves [are] apostles and are not, and hast found them liars; 2:3and endurest, and hast borne for my name's sake, and hast not wearied: 2:4but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love. 2:5Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent. 2:6But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which *I* also hate. 2:7He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God. 2:8And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who became dead, and lived: 2:9I know thy tribulation and thy poverty; but thou art rich; and the railing of those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but a synagogue of Satan. 2:10Fear nothing [of] what thou art about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of life. 2:11He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He that overcomes shall in no wise be injured of the second death. 2:12And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamos write: These things says he that has the sharp two-edged sword: 2:13I know where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan [is]; and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness [was], who was slain among you, where Satan dwells. 2:14But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a snare before the sons of Israel, to eat [of] idol sacrifices and commit fornication. 2:15So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of Nicolaitanes in like manner. 2:16Repent therefore: but if not, I come to thee quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword of my mouth. 2:17He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives [it]. 2:18And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, he that has his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass: 2:19I know thy works, and love, and faith, and service, and thine endurance, and thy last works [to be] more than the first. 2:20But I have against thee that thou permittest the woman Jezebel, she who calls herself prophetess, and she teaches and leads astray my servants to commit fornication and eat of idol sacrifices. 2:21And I gave her time that she should repent, and she will not repent of her fornication. 2:22Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, 2:23and her children will I kill with death; and all the assemblies shall know that *I* am he that searches [the] reins and [the] hearts; and I will give to you each according to your works. 2:24But to you I say, the rest who [are] in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I do not cast upon you any other burden; 2:25but what ye have hold fast till I shall come. 2:26And he that overcomes, and he that keeps unto the end my works, to him will I give authority over the nations, 2:27and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; as vessels of pottery are they broken in pieces, as I also have received from my Father; 2:28and I will give to him the morning star. 2:29He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
3:1And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: These things saith he that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 3:2Be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die, for I have not found thy works complete before my God. 3:3Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and keep [it] and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come [upon thee] as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I shall come upon thee. 3:4But thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy. 3:5He that overcomes, *he* shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, and will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 3:6He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. 3:7And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things saith the holy, the true; he that has the key of David, he who opens and no one shall shut, and shuts and no one shall open: 3:8I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an opened door, which no one can shut, because thou hast a little power, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 3:9Behold, I make them of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews, and are not, but lie; behold, I will cause that they shall come and shall do homage before thy feet, and shall know that *I* have loved thee. 3:10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, *I* also will keep thee out of the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole habitable world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 3:11I come quickly: hold fast what thou hast, that no one take thy crown. 3:12He that overcomes, him will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more at all out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven, from my God, and my new name. 3:13He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. 3:14And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God: 3:15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. 3:16Thus because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to spue thee out of my mouth. 3:17Because thou sayest, I am rich, and am grown rich, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that *thou* art the wretched and the miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked; 3:18I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white garments, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye-salve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. 3:19I rebuke and discipline as many as I love; be zealous therefore and repent. 3:20Behold, I stand at the door and am knocking; if any one hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and sup with him, and he with me. 3:21He that overcomes, to him will I give to sit with me in my throne; as *I* also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father in his throne. 3:22He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
4:1After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will shew thee the things which must take place after these things. 4:2Immediately I became in [the] Spirit; and behold, a throne stood in the heaven, and upon the throne one sitting, 4:3and he [that was] sitting like in appearance to a stone [of] jasper and a sardius, and a rainbow round the throne like in appearance to an emerald. 4:4And round the throne twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones twenty-four elders sitting, clothed with white garments; and on their heads golden crowns. 4:5And out of the throne go forth lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and seven lamps of fire, burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; 4:6and before the throne, as a glass sea, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, four living creatures, full of eyes, before and behind; 4:7and the first living creature like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature having the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle. 4:8And the four living creatures, each one of them having respectively six wings; round and within they are full of eyes; and they cease not day and night saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come. 4:9And when the living creatures shall give glory and honour and thanksgiving to him that sits upon the throne, who lives to the ages of ages, 4:10the twenty-four elders shall fall before him that sits upon the throne, and do homage to him that lives to the ages of ages; and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 4:11Thou art worthy, O our Lord and [our] God, to receive glory and honour and power; for *thou* hast created all things, and for thy will they were, and they have been created.
5:1And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. 5:2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who [is] worthy to open the book, and to break its seals? 5:3And no one was able in the heaven, or upon the earth, or underneath the earth, to open the book, or to regard it. 5:4And *I* wept much because no one had been found worthy to open the book nor to regard it. 5:5And one of the elders says to me, Do not weep. Behold, the lion which [is] of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, has overcome [so as] to open the book, and its seven seals. 5:6And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [which are] sent into all the earth: 5:7and it came and took [it] out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 5:8And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints. 5:9And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, 5:10and made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth. 5:11And I saw, and I heard [the] voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and their number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands; 5:12saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 5:13And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and [those that are] upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages. 5:14And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down and did homage.
6:1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as a voice of thunder, Come [and see]. 6:2And I saw: and behold, a white horse, and he that sat upon it having a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering and that he might conquer. 6:3And when it opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come [and see]. 6:4And another, a red horse, went forth; and to him that sat upon it, to him it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given to him a great sword. 6:5And when it opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come [and see]. And I saw: and behold, a black horse, and he that sat upon it having a balance in his hand. 6:6And I heard as a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius: and do not injure the oil and the wine. 6:7And when it opened the fourth seal, I heard [the voice of] the fourth living creature saying, Come [and see]. 6:8And I saw: and behold, a pale horse, and he that sat upon it, his name [was] Death, and hades followed with him; and authority was given to him over the fourth of the earth to slay with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the earth. 6:9And when it opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held; 6:10and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O sovereign Ruler, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell upon the earth? 6:11And there was given to them, to each one a white robe; and it was said to them that they should rest yet a little while, until both their fellow-bondmen and their brethren, who were about to be killed as they, should be fulfilled. 6:12And I saw when it opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as hair sackcloth, and the whole moon became as blood, 6:13and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth, as a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, casts its unseasonable figs. 6:14And the heaven was removed as a book rolled up, and every mountain and island were removed out of their places. 6:15And the kings of the earth, and the great, and the chiliarchs, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; 6:16and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and have us hidden from [the] face of him that sits upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 6:17because the great day of his wrath is come, and who is able to stand?
