Matthew 24:6-14

6You will continually hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end [of the age].

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

8But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs [of the intolerable anguish and the time of unprecedented trouble].

9“Then they will hand you over to [endure] tribulation, and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10At that time many will be offended and repelled [by their association with Me] and will fall away [from the One whom they should trust] and will betray one another [handing over believers to their persecutors] and will hate one another.

11Many false prophets will appear and mislead many.

12Because lawlessness is increased, the love of most people will grow cold.

13But the one who endures and bears up [under suffering] to the end will be saved.

14This good news of the kingdom [the gospel] will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end [of the age] will come.
