⁶ And you will be hearing of ^(A)wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

⁸ For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are only the beginning of birth pains.

⁹ And when you hear of wars and revolts, do not be alarmed; for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately.”
