Matthew 24:4-12

New King James Version

⁴ And Jesus answered and said to them: ^(A)“Take heed that no one deceives you. ⁵ For ^(B)many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ ^(C)and will deceive many. ⁶ And you will hear of ^(D)wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for ^[a]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For ^(E)nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be ^(F)famines, ^[b]pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of sorrows.

^9 (G)“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. ¹⁰ And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. ¹¹ Then ^(H)many false prophets will rise up and ^(I)deceive many. ¹² And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow ^(J)cold.
