^5 (A)The one who overcomes will be clothed the same way, in ^(B)white garments; and I will not ^(C)erase his name from the book of life, and ^(D)I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

The Beast from the Sea

13 And the dragon stood on the sand of the ^[a]seashore.

Then I saw a ^(A)beast coming up out of the sea, having ^(B)ten horns and ^(C)seven heads, and on his horns were ^(D)ten crowns, and on his heads were ^(E)blasphemous names. ² And the beast that I saw was ^(F)like a leopard, and his feet were like those of ^(G)a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of ^(H)a lion. And the ^(I)dragon gave him his power and his ^(J)throne, and great authority. ³ I saw one of his heads as if it had been ^[b]fatally wounded, and his ^(K)fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth ^(L)was amazed and followed after the beast; ⁴ they worshiped the ^(M)dragon because he ^(N)gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “^(O)Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” ⁵ A mouth was given to him ^(P)speaking ^[c]arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for ^(Q)forty-two months was given to him. ⁶ And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, ^(R)those who dwell in heaven.

⁷ It was also given to him to ^(S)make war with the ^[d]saints and to overcome them, and authority was given to him over ^(T)every tribe, people, language, and nation. ⁸ All who ^(U)live on the earth will worship him, everyone ^(V)whose name has not been ^[e]written ^(W)since the foundation of the world in the ^(X)book of life of ^(Y)the Lamb who has been slaughtered. ^9 (Z)If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

⁸ “^(A)The beast that you saw ^(B)was, and is not, and is about to ^(C)come up out of the ^(D)abyss and ^[a](E)go to destruction. And ^(F)those who live on the earth, ^(G)whose names have not been written in the book of life ^(H)from the foundation of the world, will ^(I)wonder when they see the beast, that he was, and is not, and will ^[b]come.

¹² And I saw the dead, the ^(A)great and the small, standing before the throne, and ^[a](B)books were opened; and another ^[b]book was opened, which is ^(C)the book of life; and the dead ^(D)were judged from the things which were written in the ^[c]books, ^(E)according to their deeds.

¹⁵ And if ^[a]anyone’s name was not found written in ^(A)the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

²⁷ and ^(A)nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those ^[a]whose names are ^(B)written in the Lamb’s book of life.

³² “Therefore, ^(A)everyone who ^[a]confesses Me before people, I will also confess ^[b]him before My Father who is in heaven. ³³ But ^(B)whoever denies Me before people, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
