Mark 13:18-20

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁸ and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter,

¹⁹ for those days shall be tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, till now, and may not be;

²⁰ and if the Lord did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He did choose to Himself, He did shorten the days.
