Matthew 24:9-14
New English Translation
Persecution of Disciples
9 “Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations[a] because of my name.[b] 10 Then many will be led into sin,[c] and they will betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will appear and deceive[d] many, 12 and because lawlessness will increase so much, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the person who endures to the end will be saved.[e] 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole inhabited earth as a testimony to all the nations,[f] and then the end will come.
