Revelation 15:1-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Angels with the Seven Last Plagues
15 Then I saw another portent in heaven, great and amazing: seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is ended.(A)
2 And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mixed with fire and those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands.(B) 3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:
“Great and amazing are your deeds,
Lord God the Almighty!
Just and true are your ways,
King of the nations![a](C)
4 Lord, who will not fear
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your judgments have been revealed.”(D)

10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom;(A) 11 there will be great earthquakes and in various places famines and plagues, and there will be dreadful portents and great signs from heaven.
12 “But before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.(B) 13 This will give you an opportunity to testify.(C) 14 So make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance,(D) 15 for I will give you words[a] and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict.(E) 16 You will be betrayed even by parents and siblings, by relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death.(F) 17 You will be hated by all because of my name.(G) 18 But not a hair of your head will perish.(H) 19 By your endurance you will gain your souls.(I)
