Revelation 14:6-13

New International Version

The Three Angels

⁶ Then I saw another angel flying in midair,^(A) and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth^(B)—to every nation, tribe, language and people.^{(C) 7} He said in a loud voice, “Fear God^(D) and give him glory,^(E) because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made^(F) the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”^(G)

⁸ A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’^[a](H) which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”^(I)

⁹ A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast^(J) and its image^(K) and receives its mark on their forehead^(L) or on their hand, ¹⁰ they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury,^(M) which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.^(N) They will be tormented with burning sulfur^(O) in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever.^(P) There will be no rest day or night^(Q) for those who worship the beast and its image,^(R) or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”^{(S) 12} This calls for patient endurance^(T) on the part of the people of God^(U) who keep his commands^(V) and remain faithful to Jesus.

¹³ Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord^(W) from now on.”

“Yes,” says the Spirit,^(X) “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
