⁹ Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone ^(A)worships the beast and his ^(B)image, and receives a ^(C)mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ and he also will drink of the ^(D)wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed ^[a]in full strength ^(E)in the cup of His rage, and he will be tormented with ^(F)fire and ^[b]brimstone in the presence of the ^(G)holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. ¹¹ And the ^(H)smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; ^(I)they have no rest day and night, those who ^(J)worship the beast and his ^(K)image, and ^[c]whoever receives the ^(L)mark of his name.” ¹² Here is ^(M)the perseverance of the saints who ^(N)keep the commandments of God and ^[d](O)their faith in Jesus.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Write, ‘^(P)Blessed are the dead who ^(Q)die in the Lord from now on!’” “Yes,” ^(R)says the Spirit, “so that they may ^(S)rest from their labors, for their ^(T)deeds follow with them.”
