Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁶ And I saw an angel fly in the midst of heaven, having an everlasting gospel to preach to those who sit and dwell on the earth, and to all nations, kindreds, and tongues, and people, ⁷ saying with a loud voice, Fear God and give honour to him, for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the springs of water.

⁸ And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city. For she made all nations drink of the wine of her fornication.

⁹ And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any one worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark in his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured in the cup of his wrath. And he will be punished in fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascends up evermore. And they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the print of his name. ¹² Here is the patience of the saints. Here are they that keep the commandments and the faith of Jesus.

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write: Blessed are the dead who die hereafter in the Lord, as the Spirit affirms, that they may rest from their labours; but their works shall follow them.
