²⁶ For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.

⁵ For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

²² Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.

³ And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

²⁰ He who gives witness to these things says, Truly, I come quickly. Even so come, Lord Jesus.

¹¹ And I saw a great white seat, and him who was seated on it, before whose face the earth and the heaven went in flight; and there was no place for them.

¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, taking their places before the high seat; and the books were open, and another book was open, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by the things which were in the books, even by their works.

⁷ See, he comes with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those by whom he was wounded; and all the tribes of the earth will be sorrowing because of him. Yes, so be it.

¹⁴ The prophet Enoch, who was the seventh after Adam, said of these men, The Lord came with tens of thousands of his saints,

²⁸ And now, my children, keep your hearts in him; so that at his revelation, we may have no fear or shame before him at his coming.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; and in that day the heavens will be rolled up with a great noise, and the substance of the earth will be changed by violent heat, and the world and everything in it will be burned up.

²⁸ So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

² That you may not be moved in mind or troubled by a spirit, or by a word, or by a letter as from us, with the suggestion that the day of the Lord is even now come;

³ Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction,

¹⁰ At his coming, when he will have glory in his saints, and will be a cause of wonder in all those who had faith (because our witness among you had effect) in that day.

¹⁶ Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first;

²³ But every man in his right order: Christ the first-fruits; then those who are Christ's at his coming.

¹¹ And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
