³¹ On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.

⁵ And as for you, are you looking for great things for yourself? Have no desire for them: for truly I will send evil on all flesh, says the Lord: but your life I will keep safe from attack wherever you go.

¹⁴ But when you see the unclean thing which makes destruction, in the place where it has no right to be (let this be clear to the reader), then let those who are in Judaea go quickly to the mountains:

¹⁵ And let him who is on the house-top not go down, or go in, to take anything out of his house:

¹⁶ And let not him who is in the field go back to take his coat.

⁴ And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Skin for skin, all a man has he will give for his life.

²⁵ So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing?

²⁶ For what profit has a man, if he gets all the world with the loss of his life? or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

¹⁷ Let not him who is on the house-top go down to take anything out of his house:

¹⁸ And let not him who is in the field go back to get his coat.

¹⁹ But it will be hard for women who are with child and for those with babies at the breast in those days.

²⁰ And say a prayer that your flight may not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.

²¹ Because in those days there will be great sorrow, such as there has not been from the start of the world till now, or ever will be.

²¹ Then let those who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains; and those who are in the middle of the town go out; and let not those who are in the country come in.

⁷ But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.

⁸ Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,
