¹⁸ Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.

⁶ For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish.

¹⁷ But Yahweh's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, His righteousness to children's children;

²⁴ You will guide me with your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.

⁷ I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, For you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.

¹ But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come.

² For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

³ without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

⁴ traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

⁵ holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also.

² preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.

³ For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;

⁴ and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.

⁴ to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn't fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

⁵ who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

²⁵ This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

³ I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

⁴ These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth.

⁵ If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.

¹⁹ However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord{TR reads "Christ" instead of "the Lord"} depart from unrighteousness."

²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²¹ that as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹¹ You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

⁴ He asked life of you, you gave it to him, Even length of days forever and ever.

¹⁵ My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

¹³ The Lord will laugh at him, For he sees that his day is coming.

⁵ Why should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

²¹ Your people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

³² For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

²¹ for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.

²² Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.

²³ "Then if any man tells you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' don't believe it.

²⁴ For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

²⁵ Your bars shall be iron and brass; As your days, so shall your strength be.
