²⁶ and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations,

²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron -- as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken -- as I also have received from my Father;

² have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments?

³ have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life?

¹⁶ for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.'

¹⁷ And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, `Take this and divide to yourselves,

³⁷ `Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to them;

¹⁴ As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form `is' for consumption. Sheol `is' a dwelling for him.
