6. For you will hear of battles and rumors of battles. Take care not to be disturbed. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.
7. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places.
8. But all these things are just the beginning of the sorrows.
9. Then they will hand you over to tribulation, and they will kill you. And you will be hated by all nations for the sake of my name.
10. And then many will be led into sin, and will betray one another, and will have hatred for one another.
11. And many false prophets will arise, and they will lead many astray.
12. And because iniquity has abounded, the charity of many will grow cold.
13. But whoever will have persevered until the end, the same shall be saved.
14. And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached throughout the entire world, as a testimony to all nations. And then the consummation will occur.
15. Therefore, when you will have seen the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place, may he who reads understand,
16. then those who are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains.
17. And whoever is on the roof, let him not descend to take anything from his house.
18. And whoever is in the field, let him not turn back to take his tunic.
19. So then, woe to those who are pregnant or nursing in those days.
20. But pray that your flight may not be in winter, or on the Sabbath.
21. For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until the present, and such as will not be.
22. And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days shall be shortened.
