9 (NIV) ÒThen you will be
handed over to be persecuted and put to death,
and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10
At that time many will turn away from the faith and
will betray and hate each other, 11 and many
false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but he who stands firm
to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom
will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to
all nations, and then the end will come.Ó
