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
