16:1 {Be watchful} for your life; 16:2 {let your lamps not be quenched and your loins not ungirded, but be ye ready; 16:3 for ye know not the hour in which our Lord cometh.} 16:4 And ye shall gather yourselves together frequently, seeking what is fitting for your souls; 16:5 for the whole time of your faith shall not profit you, if ye be not perfected at the last season. 16:6 For in the last days {the false prophets} and corrupters shall be multiplied, and the sheep shall be turned into wolves, and love shall be turned into hate. 16:7 For as lawlessness increaseth, {they shall hate one another and shall persecute and betray. 16:8 And then} the world-deceiver {shall appear} as a son of God; 16:9 {and shall work signs and wonders,} and the earth shall be delivered into his hands; 16:10 and he shall do unholy things, which have never been since the world began.
16:11 Then all created mankind shall come to the fire of testing, and many shall be offended and perish; 16:12 {but they that endure} in their faith {shall be saved} by the Curse Himself. 16:13 {And then shall the signs} of the truth {appear;} 16:14 first a sign of a rift in the heaven, then a sign of a voice of a trumpet, and thirdly a resurrection of the dead; 16:15 yet not of all, but as it was said: 16:16 {The Lord shall come and all His saints with Him. 16:17 Then shall} the world {see the Lord coming upon the clouds of heaven.}
