7 Nation will fight against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8 All of these are only the beginning pains ⌊of the end⌋.
9 “Then they will hand you over to those who will torture and kill you. All nations will hate you because you are committed to me.
10 Then many will lose faith. They will betray and hate each other.
11 Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
12 And because there will be more and more lawlessness, most people’s love will grow cold.
13 But the person who endures to the end will be saved.
