7 For nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8 All these things are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations because of my name.
10 Then many will be led into sin, and they will betray one another and hate one another.
11 And many false prophets will appear and deceive many,
12 and because lawlessness will increase so much, the love of many will grow cold.
13 But the person who endures to the end will be saved.
