2 Peter 2:1‑22• ¹But there were false prophets also among the people, as there shall be also among you false teachers, who shall bring in by the bye destructive heresies, and deny the master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction;
²and many shall follow their dissolute ways, through whom the way of the truth shall be blasphemed.
³And through covetousness, with well-turned words, will they make merchandise of you: for whom judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction slumbers not.
⁴For if God spared not the angels who had sinned, but having cast them down to the deepest pit of gloom has delivered them to chains of darkness to be kept for judgment;
⁵and spared not the old world, but preserved Noe, the eighth, a preacher of righteousness, having brought in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
⁶and having reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha to ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, setting them as an example to those that should afterwards live an ungodly life;
⁷and saved righteous Lot, distressed with the abandoned conversation of the godless,
⁸(for the righteous man through seeing and hearing, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul day after day with their lawless works,)
⁹the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of trial, and to keep the unjust to the day of judgment to be punished;
¹⁰and specially those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise lordship. Bold are they, self-willed; they do not fear speaking injuriously of dignities:
¹¹when angels, who are greater in might and power, do not bring against them, before the Lord, an injurious charge.
¹²But these, as natural animals without reason, made to be caught and destroyed, speaking injuriously in things they are ignorant of, shall also perish in their own corruption,
¹³receiving the reward of unrighteousness; accounting ephemeral indulgence pleasure; spots and blemishes, rioting in their own deceits, feasting with you;
¹⁴having eyes full of adultery, and that cease not from sin, alluring unestablished souls; having a heart practised in covetousness, children of curse;
¹⁵having left the straight way they have gone astray, having followed in the path of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the reward of unrighteousness;
¹⁶but had reproof of his own wickedness--the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the folly of the prophet.
¹⁷These are springs without water, and mists driven by storm, to whom the gloom of darkness is reserved for ever.
¹⁸For while speaking great highflown words of vanity, they allure with the lusts of the flesh, by dissoluteness, those who have just fled those who walk in error,
¹⁹promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a man is subdued, by him is he also brought into slavery.
²⁰For if after having escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, again entangled, they are subdued by these, their last state is worse than the first.
²¹For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
²²But that word of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog has turned back to his own vomit; and, The washed sow to her rolling in mud. (2 Peter 2:1‑22)

⁵And when it opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come and see. And I saw: and behold, a black horse, and he that sat upon it having a balance in his hand.

⁹And when it opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held;

¹²And I saw when it opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as hair sackcloth, and the whole moon became as blood,
¹³and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth, as a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, casts its unseasonable figs.
¹⁴And the heaven was removed as a book rolled up, and every mountain and island were removed out of their places.
¹⁵And the kings of the earth, and the great, and the chiliarchs, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains;
¹⁶and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and have us hidden from the face of him that sits upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;
¹⁷because the great day of his wrath is come, and who is able to stand? (Rev. 6:1‑17)

;

Rev. 22:1‑21• ¹And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
²In the midst of its street, and of the river, on this side and on that side, the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, in each month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations.
³And no curse shall be any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him,
⁴and they shall see his face; and his name is on their foreheads.
⁵And night shall not be any more, and no need of a lamp, and light of the sun; for the Lord God shall shine upon them, and they shall reign to the ages of ages.
⁶And he said to me, These words are faithful and true; and the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to shew to his bondmen the things which must soon come to pass.
⁷And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.
⁸And I, John, was he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to do homage before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things.
⁹And he says to me, See thou do it not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and the fellow-bondman of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Do homage to God.
¹⁰And he says to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book. The time is near.
¹¹Let him that does unrighteously do unrighteously still; and let the filthy make himself filthy still; and let him that is righteous practise righteousness still; and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.
¹²Behold, I come quickly, and my reward with me, to render to every one as his work shall be.
¹³*I* am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
¹⁴Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they should go in by the gates into the city.
¹⁵Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loves and makes a lie.
¹⁶*I* Jesus have sent mine angel to testify these things to you in the assemblies. *I* am the root and offspring of David, the bright and morning star.
¹⁷And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come; he that will, let him take the water of life freely.
¹⁸*I* testify to every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any one shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book.

But when *he* is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announcef to you what is coming.

JND Translation Notes

+

f

The Greek has the sense of "reporting," "bringing back a report." Here I conceive because it is a message brought from another.

W. Kelly Translation

WK Translation Notes

a

Or, "into."

b

The reader must guard against the error, easily suggested, as if the sense meant were that the Spirit shall not speak about Himself.

c

T. R. reads "he may hear."
