17
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord
Jesus Christ;
18
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk
after their own ungodly lusts.
19
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the
Spirit.
20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy
Ghost,
21
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto
eternal life.
22
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23
And others save with fear,
pulling
them
out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present
you
faultless before the
presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25
To the only wise God our Saviour,
be
glory and majesty,
dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
The Revelation
of St. John the Divine
CHAPTER 1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which
must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified
it
by his angel unto his servant John:
2
Who
bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3

is
he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things
which are written therein: for the time
is

4
John to the seven churches which are in Asia:
Grace
be
unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from
the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5
And from Jesus Christ,
who is
the faithful witness,
and
the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and
his Father; to him
be
glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
7
Behold, he cometh with clouds;
and every eye shall see him, and they
also
which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall
wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending,
saith
the Lord,
which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9
I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and
patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the
testimony of Jesus Christ.
10
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great
voice, as of a trumpet,
11
Saying,
I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou
seest, write in a book, and send
it
unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and
unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and
unto Laodicea.
12
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven
