9Then athey will deliver you up bto tribulation and cput you to death, and dyou will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10And then many will fall away
Or stumble
and fbetray one another and hate one another.
11And many gfalse prophets will arise hand lead many astray. 12And because lawlessness will be increased, ithe love of many will grow cold. 13 jBut the one who endures to the end will be saved.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3

The Day of the Lord

1Now concerning othe times and the seasons, brothers,
Or  brothers and sisters; also verses 4, 12, 14, 25, 26, 27
qyou have no need to have anything written to you.
2For you yourselves are fully aware that rthe day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then ssudden destruction will come upon them tas labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Hebrews 10:23-26

23 uLet us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for vhe who promised is faithful. 24And wlet us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 xnot neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and yall the more as you see zthe Day drawing near.

26For aaif we go on sinning deliberately abafter receiving the knowledge of the truth, acthere no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

James 5:1-8

Warning to the Rich

1Come now, adyou rich, weep and howl for the aemiseries that are coming upon you. 2 afYour riches have rotted and agyour garments are moth-eaten. 3Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. ahYou have laid up treasure aiin the last days. 4Behold, ajthe wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and akthe cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of althe Lord of hosts. 5 amYou have lived on the earth in luxury and anin self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in aoa day of slaughter. 6You have condemned and apmurdered aqthe righteous person. He does not resist you.

Patience in Suffering

7Be patient, therefore, brothers,
Or  brothers and sisters; also verses 9, 10, 12, 19
until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives asthe early and the late rains.
8You also, be patient. atEstablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord auis at hand.
