7 13:17Obey your guides and be in subjection; for they watch for your souls as having to give an account, that they may do this with joy and not with grief; for this is unprofitable for you.
8 13:18Pray for us; for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things wishing to live well. 13:19And I exhort you do this the more, that I may sooner be restored to you.
9 13:20And may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of the eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus, 13:21perfect you in every good work to do his will, doing in you that which is pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever; amen.
10 13:22And I beseech you, brothers, suffer the word of exhortation; for I have sent to you a letter in a few words. 13:23Know that brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you. 13:24Salute all your guides and all the saints. Those from Italy salute you. 13:25The grace be with you all; amen.

CHAPTER I.
INTRODUCTION, A VISION OF CHRIST
1 1:1A REVELATION of Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his servants [things] which must shortly occur, and he sent and made them known by his angel to his servant John, 1:2who declared the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ which he saw. 1:3Blessed is he that reads, and those that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time is at hand.
