Thus no one was allowed to buy<n id="1" /> or sell things<n id="2" /> unless he bore<n id="3" /> the mark of the beast &#8211; that is, his name or his number.<n id="4" />

<p class="poetry">Who will not fear you, O Lord,p> <p class="poetry">and glorify<n id="1" /> your name, because you alone are holy?<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">All nations<n id="3" /> will come and worship before youp> <p class="poetry">for your righteous acts<n id="4" /> have been revealed.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">I testify to the one who hears the words of the prophecy contained in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described<n id="1" /> in this book.

Which of the two did his father&#8217;s will?&#8221; They said, &#8220;The first.&#8221;<n id="1" /> Jesus said to them, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="2" /> tax collectors<n id="3" /> and prostitutes will go ahead of you into the kingdom of God!

When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue.<n id="1" /> Many who heard him were astonished, saying, &#8220;Where did he get these ideas?<n id="2" /> And what is this wisdom that has been given to him? What are these miracles that are done through his hands?

&#8220;If anyone comes to me and does not hate<n id="1" /> his own father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, and even his own life,<n id="2" /> he cannot be my disciple.

<p class="bodytext">Jesus answered<n id="1" /> her, &#8220;If you had known<n id="2" /> the gift of God and who it is who said to you, &#8216;Give me some water<n id="3" /> to drink,&#8217; you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.&#8221;<n id="4" />

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread<n id="1" /> that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Then the crowd responded,<n id="1" /> &#8220;We have heard from the law that <i>the Christi><n id="2" /> <i>will remain foreveri>.<n id="3" /> How<n id="4" /> can you say, &#8216;The Son of Man must be lifted up&#8217;? Who is this Son of Man?&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Now as for you, the anointing<n id="1" /> that you received from him<n id="2" /> resides<n id="3" /> in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as his<n id="4" /> anointing teaches you about all things, it is true and is not a lie. Just as<n id="5" /> it<n id="6" /> has taught you, you reside<n id="7" /> in him.p>

<p class="bodytext">If anyone says<n id="1" /> &#8220;I love God&#8221; and yet<n id="2" /> hates his fellow Christian,<n id="3" /> he is a liar, because the one who does not love his fellow Christian<n id="4" /> whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.<n id="5" />

And the smoke from their<n id="1" /> torture will go up<n id="2" /> forever and ever, and those who worship the beast and his image will have<n id="3" /> no rest day or night, along with<n id="4" /> anyone who receives the mark of his name.&#8221;

And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life<n id="1" /> and in the holy city that are described in this book.p>
