Before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, I solemnly charge you to carry out these commands without prejudice or favoritism of any kind.<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">But to which of the angels<n id="1" /> has he ever said, &#8220;<b><i>Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feeti>b>&#8221;?<n id="2" />

<p class="otpoetry"><i><b>You made him lower than the angels for a little whileb>.i>p> <p class="otpoetry"><i><b>You crowned him with glory and honorb>.i><n id="1" />p>

<p class="bodytext">For if God did not spare the angels who sinned,<n id="1" /> but threw them into hell<n id="2" /> and locked them up<n id="3" /> in chains<n id="4" /> in utter darkness,<n id="5" /> to be kept until the judgment,

You also know that<n id="1" /> the angels who did not keep within their proper domain<n id="2" /> but abandoned their own place of residence, he has kept<n id="3" /> in eternal chains<n id="4" /> in utter<n id="5" /> darkness, locked up<n id="6" /> for the judgment of the great Day.

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;To<n id="1" /> the angel of the church in Smyrna write the following:<n id="2" />p> <p class="bodytext">&#8220;This is the solemn pronouncement of<n id="3" /> the one who is the first and the last, the one who was dead, but<n id="4" /> came to life:

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;To<n id="1" /> the angel of the church in Pergamum write the following:<n id="2" />p> <p class="bodytext">&#8220;This is the solemn pronouncement of<n id="3" /> the one who has the sharp double-edged sword:<n id="4" />

And I saw a powerful angel proclaiming in a loud voice: &#8220;Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain of burning fire was thrown into the sea. A<n id="2" /> third of the sea became blood,

They have as king over them the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is <i>Abaddoni>, and in Greek, <i>Apollyoni>.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a single voice coming from the<n id="2" /> horns on the golden altar that is before God,

Then<n id="1" /> the four angels who had been prepared for this<n id="2" /> hour, day,<n id="3" /> month, and year were set free to kill<n id="4" /> a third of humanity.

Then<n id="1" /> the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven

Now<n id="1" /> I heard the angel of the waters saying:p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;You are just<n id="2" /> &#8211; the one who is and who was,p> <p class="poetry">the Holy One &#8211; because you have passed these judgments,<n id="3" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">After these things I saw another angel, who possessed great authority, coming down out of heaven, and the earth was lit up by his radiance.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding<n id="2" /> in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain.

and said to him, &#8220;If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written, &#8216;<b><i>He will command his angels concerning youi>b>&#8217;<n id="1" /> and &#8216;<b><i>with their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stonei>b>.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="2" />

This is the one about whom it is written:p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8216;<b><i>Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,i>b><n id="1" />p> <p class="otpoetry"><i><b>who will prepare your way before youb>.i>&#8217;<n id="2" />p>

For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then <i>he will reward each person according to what he has donei>.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;See that you do not disdain one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
