10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a great warfare: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

10:2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.

10:3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.

10:4 In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,

10:5 I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, whose thighs were adorned with pure gold of Uphaz:

10:6 his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

10:7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision; but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.

10:8 So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

10:9 Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.

10:10 Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.

10:11 He said to me, Daniel, you man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for am I now sent to you. When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.

10:12 Then he said to me, Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard: and I have come for your words’ sake.

10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

10:14 Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days:

10:15 and when he had spoken to me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was mute.

10:16 Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, my lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows are turned on me, and I retain no strength.

10:17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me.

10:18 Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.

10:19 He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid: peace be to you, be strong, yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.”

10:20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, behold, the prince of Greece shall come.

10:21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none who holds with me against these, but Michael your prince.”

9:11 For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.

9:12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.

9:13 The foolish woman is loud, Undisciplined, and knows nothing.

9:14 She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

9:15 To call to those who pass by, who go straight on their ways,

9:16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.” as for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,

9:17 “Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant.”

9:18 But he doesn’t know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

2:12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

2:13 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.

2:14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

2:15 Don’t love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.

2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

2:17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

2:18 Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.

2:19 They went out from us, but they didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.

2:20 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.

2:21 I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

2:22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

2:23 Whoever denies the Son, the same doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

2:24 Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

2:25 This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

2:26 These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.

2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.
