When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith?
I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" 1
He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 2
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 3
preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 4
"But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. 5
Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them. 6
waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 7
