Timothy, you belong to God, so keep away from all these evil things. Try your best to please God and to be like him. Be faithful, loving, dependable, and gentle.


book: 1Tim
contenido:
Fight a good fight for the faith and claim eternal life. God offered it to you when you clearly told about your faith, while so many people listened.


book: 1Tim
contenido:
Now I ask you to make a promise. Make it in the presence of God, who gives life to all, and in the presence of Christ Jesus, who openly told Pontius Pilate about his faith.


book: 1Tim
contenido:
Promise to obey completely and fully all that you have been told until our Lord Jesus Christ returns.


book: 1Tim
contenido:
The glorious God is the only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords. At the time that God has already decided, he will send Jesus Christ back again.


book: 1Tim
contenido:
Only God lives forever! And he lives in light that no one can come near. No human has ever seen God or ever can see him. God will be honored, and his power will last forever. Amen.


book: 1Tim
contenido:
Warn the rich people of this world not to be proud or to trust in wealth that is easily lost. Tell them to have faith in God, who is rich and blesses us with everything we need to enjoy life.


book: 1Tim
contenido:
Instruct them to do as many good deeds as they can and to help everyone. Remind the rich to be generous and share what they have.


book: 1Tim
contenido:
Timothy, guard what God has placed in your care! Don't pay any attention to godless and stupid talk that sounds smart but really isn't.


book: 1Tim
contenido:
Some people have even lost their faith by believing this talk. I pray that the Lord will be kind to all of you!


book: 2Tim
contenido:
From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus. God himself chose me to be an apostle, and he gave me the promised life that Jesus Christ makes possible.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Timothy, you are like a dear child to me. I pray that God our Father and our Lord Christ Jesus will be kind and merciful to you and will bless you with peace!


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Night and day I mention you in my prayers. I am always grateful for you, as I pray to the God my ancestors and I have served with a clear conscience.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
I also remember the genuine faith of your mother Eunice. Your grandmother Lois had the same sort of faith, and I am sure you have it as well.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Don't be ashamed to speak for our Lord. And don't be ashamed of me, just because I am in jail for serving him. Use the power that comes from God and join with me in suffering for telling the good news.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
God saved us and chose us to be his holy people. We did nothing to deserve this, but God planned it because he is so kind. Even before time began God planned for Christ Jesus to show kindness to us.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Now Christ Jesus has come to offer us God's gift of undeserved grace. Christ our Savior defeated death and brought us the good news. It shines like a light and offers life that never ends.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
This is why I am suffering now. But I am not ashamed! I know the one I have faith in, and I am sure he can guard until the last day what he has trusted me with.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Now follow the example of the correct teaching I gave you, and let the faith and love of Christ Jesus be your model.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
You have been trusted with a wonderful treasure. Guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit, who lives within us.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
I pray that the Lord will be kind to the family of Onesiphorus. He often cheered me up and wasn't ashamed of me when I was put in jail.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
I pray that the Lord Jesus will ask God to show mercy to Onesiphorus on the day of judgment. You know how much he helped me in Ephesus.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
You have often heard me teach. Now I want you to tell these same things to followers who can be trusted to tell others.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Keep your mind on Jesus Christ! He was from the family of David and was raised from death, just as my good news says.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
And because of this message, I am locked up in jail and treated like a criminal. But God's good news isn't locked in jail,


book: 2Tim
contenido:
and so I am willing to put up with anything. Then God's special people will be saved and given eternal glory because they belong to Christ Jesus.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
If we don't give up, we will rule with him. If we deny that we know him, he will deny that he knows us.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Don't let anyone forget these things. And with God as your witness, you must warn them not to argue about words. These arguments don't help anyone. In fact, they ruin everyone who listens to them.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Do your best to win God's approval as a worker who doesn't need to be ashamed and who teaches only the true message.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
That sort of talk is like a sore that won't heal. And Hymenaeus and Philetus have been talking this way


book: 2Tim
contenido:
by teaching that the dead have already been raised to life. This is far from the truth, and it is destroying the faith of some people.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
But the foundation God has laid is solid. On it is written, “The Lord knows who his people are. So everyone who worships the Lord must turn away from evil.”


book: 2Tim
contenido:
In a large house some dishes are made of gold or silver, while others are made of wood or clay. Some of these are special, and others are not.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
This is also how it is with people. The ones who stop doing evil and make themselves pure will become special. Their lives will be holy and pleasing to their Master, and they will be able to do all kinds of good deeds.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Run from temptations that capture young people. Always do the right thing. Be faithful, loving, and easy to get along with. Worship with people whose hearts are pure.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
and God's servants must not be troublemakers. They must be kind to everyone, and they must be good teachers and very patient.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Be humble when you correct people who oppose you. Maybe God will lead them to turn to him and learn the truth.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
People will love only themselves and money. They will be proud, stuck-up, rude, and disobedient to their parents. They will also be ungrateful, godless,


book: 2Tim
contenido:
heartless, and hateful. Their words will be cruel, and they will have no self-control or pity. These people will hate everything good.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
They will be sneaky, reckless, and puffed up with pride. Instead of loving God, they will love pleasure.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Even though they will make a show of being religious, their religion won't be real. Don't have anything to do with such people.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Some men fool whole families, just to get power over those women who are slaves of sin and are controlled by all sorts of desires.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, these people are enemies of the truth. Their minds are sick, and their faith isn't real.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
But they won't get very far with their foolishness. Soon everyone will know the truth about them, just as Jannes and Jambres were found out.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Timothy, you know what I teach and how I live. You know what I want to do and what I believe. You have seen how patient and loving I am, and how in the past I put up with


book: 2Tim
contenido:
trouble and suffering in the cities of Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. Yet the Lord rescued me from all those terrible troubles.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
But evil people who pretend to be what they are not will become worse than ever, as they fool others and are fooled themselves.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Keep on being faithful to what you were taught and to what you believed. After all, you know who taught you these things.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Since childhood, you have known the Holy Scriptures that are able to make you wise enough to have faith in Christ Jesus and be saved.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Everything in the Scriptures is God's Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
When Christ Jesus comes as king, he will be the judge of everyone, whether they are living or dead. So with God and Christ as witnesses, I command you


book: 2Tim
contenido:
to preach God's message. Do it willingly, even if it isn't the popular thing to do. You must correct people and point out their sins. But also cheer them up, and when you instruct them, always be patient.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
The time is coming when people won't listen to good teaching. Instead, they will look for teachers who will please them by telling them only what they are itching to hear.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
But you must stay calm and be willing to suffer. You must work hard, telling the good news and to do your job well.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Now the time has come for me to die. My life is like a drink offering being poured out on the altar.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
So a crown will be given to me for pleasing the Lord. He judges fairly, and on the day of judgment he will give a crown to me and to everyone else who wants him to appear with power.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Demas loves the things of this world so much that he left me and went to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus has gone to Dalmatia.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Only Luke has stayed with me. Mark can be very helpful to me, so please find him and bring him with you.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
When you come, bring the coat I left at Troas with Carpus. Don't forget to bring the scrolls, especially the ones made of leather.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Alexander, the metalworker, has hurt me in many ways. But the Lord will pay him back for what he has done.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
When I was first put on trial, no one helped me. In fact, everyone deserted me. I hope it won't be held against them.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
But the Lord stood beside me. He gave me the strength to tell his full message, so that all Gentiles would hear it. And I was kept safe from hungry lions.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
The Lord will always keep me from being harmed by evil, and he will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. Praise him forever and ever! Amen.


book: 2Tim
contenido:
Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, and Claudia send you their greetings, and so do the rest of the Lord's followers.


book: Titus
contenido:
From Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I encourage God's own people to have more faith and to understand the truth about religion.


book: Titus
contenido:
Titus, because of our faith, you are like a son to me. I pray that God our Father and Christ Jesus our Savior will be kind to you and will bless you with peace!


book: Titus
contenido:
I left you in Crete to do what had been left undone and to appoint leaders for the churches in each town. As I told you,


book: Titus
contenido:
they must have a good reputation and be faithful in marriage. Their children must be followers of the Lord and not have a reputation for being wild and disobedient.


book: Titus
contenido:
Church officials are in charge of God's work, and so they must also have a good reputation. They must not be bossy, quick-tempered, heavy drinkers, bullies, or dishonest in business.


book: Titus
contenido:
Instead, they must be friendly to strangers and enjoy doing good things. They must also be sensible, fair, pure, and self-controlled.


book: Titus
contenido:
They must stick to the true message they were taught, so their good teaching can help others and correct everyone who opposes it.


book: Titus
contenido:
There are many who don't respect authority, and they fool others by talking nonsense. This is especially true of some Jewish followers.


book: Titus
contenido:
But you must make them be quiet. They are after money, and they upset whole families by teaching what they should not.


book: Titus
contenido:
It is like one of their own prophets once said, “The people of Crete always tell lies. They are greedy and lazy like wild animals.”


book: Titus
contenido:
This surely is a true saying. And you should be hard on such people, so you can help them grow stronger in their faith.


book: Titus
contenido:
Don't pay any attention to any of those senseless Jewish stories and human commands. These are made up by people who won't obey the truth.


book: Titus
contenido:
Everything is pure for someone whose heart is pure. But nothing is pure for an unbeliever with a dirty mind. That person's mind and conscience are destroyed.


book: Titus
contenido:
Such people claim to know God, but their actions prove they really don't. They are disgusting. They won't obey God, and they are too worthless to do anything good.


book: Titus
contenido:
Tell the older men to have self-control and to be serious and sensible. Their faith, love, and patience must never fail.


book: Titus
contenido:
Tell the older women to behave as those who love the Lord should. They must not gossip about others or be slaves of wine. They must teach what is proper,


book: Titus
contenido:
Each of the younger women must be sensible and kind, as well as a good homemaker, who puts her own husband first. Then no one can say insulting things about God's message.


book: Titus
contenido:
Use clean language that no one can criticize. Do this, and your enemies will be too ashamed to say anything against you.


book: Titus
contenido:
Tell slaves always to please their owners by obeying them in everything. Slaves must not talk back to their owners


book: Titus
contenido:
or steal from them. They must be completely honest and trustworthy. Then everyone will show great respect for what is taught about God our Savior.


book: Titus
contenido:
He taught us to give up our wicked ways and our worldly desires and to live decent and honest lives in this world.


book: Titus
contenido:
We are filled with hope, as we wait for the glorious return of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.


book: Titus
contenido:
He gave himself to rescue us from everything evil and to make our hearts pure. He wanted us to be his own people and to be eager to do right.


book: Titus
contenido:
Teach these things, as you use your full authority to encourage and correct people. Make sure you earn everyone's respect.


book: Titus
contenido:
Remind your people to obey the rulers and authorities and not to be rebellious. They must always be ready to do something helpful


book: Titus
contenido:
We used to be stupid, disobedient, and foolish, as well as slaves of all sorts of desires and pleasures. We were evil and jealous. Everyone hated us, and we hated everyone.


book: Titus
contenido:
He saved us because of his mercy, and not because of any good things we have done. God washed us by the power of the Holy Spirit. He gave us new birth and a fresh beginning.


book: Titus
contenido:
Jesus treated us much better than we deserve. He made us acceptable to God and gave us the hope of eternal life.


book: Titus
contenido:
This message is certainly true. These teachings are useful and helpful for everyone. I want you to insist that the people follow them, so that all who have faith in God will be sure to do good deeds.


book: Titus
contenido:
But don't have anything to do with stupid arguments about ancestors. And stay away from disagreements and quarrels about the Law of Moses. Such arguments are useless and senseless.


book: Titus
contenido:
I plan to send Artemas or Tychicus to you. After he arrives, please try your best to meet me at Nicopolis. I have decided to spend the winter there.


book: Titus
contenido:
When Zenas the lawyer and Apollos get ready to leave, help them as much as you can, so they won't have need of anything.


book: Titus
contenido:
Greetings to you from everyone here. Greet all of our friends who share in our faith. I pray that the Lord will be kind to all of you!


book: Phlm
contenido:
From Paul, who is in jail for serving Christ Jesus, and from Timothy, who is like a brother because of our faith. Philemon, you work with us and are very dear to us. This letter is to you


book: Phlm
contenido:
and to the church that meets in your home. It is also to our dear friend Apphia and to Archippus, who serves the Lord as we do.


book: Phlm
contenido:
As you share your faith with others, I pray they may come to know all the blessings Christ has given us.


book: Phlm
contenido:
My friend, your love has made me happy and has greatly encouraged me. It has also cheered the hearts of God's people.


book: Phlm
contenido:
I would like to keep him here with me, where he could take your place in helping me while I am here in prison for preaching the good news.


book: Phlm
contenido:
But I won't do anything unless you agree to it first. I want your act of kindness to come from your heart, and not be something you feel forced to do.


book: Phlm
contenido:
but not as a slave. Onesimus is much more than a slave. To me he is a dear friend, but to you he is even more, both as a person and as a follower of the Lord.


book: Heb
contenido:
But now at last, God sent his Son to bring his message to us. God created the universe by his Son, and everything will someday belong to the Son.


book: Heb
contenido:
God's Son has all the brightness of God's own glory and is like him in every way. By his own mighty word, he holds the universe together. After the Son had washed away our sins, he sat down at the right side of the glorious God in heaven.


book: Heb
contenido:
He had become much greater than the angels, and the name he was given is far greater than any of theirs.


book: Heb
contenido:
God has never said to any of the angels, “You are my Son, because today I have become your Father!” Neither has God said to any of them, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son!”


book: Heb
contenido:
And when God speaks about the angels, he says, “I change my angels into wind and my servants into flaming fire.”


book: Heb
contenido:
But God says about his Son, “You are God, and you will rule as King forever! Your royal power brings about justice.


book: Heb
contenido:
You loved justice and hated evil, and so I, your God, have chosen you. I appointed you and made you happier than any of your friends.”


book: Heb
contenido:
The Scriptures also say, “In the beginning, Lord, you were the one who laid the foundation of the earth and created the heavens.


book: Heb
contenido:
You will roll them up like a robe and change them like a garment. But you are always the same, and you will live forever.”


book: Heb
contenido:
God never said to any of the angels, “Sit at my right side until I make your enemies into a footstool for you!”


book: Heb
contenido:
The message spoken by angels proved to be true, and all who disobeyed or rejected it were punished as they deserved.


book: Heb
contenido:
So if we refuse this great way of being saved, how can we hope to escape? The Lord himself was the first to tell about it, and people who heard the message proved to us that it was true.


book: Heb
contenido:
God himself showed that his message was true by working all kinds of powerful miracles and wonders. He also gave his Holy Spirit to anyone he chose to.


book: Heb
contenido:
Somewhere in the Scriptures someone says to God, “What makes you care about us humans? Why are you concerned for weaklings such as we?


book: Heb
contenido:
And you have put everything under our power!” God has put everything under our power and has not left anything out of our power. But we still don't see it all under our control.


book: Heb
contenido:
What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels. Because of God's gift of undeserved grace, Jesus died for everyone. And now that Jesus has suffered and died, he is crowned with glory and honor!


book: Heb
contenido:
Everything belongs to God, and all things were created by his power. So God did the right thing when he made Jesus perfect by suffering, as Jesus led many of God's children to be saved and to share in his glory.


book: Heb
contenido:
Jesus and the people he makes holy all belong to the same family. This is why he isn't ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.


book: Heb
contenido:
He even said to God, “I will tell them your name and sing your praises when they come together to worship.”


book: Heb
contenido:
We are people of flesh and blood. This is why Jesus became one of us. He died to destroy the devil, who had power over death.


book: Heb
contenido:
He had to be one of us, so he could serve God as our merciful and faithful high priest and sacrifice himself for the forgiveness of our sins.


book: Heb
contenido:
My friends, God has chosen you to be his holy people. So think about Jesus, the one we call our apostle and high priest!


book: Heb
contenido:
Jesus was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in serving all God's people.


book: Heb
contenido:
But Jesus deserves more honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves more honor than the house.


book: Heb
contenido:
But Christ is the Son in charge of God's people. And we are those people, if we keep on being brave and don't lose hope.


book: Heb
contenido:
“Then God got tired of them and said, ‘You people never show good sense, and you don't understand what I want you to do.’


book: Heb
contenido:
You must encourage one another each day. And you must keep on while there is still a time that can be called “today.” If you don't, then sin may fool some of you and make you stubborn.


book: Heb
contenido:
We were sure about Christ when we first became his people. So let's hold tightly to our faith until the end.


book: Heb
contenido:
Who were those people that heard God's voice and rebelled? Weren't they the same ones that came out of Egypt with Moses?


book: Heb
contenido:
Who were the people that made God angry for 40 years? Weren't they the ones that sinned and died in the desert?


book: Heb
contenido:
The promise to enter the place of rest is still good, and we must take care that none of you miss out.


book: Heb
contenido:
We have heard the message, just as they did. But they failed to believe what they heard, and the message did not do them any good.


book: Heb
contenido:
Only people who have faith will enter the place of rest. It is just as the Scriptures say, “God became angry and told the people, ‘You will never enter my place of rest!’ ” God said this, even though everything has been ready from the time of creation.


book: Heb
contenido:
In fact, somewhere the Scriptures say that by the seventh day, God had finished his work, and so he rested.


book: Heb
contenido:
This means that the promise to enter is still good, because those who first heard about it disobeyed and did not enter.


book: Heb
contenido:
Much later God told David to make the promise again, just as I have already said, “If you hear his voice today, don't be stubborn!”


book: Heb
contenido:
If Joshua had really given the people rest, there would not be any need for God to talk about another day of rest.


book: Heb
contenido:
We should do our best to enter the place of rest, so none of us will disobey and miss going there, as they did.


book: Heb
contenido:
God's word is alive and powerful! It is sharper than any double-edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and through our joints and marrow, until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts.


book: Heb
contenido:
We have a great high priest, who has gone into heaven, and he is Jesus the Son of God. This is why we must hold on to what we have said about him.


book: Heb
contenido:
Jesus understands every weakness of ours, because he was tempted in every way that we are. But he did not sin!


book: Heb
contenido:
So whenever we are in need, we should come bravely before the throne of our merciful God. There we will be treated with undeserved grace, and we will find help.


book: Heb
contenido:
Every high priest is appointed to help others by offering gifts and sacrifices to God because of their sins.


book: Heb
contenido:
But no one can have the honor of being a high priest simply by wanting to be one. Only God can choose a priest, and God is the one who chose Aaron.


book: Heb
contenido:
This is how it was with Christ. He became a high priest, but not just because he wanted the honor of being one. It was God who told him, “You are my Son, because today I have become your Father!”


book: Heb
contenido:
God had the power to save Jesus from death. And while Jesus was on earth, he begged God with loud crying and tears to save him. He truly worshiped God, and God listened to his prayers.


book: Heb
contenido:
Jesus is God's own Son, but still he had to suffer before he could learn what it really means to obey God.


book: Heb
contenido:
Much more could be said about this subject. But it is hard to explain, and all of you are slow to understand.


book: Heb
contenido:
By now you should have been teachers, but once again you need to be taught the simplest things about what God has said. You need milk instead of solid food.


book: Heb
contenido:
We must try to become mature and start thinking about more than just the basic things we were taught about Christ. We shouldn't need to keep talking about why we ought to turn from deeds that bring death and why we ought to have faith in God.


book: Heb
contenido:
And we shouldn't need to keep teaching about baptisms or about the laying on of hands or about people being raised from death and the future judgment.


book: Heb
contenido:
But what about people who turn away after they have already seen the light and have received the gift from heaven and have shared in the Holy Spirit? What about those who turn away after they have received the good message of God and the powers of the future world? There is no way to bring them back. What they are doing is the same as nailing the Son of God to a cross and insulting him in public!


book: Heb
contenido:
A field is useful to farmers, if there is enough rain to make good crops grow. In fact, God will bless such a field.


book: Heb
contenido:
But land that produces only thornbushes is worthless. It is likely to fall under God's curse, and in the end it will be set on fire.


book: Heb
contenido:
My friends, we are talking this way. But we are sure that you are doing those really good things people do when they are being saved.


book: Heb
contenido:
God is always fair. He will remember how you helped his people in the past and how you are still helping them. You belong to God, and he won't forget the love you have shown his people.


book: Heb
contenido:
Then you would never be lazy. You would be following the example of those who had faith and were patient until God kept his promise to them.


book: Heb
contenido:
When anyone wants to settle an argument, they make a vow by using the name of someone or something greater than themselves.


book: Heb
contenido:
So when God wanted to prove for certain his promise to his people could not be broken, he made a vow.


book: Heb
contenido:
God cannot tell lies! And so his promises and vows are two things that can never be changed. We have run to God for safety. Now his promises should greatly encourage us to take hold of the hope that is right in front of us.


book: Heb
contenido:
This hope is like a firm and steady anchor for our souls. In fact, hope reaches behind the curtain and into the most holy place.


book: Heb
contenido:
Melchizedek was both king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He was the one who went out and gave Abraham his blessing, when Abraham returned from killing the kings.


book: Heb
contenido:
Then Abraham gave him a tenth of everything he had. The meaning of the name Melchizedek is “King of Justice.” But since Salem means “peace,” he is also “King of Peace.”


book: Heb
contenido:
We are not told he had a father or mother or ancestors or beginning or end. He is like the Son of God and will be a priest forever.


book: Heb
contenido:
Notice how great Melchizedek was! Our famous ancestor Abraham gave him a tenth of what he had taken from his enemies.


book: Heb
contenido:
The Law teaches that even Abraham's descendants must give a tenth of what they possess. And they are to give this to their own relatives, who are the descendants of Levi and are priests.


book: Heb
contenido:
Although Melchizedek wasn't a descendant of Levi, Abraham gave him a tenth of what he had. Then Melchizedek blessed Abraham, who had been given God's promise.


book: Heb
contenido:
Priests are given a tenth of what people earn. But all priests die, except Melchizedek, and the Scriptures teach that he is alive.


book: Heb
contenido:
Levi's descendants are now the ones who receive a tenth from people. We could even say that when Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth, Levi also gave him a tenth.


book: Heb
contenido:
Even though the Law of Moses says the priests must be descendants of Levi, those priests cannot make anyone perfect. So there needs to be a priest like Melchizedek, rather than one from the priestly family of Aaron.


book: Heb
contenido:
The person we are talking about is our Lord, who came from a tribe that had never had anyone to serve as a priest at the altar.


book: Heb
contenido:
Everyone knows he came from the tribe of Judah, and Moses never said priests would come from that tribe.


book: Heb
contenido:
because the Law cannot make anything perfect. At the same time, we are given a much better hope, and it can bring us close to God.


book: Heb
contenido:
God himself made a promise when this priest was appointed. But he did not make a promise like this when the other priests were appointed. The promise he made is, “I, the Lord, promise that you will be a priest forever! And I will never change my mind!”


book: Heb
contenido:
He is forever able to save the people he leads to God, because he always lives to speak to God for them.


book: Heb
contenido:
Jesus is the high priest we need. He is holy and innocent and faultless, and not at all like us sinners. Jesus is honored above all beings in heaven,


book: Heb
contenido:
and he is better than any other high priest. Jesus doesn't need to offer sacrifices each day for his own sins and then for the sins of the people. He offered a sacrifice once for all, when he gave himself.


book: Heb
contenido:
The Law appoints priests who have weaknesses. But God's promise, which came later than the Law, appoints his Son. And he is the perfect high priest forever.


book: Heb
contenido:
He also serves as the priest in the most holy place inside the real tent there in heaven. This tent of worship was set up by the Lord, not by humans.


book: Heb
contenido:
If he were here on earth, he would not be a priest at all, because here the Law appoints other priests to offer sacrifices.


book: Heb
contenido:
But the tent where they serve is just a copy and a shadow of the real one in heaven. Before Moses made the tent, he was told, “Be sure to make it exactly like the pattern you were shown on the mountain!”


book: Heb
contenido:
Now Christ has been appointed to serve as a priest in a much better way, and he has given us much assurance of a better agreement.


book: Heb
contenido:
If the first agreement with God had been all right, there would not have been any need for another one.


book: Heb
contenido:
But the Lord found fault with it and said, “I tell you the time will come, when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and the people of Judah.


book: Heb
contenido:
It won't be like the agreement that I made with their ancestors, when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. They broke their agreement with me, and I stopped caring about them!


book: Heb
contenido:
“But now I tell the people of Israel this is my new agreement: ‘The time will come when I, the Lord, will write my laws on their minds and hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.


book: Heb
contenido:
Not one of them will have to teach another to know me, their Lord.’ “All of them will know me, no matter who they are.


book: Heb
contenido:
When the Lord talks about a new agreement, he means that the first one is out of date. And anything that is old and useless will soon disappear.


book: Heb
contenido:
The first part of the tent was called the holy place, and a lampstand, a table, and the sacred loaves of bread were kept there.


book: Heb
contenido:
The gold altar for burning incense was in this holy place. The gold-covered sacred chest was also there, and inside it were three things. First, there was a gold jar filled with manna. Then there was Aaron's walking stick that sprouted. Finally, there were the flat stones with the Ten Commandments written on them.


book: Heb
contenido:
On top of the chest were the glorious creatures with wings opened out above the place of mercy. Now isn't the time to go into detail about these things.


book: Heb
contenido:
But this is how everything was when the priests went each day into the first part of the tent to do their duties.


book: Heb
contenido:
However, only the high priest could go into the second part of the tent, and he went in only once a year. Each time he carried blood to offer for his sins and for any sins that the people had committed without meaning to.


book: Heb
contenido:
All of this is the Holy Spirit's way of saying no one could enter the most holy place while the tent was still the place of worship.


book: Heb
contenido:
This also has a meaning for today. It shows we cannot make our consciences clear by offering gifts and sacrifices.


book: Heb
contenido:
These rules are merely about such things as eating and drinking and ceremonies for washing ourselves. And rules about physical things will last only until the time comes to change them for something better.


book: Heb
contenido:
Christ came as the high priest of the good things that are now here. He also went into a much better tent that wasn't made by humans and that doesn't belong to this world.


book: Heb
contenido:
Then Christ went once for all into the most holy place and freed us from sin forever. He did this by offering his own blood instead of the blood of goats and bulls.


book: Heb
contenido:
According to the Law of Moses, those people who become unclean are not fit to worship God. Yet they will be considered clean, if they are sprinkled with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a sacrificed calf.


book: Heb
contenido:
But Christ was sinless, and he offered himself as an eternal and spiritual sacrifice to God. This is why his blood is much more powerful and makes our consciences clear. Now we can serve the living God and no longer do things that lead to death.


book: Heb
contenido:
Christ died to rescue those who had sinned and broken the old agreement. Now he brings his chosen ones a new agreement with its guarantee of God's eternal blessings!


book: Heb
contenido:
In fact, making an agreement of this kind is like writing a will. This is because the one who makes the will must die before it is of any use.


book: Heb
contenido:
Moses told the people all the Law said they must do. Then he used red wool and a hyssop plant to sprinkle the people and the book of the Law with the blood of bulls and goats and with water.


book: Heb
contenido:
The Law says that almost everything must be sprinkled with blood, and no sins can be forgiven unless blood is offered.


book: Heb
contenido:
These things are only copies of what is in heaven, and so they had to be made holy by these ceremonies. But the real things in heaven must be made holy by something better.


book: Heb
contenido:
This is why Christ did not go into a tent made by humans and was only a copy of the real one. Instead, he went into heaven and is now there with God to help us.


book: Heb
contenido:
Christ did not have to offer himself many times. He wasn't like a high priest who goes into the most holy place each year to offer the blood of an animal.


book: Heb
contenido:
If he had offered himself every year, he would have suffered many times since the creation of the world. But instead, near the end of time he offered himself once and for all, so he could be a sacrifice that does away with sin.


book: Heb
contenido:
So Christ died only once to take away the sins of many people. But when he comes again, it will not be to take away sin. He will come to save everyone who is waiting for him.


book: Heb
contenido:
The Law of Moses is like a shadow of the good things to come. This shadow isn't the good things themselves, because it cannot free people from sin by the sacrifices offered year after year.


book: Heb
contenido:
If there were worshipers who already have their sins washed away and their consciences made clear, there would not be any need to go on offering sacrifices.


book: Heb
contenido:
But the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins. It only reminds people of their sins from one year to the next.


book: Heb
contenido:
When Christ came into the world, he said to God, “Sacrifices and offerings are not what you want, but you have given me my body.


book: Heb
contenido:
The Law teaches that offerings and sacrifices must be made because of sin. But why did Christ mention these things and say that God did not want them?


book: Heb
contenido:
Well, it was to do away with offerings and sacrifices and to replace them. This is what he meant by saying to God, “I have come to do what you want.”


book: Heb
contenido:
The priests do their work each day, and they keep on offering sacrifices that can never take away sins.


book: Heb
contenido:
But Christ offered himself as a sacrifice that is good forever. Now he is sitting at God's right side,


book: Heb
contenido:
“When the time comes, I will make an agreement with them. I will write my laws on their minds and hearts.


book: Heb
contenido:
So let's come near God with pure hearts and a confidence that comes from having faith. Let's keep our hearts pure, our consciences free from evil, and our bodies washed with clean water.


book: Heb
contenido:
We must hold tightly to the hope we say is ours. After all, we can trust the one who made the agreement with us.


book: Heb
contenido:
Some people have given up the habit of meeting for worship, but we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that the day of the Lord's coming is getting closer.


book: Heb
contenido:
If two or more witnesses accused someone of breaking the Law of Moses, that person could be put to death.


book: Heb
contenido:
But it is much worse to dishonor God's Son and to disgrace the blood of the promise that made us holy. And it is just as bad to insult the Holy Spirit, who shows us mercy.


book: Heb
contenido:
We know that God has said he will punish and take revenge. We also know that the Scriptures say the Lord will judge his people.


book: Heb
contenido:
Sometimes you were abused and mistreated in public, and at other times you shared in the sufferings of others.


book: Heb
contenido:
You were kind to people in jail. And you gladly let your possessions be taken away, because you knew you had something better, something that would last forever.


book: Heb
contenido:
The people God accepts will live because of their faith. But he isn't pleased with anyone who turns back.”


book: Heb
contenido:
We are not like those people who turn back and get destroyed. We will keep on having faith until we are saved.


book: Heb
contenido:
Because of our faith, we know that the world was made at God's command. We also know that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen.


book: Heb
contenido:
Because Abel had faith, he offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. God was pleased with him and his gift, and even though Abel is now dead, his faith still speaks for him.


book: Heb
contenido:
Enoch had faith and did not die. He pleased God, and God took him up to heaven. This is why his body was never found.


book: Heb
contenido:
But without faith no one can please God. We must believe that God is real and rewards everyone who searches for him.


book: Heb
contenido:
Because Noah had faith, he was warned about something that had not yet happened. He obeyed and built a boat that saved him and his family. In this way the people of the world were judged, and Noah was given the blessings that come to everyone who pleases God.


book: Heb
contenido:
Abraham had faith and obeyed God. He was told to go to the land that God had said would be his, and he left for a country he had never seen.


book: Heb
contenido:
Because Abraham had faith, he lived as a stranger in the promised land. He lived there in a tent, and so did Isaac and Jacob, who were later given the same promise.


book: Heb
contenido:
Even when Sarah was too old to have children, she had faith that God would do what he had promised, and she had a son.


book: Heb
contenido:
Her husband Abraham was almost dead, but he became the ancestor of many people. In fact, there are as many of them as there are stars in the sky or grains of sand along the seashore.


book: Heb
contenido:
Every one of those people died. But they still had faith, even though they had not received what they had been promised. They were glad just to see these things from far away, and they agreed that they were only strangers and foreigners on this earth.


book: Heb
contenido:
If they had been talking about the land where they had once lived, they could have gone back at any time.


book: Heb
contenido:
But they were looking forward to a better home in heaven. This is why God wasn't ashamed for them to call him their God. He even built a city for them.


book: Heb
contenido:
Abraham had been promised that Isaac, his only son, would continue his family. But when Abraham was tested, he had faith and was willing to sacrifice Isaac,


book: Heb
contenido:
because he was sure that God could raise people to life. This was just like getting Isaac back from death.


book: Heb
contenido:
Later, when Jacob was about to die, he leaned on his walking stick and worshiped. Then because of his faith he blessed each of Joseph's sons.


book: Heb
contenido:
And right before Joseph died, he had faith that God would lead the people of Israel out of Egypt. So he told them to take his bones with them.


book: Heb
contenido:
Because Moses' parents had faith, they kept him hidden until he was three months old. They saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid to disobey the king's orders.


book: Heb
contenido:
He chose to be mistreated with God's people instead of having the good time that sin could bring for a little while.


book: Heb
contenido:
Moses knew that the treasures of Egypt were not as wonderful as what he would receive from suffering for the Messiah, and he looked forward to his reward.


book: Heb
contenido:
Because of his faith, Moses left Egypt. Moses had seen the invisible God and wasn't afraid of the king's anger.


book: Heb
contenido:
His faith also made him celebrate Passover. He sprinkled the blood of animals on the doorposts, so that the first-born sons of the people of Israel would not be killed by the destroying angel.


book: Heb
contenido:
Because of their faith, the people walked through the Red Sea on dry land. But when the Egyptians tried to do it, they were drowned.


book: Heb
contenido:
God's people had faith, and when they had walked around the city of Jericho for seven days, its walls fell down.


book: Heb
contenido:
Rahab had been a prostitute, but she had faith and welcomed the spies. So she wasn't killed with the people who disobeyed.


book: Heb
contenido:
What else can I say? There isn't enough time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets.


book: Heb
contenido:
Their faith helped them conquer kingdoms, and because they did right, God made promises to them. They closed the jaws of lions


book: Heb
contenido:
and put out raging fires and escaped from the swords of their enemies. Although they were weak, they were given the strength and power to chase foreign armies away.


book: Heb
contenido:
Some women received their loved ones back from death. Many of these people were tortured, but they refused to be released. They were sure they would get a better reward when the dead are raised to life.


book: Heb
contenido:
Still others were stoned to death or sawed in two or killed with swords. Some had nothing but sheep skins or goat skins to wear. They were poor, mistreated, and tortured.


book: Heb
contenido:
The world did not deserve these good people, who had to wander in deserts and on mountains and had to live in caves and holes in the ground.


book: Heb
contenido:
All of them pleased God because of their faith! But still they died without being given what had been promised.


book: Heb
contenido:
This was because God had something better in store for us. And he did not want them to reach the goal of their faith without us.


book: Heb
contenido:
Such a large crowd of witnesses is all around us! So we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially the sin that just won't let go. And we must be determined to run the race that is ahead of us.


book: Heb
contenido:
We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of God's throne!


book: Heb
contenido:
So keep your mind on Jesus, who put up with many insults from sinners. Then you won't get discouraged and give up.


book: Heb
contenido:
But you have forgotten that the Scriptures say to God's children, “When the Lord punishes you, don't make light of it, and when he corrects you, don't be discouraged.


book: Heb
contenido:
Be patient when you are being corrected! This is how God treats his children. Don't all parents correct their children?


book: Heb
contenido:
Our earthly fathers correct us, and we still respect them. Isn't it even better to be given true life by letting our spiritual Father correct us?


book: Heb
contenido:
Our human fathers correct us for a short time, and they do it as they think best. But God corrects us for our own good, because he wants us to be holy, as he is.


book: Heb
contenido:
It is never fun to be corrected. In fact, at the time it is always painful. But if we learn to obey by being corrected, we will do right and live at peace.


book: Heb
contenido:
Make sure no one misses out on God's wonderful kindness. Don't let anyone become bitter and cause trouble for the rest of you.


book: Heb
contenido:
You know how he later wanted it back. But there was nothing he could do to change things, even though he begged his father and cried.


book: Heb
contenido:
You have not come to a place like Mount Sinai that can be seen and touched. There is no flaming fire or dark cloud or storm


book: Heb
contenido:
because they could not obey its commands. They were even told to kill any animal that touched the mountain.


book: Heb
contenido:
You have now come to Mount Zion and to the heavenly Jerusalem. This is the city of the living God, where thousands and thousands of angels have come to celebrate.


book: Heb
contenido:
Here you will find all of God's dearest children, whose names are written in heaven. And you will find God himself, who judges everyone. Here also are the spirits of those good people who have been made perfect.


book: Heb
contenido:
And Jesus is here! He is the one who makes God's new agreement with us, and his sprinkled blood says much better things than the blood of Abel.


book: Heb
contenido:
Make sure you obey the one who speaks to you. The people did not escape, when they refused to obey the one who spoke to them at Mount Sinai. Do you think you can possibly escape, if you refuse to obey the one who speaks to you from heaven?


book: Heb
contenido:
When God spoke the first time, his voice shook only the earth. This time he has promised to shake the earth once again, and heaven too.


book: Heb
contenido:
The words “once again” mean that these created things will someday be shaken and removed. Then what cannot be shaken will last.


book: Heb
contenido:
We should be grateful we were given a kingdom that cannot be shaken. And in this kingdom we please God by worshiping him and by showing him great honor and respect.


book: Heb
contenido:
Be sure to welcome strangers into your home. By doing this, some people have welcomed angels as guests, without even knowing it.


book: Heb
contenido:
Remember the Lord's people who are in jail and be concerned for them. Don't forget those who are suffering, but imagine you are there with them.


book: Heb
contenido:
Have respect for marriage. Always be faithful to your partner, because God will punish anyone who is immoral or unfaithful in marriage.


book: Heb
contenido:
Don't fall in love with money. Be satisfied with what you have. The Lord has promised that he will not leave us or desert us.


book: Heb
contenido:
This should make you feel like saying, “The Lord helps me! Why should I be afraid of what people can do to me?”


book: Heb
contenido:
Don't forget about your leaders who taught you God's message. Remember what kind of lives they lived and try to have faith like theirs.


book: Heb
contenido:
Don't be fooled by any kind of strange teachings. It is better to receive strength from God's gift of undeserved grace than to depend on certain foods. After all, these foods don't really help the people who eat them.


book: Heb
contenido:
After the high priest offers the blood of animals as a sin offering, the bodies of those animals are burned outside the camp.


book: Heb
contenido:
But don't forget to help others and to share your possessions with them. This too is like offering a sacrifice that pleases God.


book: Heb
contenido:
Obey your leaders and do what they say. They are watching over you, and they must answer to God. So don't make them sad as they do their work. Make them happy. Otherwise, they won't be able to help you at all.


book: Heb
contenido:
God gives peace, and he raised our Lord Jesus Christ from death. Now Jesus is like a Great Shepherd whose blood was used to make God's eternal agreement with his flock.


book: Heb
contenido:
I pray God will make you ready to obey him and that you will always be eager to do right. May Jesus help you do what pleases God. To Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever! Amen.


book: Heb
contenido:
My friends, I have written only a short letter to encourage you, and I beg you to pay close attention to what I have said.


book: Heb
contenido:
By now you surely must know that our friend Timothy is out of jail. If he gets here in time, I will bring him with me when I come to visit you.


book: Heb
contenido:
Please give my greetings to your leaders and to the rest of the Lord's people. His followers from Italy send you their greetings.


book: Jas
contenido:
From James, a servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ. Greetings to the twelve tribes scattered all over the world.


book: Jas
contenido:
But you must learn to endure everything, so you will be completely mature and not lacking in anything.


book: Jas
contenido:
If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given to you. God is generous and won't correct you for asking.


book: Jas
contenido:
But when you ask for something, you must have faith and not doubt. Anyone who doubts is like an ocean wave tossed around in a storm.


book: Jas
contenido:
If you are that kind of person, you can't make up your mind, and you surely can't be trusted. So don't expect the Lord to give you anything at all.


book: Jas
contenido:
But any who are rich should be glad when God makes them humble. Rich people will disappear like wild flowers


book: Jas
contenido:
scorched by the burning heat of the sun. The flowers lose their blossoms, and their beauty is destroyed. This is how the rich will disappear, as they go about their business.


book: Jas
contenido:
God will bless you, if you don't give up when your faith is being tested. He will reward you with a glorious life, just as he rewards everyone who loves him.


book: Jas
contenido:
Don't blame God when you are tempted! God cannot be tempted by evil, and he doesn't use evil to tempt others.


book: Jas
contenido:
Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father who created all the lights in the heavens. He is always the same and never makes dark shadows by changing.


book: Jas
contenido:
You must stop doing anything immoral or evil. Instead be humble and accept the message planted in you to save you.


book: Jas
contenido:
But you must never stop looking at the perfect law that sets you free. God will bless you in everything you do, if you listen and obey, and don't just hear and forget.


book: Jas
contenido:
If you think you are being religious, but can't control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is useless.


book: Jas
contenido:
Religion that pleases God the Father must be pure and spotless. You must help needy orphans and widows and not let this world make you evil.


book: Jas
contenido:
My friends, if you have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, you won't treat some people better than others.


book: Jas
contenido:
Suppose a rich person wearing fancy clothes and a gold ring comes to one of your meetings. And suppose a poor person dressed in worn-out clothes also comes.


book: Jas
contenido:
You must not give the best seat to the one in fancy clothes and tell the one who is poor to stand at the side or sit on the floor.


book: Jas
contenido:
This is the same as saying that some people are better than others, and you would be acting like a crooked judge.


book: Jas
contenido:
My dear friends, pay attention. God has given a lot of faith to the poor people in this world. God has also promised them a share in his kingdom that he will give to everyone who loves him.


book: Jas
contenido:
You will do all right, if you obey the most important law in the Scriptures. It is the law that commands us to love others as much as we love ourselves.


book: Jas
contenido:
But if you treat some people better than others, you have done wrong, and the Scriptures teach that you have sinned.


book: Jas
contenido:
The same God who told us to be faithful in marriage also told us not to murder. So even if you are faithful in marriage, but murder someone, you still have broken God's Law.


book: Jas
contenido:
Do this, because on the day of judgment there will be no pity for those who have not had pity on others. But even in judgment, God is merciful!


book: Jas
contenido:
My friends, what good is it to say you have faith, when you don't do anything to show you really do have faith? Can this kind of faith save you?


book: Jas
contenido:
you shouldn't just say, “I hope all goes well for you. I hope you will be warm and have plenty to eat.” What good is it to say this, unless you do something to help?


book: Jas
contenido:
Suppose someone disagrees and says, “It is possible to have faith without doing kind deeds.” I would answer, “Prove that you have faith without doing kind deeds, and I will prove that I have faith by doing them.”


book: Jas
contenido:
You surely believe there is only one God. That's fine. Even demons believe this, and it makes them shake with fear.


book: Jas
contenido:
Now you see how Abraham's faith and deeds worked together. He proved his faith was real by what he did.


book: Jas
contenido:
This is what the Scriptures mean by saying, “Abraham had faith in God, and God accepted him.” That's how Abraham became God's friend.


book: Jas
contenido:
For example, Rahab had been a prostitute. But she pleased God when she welcomed the spies and sent them home by another way.


book: Jas
contenido:
My friends, we should not all try to become teachers. In fact, teachers will be judged more strictly than others.


book: Jas
contenido:
All of us do many wrong things. But if you can control your tongue, you are mature and able to control your whole body.


book: Jas
contenido:
It takes strong winds to move a large sailing ship, but the captain uses only a small rudder to make it go in any direction.


book: Jas
contenido:
Our tongues are small too, and yet they brag about big things. It takes only a spark to start a forest fire!


book: Jas
contenido:
The tongue is like a spark. It is an evil power that dirties the rest of the body and sets a person's entire life on fire with flames that come from hell itself.


book: Jas
contenido:
My dear friends, with our tongues we speak both praises and curses. We praise our Lord and Father, and we curse people who were created to be like God, and this isn't right.


book: Jas
contenido:
Can a fig tree produce olives or a grapevine produce figs? Does fresh water come from a well full of salt water?


book: Jas
contenido:
Are any of you wise or sensible? Then show it by living right and by being humble and wise in everything you do.


book: Jas
contenido:
But if your heart is full of bitter jealousy and selfishness, don't brag or lie to cover up the truth.


book: Jas
contenido:
This kind of wisdom doesn't come from above. It is earthly and selfish and comes from the devil himself.


book: Jas
contenido:
But the wisdom that comes from above leads us to be pure, friendly, gentle, sensible, kind, helpful, genuine, and sincere.


book: Jas
contenido:
Why do you fight and argue with each other? Isn't it because you are full of selfish desires that fight to control your body?


book: Jas
contenido:
You want something you don't have, and you will do anything to get it. You will even kill! But you still cannot get what you want, and you won't get it by fighting and arguing. You should pray for it.


book: Jas
contenido:
Yet even when you do pray, your prayers are not answered, because you pray just for selfish reasons.


book: Jas
contenido:
You people aren't faithful to God! Don't you know if you love the world, you are God's enemies? And if you decide to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.


book: Jas
contenido:
In fact, God treats us with even greater kindness, just as the Scriptures say, “God opposes everyone who is proud, but he blesses all who are humble with undeserved grace.”


book: Jas
contenido:
Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Clean up your lives, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you people who can't make up your mind.


book: Jas
contenido:
My friends, don't say cruel things about others! If you do, or if you condemn others, you are condemning God's Law. And if you condemn the Law, you put yourself above the Law and refuse to obey either it


book: Jas
contenido:
or God who gave it. God is our judge, and he can save or destroy us. What right do you have to condemn anyone?


book: Jas
contenido:
You should know better than to say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to the city. We will do business there for a year and make a lot of money!”


book: Jas
contenido:
What do you know about tomorrow? How can you be so sure about your life? It is nothing more than mist that appears for only a little while before it disappears.


book: Jas
contenido:
Your money has rusted, and the rust will be evidence against you, as it burns your body like fire. Yet you keep on storing up wealth in these last days.


book: Jas
contenido:
You refused to pay the people who worked in your fields, and now their unpaid wages are shouting out against you. The Lord All-Powerful has surely heard the cries of the workers who harvested your crops.


book: Jas
contenido:
While here on earth, you have thought only of filling your own stomachs and having a good time. But now you are like fat cattle on their way to be butchered.


book: Jas
contenido:
My friends, be patient until the Lord returns. Think of farmers who wait patiently for the autumn and spring rains to make their valuable crops grow.


book: Jas
contenido:
My friends, follow the example of the prophets who spoke for the Lord. They were patient, even when they had to suffer.


book: Jas
contenido:
In fact, we praise the ones who endured the most. You remember how patient Job was and how the Lord finally helped him. The Lord did this because he is so merciful and kind.


book: Jas
contenido:
My friends, above all else, don't take an oath. You must not swear by heaven or by earth or by anything else. “Yes” or “No” is all you need to say. If you say anything more, you will be condemned.


book: Jas
contenido:
If you are sick, ask the church leaders to come and pray for you. Ask them to put olive oil on you in the name of the Lord.


book: Jas
contenido:
If you have faith when you pray for sick people, they will get well. The Lord will heal them, and if they have sinned, he will forgive them.


book: Jas
contenido:
If you have sinned, you should tell each other what you have done. Then you can pray for one another and be healed. The prayer of an innocent person is powerful, and it can help a lot.


book: Jas
contenido:
Elijah was just as human as we are, and for three and a half years his prayers kept the rain from falling.


book: Jas
contenido:
If you turn sinners from the wrong way, you will save them from death, and many of their sins will be forgiven.


book: 1Pet
contenido:
From Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ. To God's people who are scattered like foreigners in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.


book: 1Pet
contenido:
God the Father decided to choose you as his people, and his Spirit has made you holy. You have obeyed Jesus Christ and are sprinkled with his blood. I pray that God will be kind to you and will keep on giving you peace!


book: 1Pet
contenido:
Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is so good, and by raising Jesus from death, he has given us new life and a hope that lives on.


book: 1Pet
contenido:
You have faith in God, whose power will protect you until the last day. Then he will save you, just as he has always planned to do.


book: 1Pet
contenido:
Your faith will be like gold that has been tested in a fire. And these trials will prove that your faith is worth much more than gold that can be destroyed. They will show that you will be given praise and honor and glory when Jesus Christ returns.


book: 1Pet
contenido:
You have never seen Jesus, and you don't see him now. But still you love him and have faith in him, and no words can tell how glad and happy

Christ is now in heaven, where he sits at the right side of God. All angels, authorities, and powers are under his control.


book: 1Pet
contenido:
Christ suffered here on earth. Now you must be ready to suffer as he did, because suffering shows that you have stopped sinning.


book: 1Pet
contenido:

Then when Christ the Chief Shepherd returns, you will be given a crown that will never lose its glory.

I pray that God will be kind to you and will let you live in perfect peace! May you keep learning more and more about God and our Lord Jesus.

book: 2Pet
contenido:
But if you don't grow, you are like someone who is nearsighted or blind, and you have forgotten that your past sins are forgiven.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
My friends, you must do all you can to show God has really chosen and selected you. If you keep on doing this, you won't stumble and fall.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
Then our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will give you a glorious welcome into his kingdom that will last forever.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
You are holding firmly to the truth you were given. But I am still going to remind you of these things.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
When we told you about the power and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not telling clever stories someone had made up. But with our own eyes we saw his true greatness.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
God, our great and wonderful Father, truly honored him by saying, “This is my own dear Son, and I am pleased with him.”


book: 2Pet
contenido:
All of this makes us even more certain that what the prophets said is true. So you should pay close attention to their message, as you would to a lamp shining in some dark place. You must keep on paying attention until daylight comes and the morning star rises in your hearts.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
Sometimes false prophets spoke to the people of Israel. False teachers will also sneak in and speak harmful lies to you. But these teachers don't really belong to the Master who paid a great price for them, and they will quickly destroy themselves.


book: 2Pet

They will be greedy and cheat you with smooth talk. But long ago God decided to punish them, and God doesn't sleep.

God did not have pity on the angels that sinned. He had them tied up and thrown into the dark pits of hell until the time of judgment.

book: 2Pet
contenido:
God punished the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and this is a warning to anyone else who wants to sin.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
Lot lived right and was greatly troubled by the terrible way those wicked people were living. He was a good man, and day after day he suffered because of the evil things he saw and heard. So the Lord rescued him.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
This shows that the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their sufferings and to punish evil people while they wait for the day of judgment.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
The Lord is especially hard on people who disobey him and don't think of anything except their own filthy desires. They are reckless and proud and are not afraid of cursing the glorious beings in heaven.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
Although angels are more powerful than these evil beings, even the angels don't dare to accuse them to the Lord.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
These people are no better than senseless animals that live by their feelings and are born to be caught and killed. They speak evil of things they don't know anything about. But their own corrupt deeds will destroy them.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
They have done evil, and they will be rewarded with evil. They think it is fun to have wild parties during the day. They are immoral, and the meals they eat with you are spoiled by the shameful and selfish way they carry on.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
All they think about is having sex with someone else's husband or wife. There is no end to their wicked deeds. They trick people who are easily fooled, and their minds are filled with greedy thoughts. But they are headed for trouble!


book: 2Pet
contenido:
They have left the true road and have gone down the wrong path by following the example of the prophet Balaam. He was the son of Beor and loved what he got from being a crook.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
But a donkey corrected him for this evil deed. It spoke to him with a human voice and made him stop his foolishness.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
These people are like dried up water holes and clouds blown by a windstorm. The darkest part of hell is waiting for them.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
They brag out loud about their stupid nonsense. And by being vulgar and crude, they trap people who have barely escaped from living the wrong kind of life.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
They promise freedom to everyone. But they are merely slaves of filthy living, because people are slaves of whatever controls them.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
When they learned about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they escaped from the filthy things of this world. But they are again caught up and controlled by these filthy things, and now they are in worse shape than they were at first.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
They would have been better off if they had never known about the right way. Even after they knew what was right, they turned their backs on the holy commandments they were given.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
What happened to them is just like the true saying, “A dog will come back to lick up its own vomit. A pig that has been washed will roll in the mud.”


book: 2Pet
contenido:
My dear friends, this is the second letter I have written to encourage you to do some honest thinking. I don't want you to forget


book: 2Pet
contenido:
what God's prophets said would happen. You must never forget what the holy prophets taught in the past. And you must remember what the apostles told you our Lord and Savior has commanded us to do.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
But first you must realize that in the last days some people won't think about anything except their own selfish desires. They will make fun of you


book: 2Pet
contenido:
and say, “Didn't your Lord promise to come back? Yet the first leaders have already died, and the world hasn't changed a bit.”


book: 2Pet
contenido:
They will say this because they want to forget that long ago the heavens and the earth were made at God's command. The earth came out of water and was made from water.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
But God has commanded the present heavens and earth to remain until the day of judgment. Then they will be set on fire, and ungodly people will be destroyed.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
Dear friends, don't forget that for the Lord one day is the same as 1,000 years, and 1,000 years is the same as one day.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
The Lord isn't slow about keeping his promises, as some people think he is. In fact, God is patient, because he wants everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
The day of the Lord's return will surprise us like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a loud noise, and the heat will melt the whole universe. Then the earth and everything on it will be seen for what they are.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
You should look forward to the day when God judges everyone, and you should try to make it come soon. On that day the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and everything else will melt in the heat.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
But God has promised us a new heaven and a new earth, where justice will rule. We are really looking forward to this!


book: 2Pet
contenido:
My friends, while you are waiting, you should make certain the Lord finds you pure, spotless, and living at peace.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
Don't forget that the Lord is patient because he wants people to be saved. This is also what our dear friend Paul said when he wrote you with the wisdom God had given him.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
Paul talks about these same things in all his letters, but part of what he says is hard to understand. Some ignorant and unsteady people even destroy themselves by twisting what he said. They do the same thing with other Scriptures too.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
My dear friends, you have been warned ahead of time! So don't let the errors of evil people lead you down the wrong path and make you lose your balance.


book: 2Pet
contenido:
Let the gift of undeserved grace and the understanding that come from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ help you keep on growing. Praise Jesus now and forever! Amen.


book: 1John
contenido:
The Word that gives life was from the beginning, and this is the one our message is about. Our ears have heard, our eyes have seen, and our hands have touched this Word.


book: 1John
contenido:
The one who gives life appeared! We saw it happen, and we are witnesses to what we have seen. Now we are telling you about this eternal life that was with the Father and appeared to us.


book: 1John
contenido:
We are telling you what we have seen and heard, so you may share in this life with us. And we share in it with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.


book: 1John
contenido:
If we say we share in life with God and keep on living in the dark, we are lying and are not living by the truth.


book: 1John
contenido:
But if we live in the light, as God does, we share in life with each other. And the blood of his Son Jesus washes all our sins away.


book: 1John
contenido:
My children, I am writing this so you won't sin. But if you do sin, Jesus Christ always does the right thing, and he will speak to the Father for us.


book: 1John
contenido:
My dear friends, I am not writing to give you a new commandment. It is the same one you were first given, and it is the message you heard.


book: 1John
contenido:
But it really is a new commandment, and you know its true meaning, just as Christ does. You can see the darkness fading away and the true light already shining.


book: 1John
contenido:
If we hate others, we are living and walking in the dark. We don't know where we are going, because we can't see in the dark.


book: 1John
contenido:
Parents, I am writing you, because you have known the one who was there from the beginning. Young people, I am writing you, because you have defeated the evil one.


book: 1John
contenido:
Children, I am writing you, because you have known the Father. Parents, I am writing you, because you have known the one who was there from the beginning. Young people, I am writing you, because you are strong. God's message is firm in your hearts, and you have defeated the evil one.


book: 1John
contenido:
Don't love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you cannot love the Father.


book: 1John
contenido:
Our foolish pride comes from this world, and so do our selfish desires and our desire to have everything we see. None of this comes from the Father.


book: 1John
contenido:
Children, this is the last hour. You heard that the enemy of Christ would appear at this time, and many of Christ's enemies have already appeared. So we know the last hour is here.


book: 1John
contenido:
These people came from our own group, yet they were not really part of us. If they had been part of us, they would have stayed with us. But they left, which proves they did not belong to our group.


book: 1John
contenido:
I did not need to write you about the truth, since you already know it. You also know that liars do not belong to the truth.


book: 1John
contenido:
And a liar is anyone who says Jesus isn't truly Christ. Anyone who says this is an enemy of Christ and rejects both the Father and the Son.


book: 1John
contenido:
Keep thinking about the message you first heard, and you will always be one in your heart with the Son and with the Father.


book: 1John
contenido:
But Christ has blessed you with the Holy Spirit. Now the Spirit stays in you, and you don't need any teachers. The Spirit is truthful and teaches you everything. So stay one in your heart with Christ, just as the Spirit has taught you to do.


book: 1John
contenido:
Children, stay one in your hearts with Christ. Then when he returns, we will have confidence and won't have to hide in shame.


book: 1John
contenido:
Think how much the Father loves us. He loves us so much that he lets us be called his children, as we truly are. But since the people of this world did not know who Christ is, they don't know who we are.


book: 1John
contenido:
My dear friends, we are already God's children, though what we will be hasn't yet been seen. But we do know when Christ returns, we will be like him, because we will see him as he truly is.


book: 1John
contenido:
and people who stay one in their hearts with him won't keep on sinning. If they do keep on sinning, they don't know Christ, and they have never seen him.


book: 1John
contenido:
Anyone who keeps on sinning belongs to the devil. He has sinned from the beginning, but the Son of God came to destroy all that he has done.


book: 1John
contenido:
God's children cannot keep on being sinful. His life-giving power lives in them and makes them his children, so they cannot keep on sinning.


book: 1John
contenido:
You can tell God's children from the devil's children, because those who belong to the devil refuse to do right or to love each other.


book: 1John
contenido:
Don't be like Cain, who belonged to the devil and murdered his own brother. Why did he murder him? He did it because his brother was good, and he was evil.


book: 1John
contenido:
Our love for each other proves we have gone from death to life. But if you don't love each other, you are still under the power of death.


book: 1John
contenido:
We know what love is because Jesus gave his life for us. This is why we must give our lives for each other.


book: 1John
contenido:
If we have all we need and see one of our own people in need, we must have pity on that person, or else we cannot say we love God.


book: 1John
contenido:
God wants us to have faith in his Son Jesus Christ and to love each other. This is also what Jesus taught us to do.


book: 1John
contenido:
If we obey God's commandments, we will stay one in our hearts with him, and he will stay one with us. The Spirit he has given us is proof that we are one with him.


book: 1John
contenido:
Dear friends, don't believe everyone who claims to have the Spirit of God. Test them all to find out if they really do come from God. Many false prophets have already gone out into the world,


book: 1John
contenido:
and you can know which ones come from God. His Spirit says that Jesus Christ had a truly human body.


book: 1John
contenido:
But when someone doesn't say this about Jesus, you know this person has a spirit that doesn't come from God and is the enemy of Christ. You knew this enemy was coming into the world and now is already here.


book: 1John
contenido:
Children, you belong to God, and you have defeated these enemies. God's Spirit is in you and is more powerful than the one who is in the world.


book: 1John
contenido:
We belong to God, and everyone who knows God will listen to us. But the people who don't know God won't listen to us. This is how we can tell the Spirit that speaks the truth from the one that tells lies.


book: 1John
contenido:
My dear friends, we must love each other. Love comes from God, and when we love each other, it shows we have been given new life. We are now God's children, and we know him.


book: 1John
contenido:
Real love isn't our love for God, but his love for us. God sent his Son to be the sacrifice by which our sins are forgiven.


book: 1John
contenido:
No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is truly in our hearts.


book: 1John
contenido:
God sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. We saw his Son and are now telling others about him.


book: 1John
contenido:
God stays one with everyone who openly says Jesus is the Son of God. This is how we stay one with God


book: 1John
contenido:
and are sure God loves us. God is love. If we keep on loving others, we will stay one in our hearts with God, and he will stay one with us.


book: 1John
contenido:
If we truly love others and live as Christ did in this world, we won't be worried about the day of judgment.


book: 1John
contenido:
A real love for others will chase those worries away. The thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows we have not really learned to love.


book: 1John
contenido:
But if we say we love God and don't love each other, we are liars. We cannot see God. So how can we love God, if we don't love the people we can see?


book: 1John
contenido:
If we believe Jesus is truly Christ, we are God's children. Everyone who loves the Father will also love his children.


book: 1John
contenido:
Water and blood came out from the side of Jesus Christ. It wasn't just water, but water and blood. The Spirit tells about this, because the Spirit is truthful.


book: 1John
contenido:
We believe what people tell us. But we can trust what God says even more, and God is the one who has spoken about his Son.


book: 1John
contenido:
If we have faith in God's Son, we have believed what God has said. But if we don't believe what God has said about his Son, it is the same as calling God a liar.


book: 1John
contenido:
And so, if we have God's Son, we have this life. But if we don't have the Son, we don't have this life.


book: 1John
contenido:
Suppose you see one of our people commit a sin that isn't a deadly sin. You can pray, and this person will be given eternal life. But the sin must not be one that is deadly.


book: 1John
contenido:
We are sure God's children do not keep on sinning. God's own Son protects them, and the devil cannot harm them.


book: 1John
contenido:
We know that Jesus Christ the Son of God has come and has shown us the true God. And because of Jesus, we now belong to the true God who gives eternal life.


book: 2John
contenido:
From the church leader. To a very special woman and her children. I truly love all of you, and so does everyone else who knows the truth.


book: 2John
contenido:
I pray that God the Father and Jesus Christ his Son will be kind and merciful to us! May they give us peace and truth and love.


book: 2John
contenido:
I was very glad to learn that some of your children are obeying the truth, as the Father told us to do.


book: 2John
contenido:
Dear friend, I am not writing to tell you and your children to do something you have not done before. I am writing to tell you to love each other, which is the first thing you were told to do.


book: 2John
contenido:
Many liars have gone out into the world. These deceitful liars are saying Jesus Christ did not have a truly human body. But they are liars and the enemies of Christ.


book: 2John
contenido:
Don't keep changing what you were taught about Christ, or else God will no longer be with you. But if you hold firmly to what you were taught, both the Father and the Son will be with you.


book: 2John
contenido:
I have much more to tell you, but I don't want to write it with pen and ink. I want to come and talk to you in person, because this will make us really happy.


book: 3John
contenido:
dear friend, and I pray all goes well for you. I hope you are as strong in body, as I know you are in spirit.


book: 3John
contenido:
It makes me very happy when the Lord's followers come by and speak openly of how you obey the truth.


book: 3John
contenido:
Dear friend, you have always been faithful in helping other followers of the Lord, even the ones you didn't know before.


book: 3John
contenido:
They have told the church about your love. They say you were good enough to welcome them and to send them on their mission in a way God's servants deserve.


book: 3John
contenido:
When they left to tell others about the Lord, they decided not to accept help from anyone who wasn't a follower.


book: 3John
contenido:
I wrote to the church. But Diotrephes likes to be the number-one leader, and he won't pay any attention to us.


book: 3John
contenido:
So if I come, I will remind him of how he has been attacking us with gossip. Not only has he been doing this, but he refuses to welcome any of the Lord's followers who come by. And when other church members want to welcome them, he puts them out of the church.


book: 3John
contenido:
Dear friend, don't imitate the evil deeds of others, but follow the example of people who do kind deeds. They are God's children, but those who are always doing evil have never seen God.


book: 3John

Everyone speaks well of Demetrius, and so does the true message that he teaches. I also speak well of him, and you know what I say is true.

From Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James. To all who are chosen and loved by God the Father and are kept safe by Jesus Christ.


book: Jude
contenido:
My dear friends, I really wanted to write you about God's saving power at work in our lives. But instead, I must write and ask you to defend the faith that God has once for all given to his people.


book: Jude
contenido:
Some godless people have sneaked in among us and are saying, “God treats us much better than we deserve, and so it is all right to be immoral.” They even deny we must obey Jesus Christ as our only Master and Lord. But long ago the Scriptures warned that these godless people were doomed.


book: Jude
contenido:
Don't forget what happened to those people the Lord rescued from Egypt. Some of them did not have faith, and he later destroyed them.


book: Jude
contenido:
You also know about the angels who didn't do their work and left their proper places. God chained them with everlasting chains and is now keeping them in dark pits until the great day of judgment.


book: Jude
contenido:
We should also be warned by what happened to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns. Their people became immoral and committed all sorts of sexual sins. Then God made an example of them and punished them with eternal fire.


book: Jude
contenido:
The people I am talking about are behaving just like those dreamers who destroyed their own bodies. They reject all authority and insult angels.


book: Jude
contenido:
Even Michael, the chief angel, didn't dare to insult the devil, when the two of them were arguing about the body of Moses. All Michael said was, “The Lord will punish you!”


book: Jude
contenido:
But these people insult powers they don't know anything about. They are like senseless animals that end up getting destroyed, because they live only by their feelings.


book: Jude
contenido:
Now they are in for real trouble. They have followed Cain's example and have made the same mistake that Balaam did by caring only for money. They have also rebelled against God, just as Korah did. Because of all this, they will be destroyed.


book: Jude
contenido:
These people are filthy minded, and by their shameful and selfish actions they spoil the meals you eat together. They are like clouds blown along by the wind, but never bringing any rain. They are like leafless trees, uprooted and dead, and unable to produce fruit.


book: Jude
contenido:
Their shameful deeds show up like foam on wild ocean waves. They are like wandering stars forever doomed to the darkest pits of hell.


book: Jude
contenido:
Enoch was the seventh person after Adam, and he was talking about these people when he said: Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of holy angels


book: Jude
contenido:
to judge everyone. He will punish all those ungodly people for all the evil things they have done. The Lord will surely punish those ungodly sinners for every evil thing they have ever said about him.


book: Jude
contenido:
These people grumble and complain and live by their own selfish desires. They brag about themselves and flatter others to get what they want.


book: Jude
contenido:
And now these people are already making you turn against each other. They think only about this life, and they don't have God's Spirit.


book: Jude
contenido:
Dear friends, keep building on the foundation of your most holy faith, as the Holy Spirit helps you to pray.


book: Jude
contenido:
And keep in step with God's love, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to show how kind he is by giving you eternal life.


book: Jude
contenido:
Rescue any who need to be saved, as you would rescue someone from a fire. Then with fear in your own hearts, have mercy on everyone who needs it. But hate even the clothes of those who have been made dirty by their filthy deeds.


book: Jude
contenido:
Offer praise to God our Savior because of our Lord Jesus Christ! Only God can keep you from falling and make you pure and joyful in his glorious presence. Before time began and now and forever, God is worthy of glory, honor, power, and authority. Amen.


book: Rev
contenido:
This is what God showed to Jesus Christ, so that he could tell his servants what must happen soon. Christ then sent his angel with the message to his servant John.


book: Rev
contenido:
And John told everything he had seen about God's message and about what Jesus Christ had said and done.


book: Rev
contenido:
God will bless everyone who reads this prophecy to others, and he will bless everyone who hears and obeys it. The time is almost here.


book: Rev
contenido:
From John to the seven churches in Asia. I pray that you will be blessed with kindness and peace from God, who is and was and is coming. May you receive kindness and peace from the seven spirits before the throne of God.


book: Rev
contenido:
May kindness and peace be yours from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness. Jesus was the first to conquer death, and he is the ruler of all earthly kings. Christ loves us, and by his blood he set us free from our sins.


book: Rev
contenido:
He lets us rule as kings and serve God his Father as priests. To him be glory and power forever and ever! Amen.


book: Rev
contenido:
Look! He is coming with the clouds. Everyone will see him, even the ones who stuck a sword through him. All people on earth will weep because of him. Yes, it will happen! Amen.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Lord God says, “I am Alpha and Omega, the one who is and was and is coming. I am God All-Powerful!”


book: Rev
contenido:
I am John, a follower together with all of you. We suffer because Jesus is our king, but he gives us the strength to endure. I was sent to Patmos Island, because I had preached God's message and had told about Jesus.


book: Rev
contenido:
On the Lord's day the Spirit took control of me, and behind me I heard a loud voice that sounded like a trumpet.


book: Rev
contenido:
The voice said, “Write in a book what you see. Then send it to the seven churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”


book: Rev
contenido:
There with the lampstands was someone who seemed to be the Son of Man. He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet, and a gold cloth was wrapped around his chest.


book: Rev
contenido:
His feet were glowing like bronze being heated in a furnace, and his voice sounded like the roar of a waterfall.


book: Rev
contenido:
He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword was coming from his mouth. His face was shining as bright as the sun at noon.


book: Rev
contenido:
When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead person. But he put his right hand on me and said: Don't be afraid! I am the first, the last,


book: Rev
contenido:
and the living one. I died, but now I am alive forever, and I have the keys to death and the world of the dead.


book: Rev
contenido:
I will explain the mystery of the seven stars you saw at my right side and the seven gold lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the lampstands are the seven churches.


book: Rev
contenido:
This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Ephesus: I am the one who holds the seven stars in my right hand, and I walk among the seven gold lampstands. Listen to what I say.


book: Rev
contenido:
I know everything you have done, including your hard work and how you have endured. I know you won't put up with anyone who is evil. When some people pretended to be apostles, you tested them and found out they were liars.


book: Rev
contenido:
Think about where you have fallen from, and then turn back and do as you did at first. If you don't turn back, I will come and take away your lampstand.


book: Rev
contenido:
If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will let everyone who wins the victory eat from the life-giving tree in God's wonderful garden.


book: Rev
contenido:
This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Smyrna: I am the first and the last. I died, but now I am alive! Listen to what I say.


book: Rev
contenido:
I know how much you suffer and how poor you are, but you are rich. I also know the cruel things being said about you by people who claim to be God's people. But they are not really God's people. They are a group that belongs to Satan.


book: Rev
contenido:
Don't worry about what you will suffer. The devil will throw some of you into jail, and you will be tested and made to suffer for ten days. But if you are faithful until you die, I will reward you with a glorious life.


book: Rev
contenido:
If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. Whoever wins the victory will not be hurt by the second death.


book: Rev
contenido:
This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Pergamum: I am the one who has the sharp double-edged sword! Listen to what I say.


book: Rev
contenido:
I know you live where Satan has his throne. But you have kept true to my name. Right there where Satan lives, my faithful witness Antipas was taken from you and put to death. Even then you did not give up your faith in me.


book: Rev
contenido:
I do have a few things against you. Some of you are following the teaching of Balaam. Long ago he told Balak to teach the people of Israel to eat food that had been offered to idols and to be immoral.


book: Rev
contenido:
Turn back! If you don't, I will come quickly and fight against these people. And my words will cut like a sword.


book: Rev
contenido:
If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To everyone who wins the victory, I will give some of the hidden food. I will also give each one a white stone with a new name written on it. No one will know that name except the one who is given the stone.


book: Rev
contenido:
This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Thyatira: I am the Son of God! My eyes are like flames of fire, and my feet are like bronze. Listen to what I say.


book: Rev
contenido:
I know everything about you, including your love, your faith, your service, and how you have endured. I know you are doing more now than you have ever done before.


book: Rev
contenido:
But I still have something against you because of that woman Jezebel. She calls herself a prophet, and you let her teach and mislead my servants to do immoral things and to eat food offered to idols.


book: Rev
contenido:
I am going to strike down Jezebel. Everyone who does these immoral things with her will also be punished, if they don't stop.


book: Rev
contenido:
I will even kill her followers. Then all the churches will see that I know everyone's thoughts and feelings. I will treat each of you as you deserve.


book: Rev
contenido:
Some of you in Thyatira don't follow Jezebel's teaching. You don't know anything about what her followers call the “deep secrets of Satan.” So I won't burden you down with any other commands.


book: Rev
contenido:
I will give power over the nations to everyone who wins the victory and keeps on obeying me until the end.


book: Rev
contenido:
I will give each of them the same power my Father has given me. They will rule the nations with an iron rod and smash those nations to pieces like clay pots. I will also give them the morning star.


book: Rev
contenido:
This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Sardis: I have the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. Listen to what I say. I know what you are doing. Everyone may think you are alive, but you are dead.


book: Rev
contenido:
Wake up! You have only a little strength left, and it is almost gone. So try to become stronger. I have found that you are not completely obeying God.


book: Rev
contenido:
Remember the teaching you were given and heard. Hold firmly to it and turn from your sins. If you don't wake up, I will come when you least expect it, just as a thief does.


book: Rev
contenido:
A few of you in Sardis have not dirtied your clothes with sin. You will walk with me in white clothes, because you are worthy.


book: Rev
contenido:
Everyone who wins the victory will wear white clothes. Their names will not be erased from the book of life, and I will tell my Father and his angels that they are my followers.


book: Rev
contenido:
This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Philadelphia: I am the one who is holy and true, and I have the keys that belonged to David. When I open a door, no one can close it. And when I close a door, no one can open it. Listen to what I say.


book: Rev
contenido:
I know everything you have done. And I have placed before you an open door no one can close. You were not very strong, but you obeyed my message and did not deny you are my followers.


book: Rev
contenido:
Now you will see what I will do with those people who belong to Satan's group. They claim to be God's people, but they are liars. I will make them come and kneel down at your feet. Then they will know that I love you.


book: Rev
contenido:
You obeyed my message and endured. So I will protect you from the time of testing everyone in all the world must go through.


book: Rev
contenido:
I am coming soon. So hold firmly to what you have, and no one will take away the crown you will be given as your reward.


book: Rev
contenido:
Everyone who wins the victory will be made into a pillar in the temple of my God, and they will stay there forever. I will write on each of them the name of my God and the name of his city. It is the new Jerusalem my God will send down from heaven. I will also write on them my own new name.


book: Rev
contenido:
This is what you must write to the angel of the church in Laodicea: I am the one called Amen! I am the faithful and true witness and the source of God's creation. Listen to what I say.


book: Rev
contenido:
I know everything you have done, and you are not cold or hot. I wish you were either one or the other.


book: Rev
contenido:
You claim to be rich and successful and to have everything you need. But you don't know how bad off you really are. You are pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.


book: Rev
contenido:
Buy your gold from me. It has been refined in a fire, and it will make you rich. Buy white clothes from me. Wear them and you can cover up your shameful nakedness. Buy medicine for your eyes, so you will be able to see.


book: Rev
contenido:
Listen! I am standing and knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will eat together.


book: Rev
contenido:
Everyone who wins the victory will sit with me on my throne, just as I won the victory and sat with my Father on his throne.


book: Rev
contenido:
After this, I looked and saw a door that opened into heaven. Then the voice that had spoken to me at first and that sounded like a trumpet said, “Come up here! I will show you what must happen next.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Right then the Spirit took control of me, and there in heaven I saw a throne and someone sitting on it.


book: Rev
contenido:
The one who was sitting there sparkled like precious stones of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow that looked like an emerald surrounded the throne.


book: Rev
contenido:
Twenty-four other thrones were in a circle around that throne. And on each of these thrones there was an elder dressed in white clothes and wearing a gold crown.


book: Rev
contenido:
Flashes of lightning and roars of thunder came out from the throne in the center of the circle. Seven torches, which are the seven spirits of God, were burning in front of the throne.


book: Rev
contenido:
Also in front of the throne was something that looked like a glass sea, clear as crystal. Around the throne in the center were four living creatures covered front and back with eyes.


book: Rev
contenido:
The first creature was like a lion, the second one was like a bull, the third one had the face of a human, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.


book: Rev
contenido:
Each of the four living creatures had six wings, and their bodies were covered with eyes. Day and night they never stopped singing, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, the all-powerful God, who was and is and is coming!”


book: Rev
contenido:
The living creatures kept praising, honoring, and thanking the one who sits on the throne and who lives forever and ever.


book: Rev
contenido:
At the same time the 24 elders knelt down before the one sitting on the throne. And as they worshiped the one who lives forever, they placed their crowns in front of the throne and said,


book: Rev
contenido:
“Our Lord and God, you are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. You created all things, and by your decision they are and were created.”


book: Rev
contenido:
In the right hand of the one sitting on the throne I saw a scroll that had writing on the inside and on the outside. And it was sealed in seven places.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop crying and look! The one who is called both the ‘Lion from the Tribe of Judah’ and ‘King David's Great Descendant’ has won the victory. He will open the scroll and its seven seals.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I looked and saw a Lamb standing in the center of the throne surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb looked as if it had once been killed. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent out to all the earth.


book: Rev
contenido:
After he had taken it, the four living creatures and the 24 elders knelt down before him. Each of them had a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, which are the prayers of God's people.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then they sang a new song, “You are worthy to receive the scroll and open its seals, because you were killed. And with your own blood you bought for God people from every tribe, language, nation, and race.


book: Rev
contenido:
As I looked, I heard the voices of a large number of angels around the throne and the voices of the living creatures and of the elders. There were millions and millions of them,


book: Rev
contenido:
and they were saying in a loud voice, “The Lamb who was killed is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard all beings in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and in the sea offer praise. Together, all of them were saying, “Praise, honor, glory, and strength forever and ever to the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb!”


book: Rev
contenido:
At the same time I saw the Lamb open the first of the seven seals, I heard one of the four living creatures shout with a voice like thunder. It said, “Come out!”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I saw a white horse. Its rider carried a bow and was given a crown. He had already won some victories, and he went out to win more.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then another horse came out. It was fiery red. And its rider was given the power to take away all peace from the earth, so people would slaughter one another. He was also given a big sword.


book: Rev
contenido:
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come out!” Then I saw a black horse, and its rider had a balance scale in one hand.


book: Rev
contenido:
I heard what sounded like a voice from somewhere among the four living creatures. It said, “A liter of wheat will cost you a whole day's wages! Three liters of barley will cost you a day's wages too. But don't ruin the olive oil or the wine.”


book: Rev
contenido:
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come out!”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I saw a pale green horse. Its rider was named Death, and Death's Kingdom followed close behind. They were given power over one fourth of the earth, and they could kill its people with swords, famines, diseases, and wild animals.


book: Rev
contenido:
When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of everyone who had been killed for speaking God's message and telling about their faith.


book: Rev
contenido:
They shouted, “Master, you are holy and faithful! How long will it be before you judge and punish the people of this earth who killed us?”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then each of those who had been killed was given a white robe and told to rest for a little while. They had to wait until the complete number of the Lord's other servants and followers would be killed.


book: Rev
contenido:
When I saw the Lamb open the sixth seal, I looked and saw a great earthquake. The sun turned as dark as sackcloth, and the moon became red as blood.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the sky was rolled up like a scroll, and all mountains and islands were moved from their places.


book: Rev
contenido:
The kings of the earth, its famous people, and its military leaders hid in caves or behind rocks on the mountains. They hid there together with the rich and the powerful and with all the slaves and free people.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then they shouted to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us! Hide us from the one who sits on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb.


book: Rev
contenido:
After this I saw four angels. Each one was standing on one of the earth's four corners. The angels held back the four winds, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. These angels had also been given the power to harm the earth and the sea. Then I saw another angel come up from where the sun rises in the east, and he was ready to put the mark of the living God on people. He shouted to the four angels,


book: Rev
contenido:
“Don't harm the earth or the sea or any tree! Wait until I have marked the foreheads of the servants of our God.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard how many people had been marked on the forehead. There were 144,000, and they came from every tribe of Israel:


book: Rev
contenido:
After this, I saw a large crowd with more people than could be counted. They were from every race, tribe, nation, and language, and they stood before the throne and before the Lamb. They wore white robes and held palm branches in their hands,


book: Rev
contenido:
as they shouted, “Our God, who sits upon the throne, has the power to save his people, and so does the Lamb.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The angels who stood around the throne knelt in front of it with their faces to the ground. The elders and the four living creatures knelt there with them. Then they all worshiped God


book: Rev
contenido:
and said, “Amen! Praise, glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power, and strength belong to our God forever and ever! Amen!”


book: Rev
contenido:
One of the elders asked me, “Do you know who these people are that are dressed in white robes? Do you know where they come from?”


book: Rev
contenido:
“Sir,” I answered, “you must know.” Then he told me: “These are the ones who have gone through the great suffering. They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and have made them white.


book: Rev
contenido:
And so they stand before the throne of God and worship him in his temple day and night. The one who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.


book: Rev
contenido:
They will never hunger or thirst again, and they won't be troubled by the sun or any scorching heat.


book: Rev
contenido:
The Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. He will lead them to streams of life-giving water, and God will wipe all tears from their eyes.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Another angel, who had a gold container for incense, came and stood at the altar. This one was given a lot of incense to offer with the prayers of God's people on the gold altar in front of the throne.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God's people, went up to God from the hand of the angel.


book: Rev
contenido:
After this, the angel filled the incense container with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth. Thunder roared, lightning flashed, and the earth shook.


book: Rev
contenido:
When the first angel blew his trumpet, hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. A third of the earth, a third of the trees, and a third of all green plants were burned.


book: Rev
contenido:
When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a great fiery mountain was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood,


book: Rev
contenido:
When the third angel blew his trumpet, a great star fell from heaven. It was burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on a third of the springs of water.


book: Rev
contenido:
The name of the star was Bitter, and a third of the water turned bitter. Many people died because the water was so bitter.


book: Rev
contenido:
When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, a third of the sun, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars were struck. They each lost a third of their light. So during a third of the day there was no light, and a third of the night was also without light.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I looked and saw a lone eagle flying across the sky. It was shouting, “Trouble, trouble, trouble to everyone who lives on earth! The other three angels are now going to blow their trumpets.”


book: Rev
contenido:
When the fifth angel blew his trumpet, I saw a star fall from the sky to earth. It was given the key to the tunnel that leads down to the deep pit.


book: Rev
contenido:
As it opened the tunnel, smoke poured out like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air turned dark because of the smoke.


book: Rev
contenido:
Locusts came out of the smoke and covered the earth. They were given the same power that scorpions have.


book: Rev
contenido:
The locusts were told not to harm the grass on the earth or any plant or any tree. They were to punish only those people who did not have God's mark on their foreheads.


book: Rev
contenido:
The locusts were allowed to make them suffer for five months, but not to kill them. The suffering they caused was like the sting of a scorpion.


book: Rev
contenido:
In those days people will want to die, but they will not be able to. They will hope for death, but it will escape from them.


book: Rev
contenido:
These locusts looked like horses ready for battle. On their heads they wore something like gold crowns, and they had human faces.


book: Rev
contenido:
On their chests they wore armor made of iron. Their wings roared like an army of horse-drawn chariots rushing into battle.


book: Rev
contenido:
Their tails were like a scorpion's tail with a stinger that had the power to hurt someone for five months.


book: Rev
contenido:
Their king was the angel in charge of the deep pit. In Hebrew his name was Abaddon, and in Greek it was Apollyon.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet. I heard a voice speak from the four corners of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God.


book: Rev
contenido:
The voice spoke to this angel and said, “Release the four angels who are tied up beside the great Euphrates River.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The four angels had been prepared for this very hour and day and month and year. Now they were set free to kill a third of all people.


book: Rev
contenido:
In my vision their riders wore fiery-red, dark-blue, and yellow armor on their chests. The heads of the horses looked like lions, with fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.


book: Rev
contenido:
One third of all people were killed by the three terrible troubles caused by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur.


book: Rev
contenido:
The people who lived through these terrible troubles did not turn away from the idols they had made, and they did not stop worshiping demons. They kept on worshiping idols that were made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood. Not one of these idols could see, hear, or walk.


book: Rev
contenido:
I saw another powerful angel come down from heaven. This one was covered with a cloud, and a rainbow was over his head. His face was like the sun, his legs were like columns of fire,


book: Rev
contenido:
and with his hand he held a little scroll that had been unrolled. He stood there with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.


book: Rev
contenido:
After the thunder stopped, I was about to write what it had said. But a voice from heaven shouted, “Keep it secret! Don't write these things.”


book: Rev
contenido:
He made a promise in the name of God who lives forever and who created heaven, earth, the sea, and every living creature. The angel said, “You won't have to wait any longer.


book: Rev
contenido:
God told his secret plans to his servants the prophets, and it will all happen by the time the seventh angel sounds his trumpet.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Once again the voice from heaven spoke to me. It said, “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel standing on the sea and the land.”


book: Rev
contenido:
When I went over to ask the angel for the little scroll, the angel said, “Take the scroll and eat it! Your stomach will turn sour, but the taste in your mouth will be sweet as honey.”


book: Rev
contenido:
I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. The taste was sweet as honey, but my stomach turned sour.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then some voices said, “Keep on telling what will happen to the people of many nations, races, and languages, and also to kings.”


book: Rev
contenido:
An angel gave me a measuring stick and said: Measure around God's temple. Be sure to include the altar and everyone worshiping there.


book: Rev
contenido:
But don't measure the courtyard outside the temple building. Leave it out. It has been given to those people who don't know God, and they will trample all over the holy city for 42 months.


book: Rev
contenido:
These two witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand in the presence of the Lord who rules the earth.


book: Rev
contenido:
They have the power to lock up the sky and to keep rain from falling while they are prophesying. And whenever they want to, they can turn water to blood and cause all kinds of terrible troubles on earth.


book: Rev
contenido:
After the two witnesses have finished preaching God's message, the beast that lives in the deep pit will come up and fight against them. It will win the battle and kill them.


book: Rev
contenido:
Their bodies will be left lying in the streets of the same great city where their Lord was nailed to a cross. And this city is spiritually like the city of Sodom or the country of Egypt.


book: Rev
contenido:
For three and a half days the people of every nation, tribe, language, and race will stare at the bodies of these two witnesses and refuse to let them be buried.


book: Rev
contenido:
Everyone on earth will celebrate and be happy. They will give gifts to each other, because of what happened to the two prophets who caused them so much trouble.


book: Rev
contenido:
But three and a half days later, God will breathe life into their bodies. They will stand up, and everyone who sees them will be terrified.


book: Rev
contenido:
The witnesses then heard a loud voice from heaven, saying, “Come up here.” And while their enemies were watching, they were taken up to heaven in a cloud.


book: Rev
contenido:
At that same moment there was a terrible earthquake that destroyed a tenth of the city. Seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were frightened and praised the God who rules in heaven.


book: Rev
contenido:
At the sound of the seventh trumpet, loud voices were heard in heaven. They said, “Now the kingdom of this world belongs to our Lord and to his Chosen One! And he will rule forever and ever!”


book: Rev
contenido:
They said, “Lord God All-Powerful, you are and you were, and we thank you. You used your great power and started ruling.


book: Rev
contenido:
When the nations got angry, you became angry too! Now the time has come for the dead to be judged. It is time for you to reward your servants the prophets and all your people who honor your name, no matter who they are. It is time to destroy everyone who has destroyed the earth.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The door to God's temple in heaven was then opened, and the sacred chest could be seen inside the temple. I saw lightning and heard roars of thunder. The earth trembled and huge hailstones fell to the ground.


book: Rev
contenido:
Something important appeared in the sky. It was a woman whose clothes were the sun. The moon was under her feet, and a crown made of twelve stars was on her head.


book: Rev
contenido:
Something else appeared in the sky. It was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and a crown on each of its seven heads.


book: Rev
contenido:
With its tail, it dragged a third of the stars from the sky and threw them down to the earth. Then the dragon turned toward the woman, because it wanted to eat her child as soon as it was born.


book: Rev
contenido:
The woman gave birth to a son, who would rule all nations with an iron rod. The boy was snatched away. He was taken to God and placed on his throne.


book: Rev
contenido:
The woman ran into the desert to a place that God had prepared for her. There she would be taken care of for 1,260 days.


book: Rev
contenido:
and were thrown down to the earth. Yes, that old snake and his angels were thrown out of heaven! That snake, who fools everyone on earth, is known as the devil and Satan.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard a voice from heaven shout, “Our God has shown his saving power, and his kingdom has come! God's own Chosen One has shown his authority. Satan accused our people in the presence of God day and night. Now he has been thrown out!


book: Rev
contenido:
“Our people defeated Satan because of the blood of the Lamb and the message of God. They were willing to give up their lives.


book: Rev
contenido:
“The heavens should rejoice, together with everyone who lives there. But pity the earth and the sea, because the devil was thrown down to the earth. He knows his time is short, and he is very angry.”


book: Rev
contenido:
When the dragon realized it had been thrown down to the earth, it tried to make trouble for the woman who had given birth to a son.


book: Rev
contenido:
But the woman was given two wings like those of a huge eagle, so she could fly into the desert. There she would escape from the snake and be taken care of for a time, two times, and half a time.


book: Rev
contenido:
This made the dragon terribly angry with the woman. So it started a war against the rest of her children. They are the people who obey God and are faithful to what Jesus did and taught.


book: Rev
contenido:
I looked and saw a beast coming up from the sea. This one had ten horns and seven heads, and a crown was on each of its ten horns. On each of its heads were names that were an insult to God.


book: Rev
contenido:
The beast I saw had the body of a leopard, the feet of a bear, and the mouth of a lion. The dragon handed over its own power and throne and great authority to this beast.


book: Rev
contenido:
One of its heads seemed to have been fatally wounded, but now it was well. Everyone on earth marveled at this beast,


book: Rev
contenido:
and they worshiped the dragon who had given its authority to the beast. They also worshiped the beast and said, “No one is like this beast! No one can fight against it.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The beast cursed God, and it cursed the name of God. It even cursed the place where God lives, as well as everyone who lives in heaven with God.


book: Rev
contenido:
It was allowed to fight against God's people and defeat them. It was also given authority over the people of every tribe, nation, language, and race.


book: Rev
contenido:
The beast was worshiped by everyone whose name wasn't written before the time of creation in the book of the Lamb who was killed.


book: Rev
contenido:
If you are doomed to be captured, you will be captured. If you are doomed to be killed by a sword, you will be killed by a sword. This means God's people must learn to endure and be faithful!


book: Rev
contenido:
I now saw another beast. This one came out of the ground. It had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon.


book: Rev
contenido:
It worked for the beast whose fatal wound had been healed. And it used all its authority to force the earth and its people to worship that beast.


book: Rev
contenido:
This second beast fooled people on earth by working miracles for the first one. Then it talked them into making an idol in the form of the beast that did not die after being wounded by a sword.


book: Rev
contenido:
It was allowed to put breath into the idol, so it could speak. Everyone who refused to worship the idol of the beast was put to death.


book: Rev
contenido:
All people were forced to put a mark on their right hand or forehead. Whether they were powerful or weak, rich or poor, free people or slaves,


book: Rev
contenido:
they all had to have this mark, or else they could not buy or sell anything. This mark stood for the name of the beast and for the number of its name.


book: Rev
contenido:
You need wisdom to understand the number of the beast! But if you are smart enough, you can figure this out. Its number is 666, and it stands for a person.


book: Rev
contenido:
I looked and saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion! With him were 144,000, who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard a sound from heaven that was like a roaring flood or loud thunder or even like the music of harps.


book: Rev
contenido:
And a new song was being sung in front of God's throne and in front of the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn that song, except the 144,000 who had been rescued from the earth.


book: Rev
contenido:
All of these are pure virgins, and they follow the Lamb wherever he leads. They have been rescued to be presented to God and the Lamb as the most precious people on earth.


book: Rev
contenido:
I saw another angel. This one was flying across the sky and had the eternal good news to announce to the people of every race, tribe, language, and nation on earth.


book: Rev
contenido:
The angel shouted, “Worship and honor God! The time has come for him to judge everyone. Kneel down before the one who created heaven and earth, the oceans, and every stream.”


book: Rev
contenido:
A second angel followed and said, “The great city of Babylon has fallen! This is the city that made all nations drunk and immoral. Now God is angry, and Babylon has fallen.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Finally, a third angel came and shouted: Here is what will happen if you worship the beast and the idol and have the mark of the beast on your hand or forehead.


book: Rev
contenido:
You will have to drink the wine that God gives to everyone who makes him angry. You will feel his mighty anger, and you will be tortured with fire and burning sulfur, while the holy angels and the Lamb look on.


book: Rev
contenido:
If you worship the beast and the idol and accept the mark of its name, you will be tortured day and night. The smoke from your torture will go up forever and ever, and you will never be able to rest.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Put this in writing. From now on, the Lord will bless everyone who has faith in him when they die.” The Spirit answered, “Yes, they will rest from their hard work, and they will be rewarded for what they have done.”


book: Rev
contenido:
I looked and saw a bright cloud, and someone who seemed to be the Son of Man was sitting on the cloud. He wore a gold crown on his head and held a sharp sickle in his hand.


book: Rev
contenido:
An angel came out of the temple and shouted, “Start cutting with your sickle! Harvest season is here, and all crops on earth are ripe.”


book: Rev
contenido:
After this, an angel with power over fire came from the altar and shouted to the angel who had the sickle. He said, “All grapes on earth are ripe! Harvest them with your sharp sickle.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The angel swung his sickle on earth and cut off its grapes. He threw them into a pit where they were trampled on as a sign of God's anger.


book: Rev
contenido:
The pit was outside the city, and when the grapes were mashed, blood flowed out. The blood turned into a river that was about 300 kilometers long and almost deep enough to cover a horse.


book: Rev
contenido:
After this, I looked at the sky and saw something else that was strange and important. Seven angels were bringing the seven last terrible troubles. When these are ended, God will no longer be angry.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I saw something that looked like a glass sea mixed with fire, and people were standing on it. They were the ones who had defeated the beast and the idol and the number that tells the name of the beast. God had given them harps,


book: Rev
contenido:
and they were singing the song his servant Moses and the Lamb had sung. They were singing, “Lord God All-Powerful, you have done great and marvelous things. You are the ruler of all nations, and you do what is right and fair.


book: Rev
contenido:
Lord, who doesn't honor and praise your name? You alone are holy, and all nations will come and worship you, because you have shown that you judge with fairness.”


book: Rev
contenido:
And the seven angels who were bringing the terrible troubles were coming out of it. They were dressed in robes of pure white linen and wore belts made of pure gold.


book: Rev
contenido:
One of the four living creatures gave each of the seven angels a bowl made of gold. These bowls were filled with the anger of God who lives forever and ever.


book: Rev
contenido:
The temple quickly filled with smoke from the glory and power of God. No one could enter it until the seven angels had finished pouring out the seven last troubles.


book: Rev
contenido:
From the temple I heard a voice shout to the seven angels, “Go and empty the seven bowls of God's anger on the earth.”


book: Rev
contenido:
The first angel emptied his bowl on the earth. At once ugly and painful sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and worshiped the idol.


book: Rev
contenido:
The second angel emptied his bowl on the sea. At once the sea turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard the angel, who has power over water, say, “You have always been, and you always will be the holy God. You had the right to judge in this way.


book: Rev
contenido:
They poured out the blood of your people and your prophets. So you gave them blood to drink as they deserve!”


book: Rev
contenido:
After this, I heard the altar shout, “Yes, Lord God All-Powerful, your judgments are honest and fair.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Everyone was scorched by its great heat, and all of them cursed the name of God who had power over these terrible troubles. But no one turned to God and praised him.


book: Rev
contenido:
The fifth angel emptied his bowl on the throne of the beast. At once darkness covered its kingdom, and its people began biting their tongues in pain.


book: Rev
contenido:
And because of their painful sores, they cursed the God who rules in heaven. But still they did not stop doing evil things.


book: Rev
contenido:
The sixth angel emptied his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it completely dried up to make a road for the kings from the east.


book: Rev
contenido:
An evil spirit that looked like a frog came out of the mouth of the dragon. One also came out of the mouth of the beast, and another out of the mouth of the false prophet.


book: Rev
contenido:
These evil spirits had the power to work miracles. They went to every king on earth, to bring them together for a war against God All-Powerful. But that will be the day of God's great victory.


book: Rev
contenido:
Remember Christ says, “When I come, it will surprise you like a thief! But God will bless you, if you are awake and ready. Then you won't have to walk around naked and be ashamed.”


book: Rev
contenido:
As soon as the seventh angel emptied his bowl in the air, a loud voice from the throne in the temple shouted, “It's done!”


book: Rev
contenido:
The great city of Babylon split into three parts, and the cities of other nations fell. So God made Babylon drink from the wine cup filled with his anger.


book: Rev
contenido:
Hailstones, weighing about 50 kilograms each, fell from the sky on people. Finally, the people cursed God, because the hail was so terrible.


book: Rev
contenido:
One of the seven angels who had emptied the bowls came over and said to me, “Come on! I will show you how God will punish that shameless prostitute who sits on many oceans.


book: Rev
contenido:
Every king on earth has slept with her, and her shameless ways are like wine that has made everyone on earth drunk.”


book: Rev
contenido:
With the help of the Spirit, the angel took me into a desert, where I saw a woman sitting on a red beast. The beast was covered with names that were an insult to God, and it had seven heads and ten horns.


book: Rev
contenido:
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet robes, and she wore jewelry made of gold, precious stones, and pearls. In her hand she held a gold cup filled with the filthy and nasty things she had done.


book: Rev
contenido:
On her forehead a mysterious name was written: I AM THE GREAT CITY OF BABYLON, THE MOTHER OF EVERY IMMORAL AND FILTHY THING ON EARTH.


book: Rev
contenido:
I could tell that the woman was drunk on the blood of God's people who had given their lives for Jesus. This surprising sight amazed me,


book: Rev
contenido:
and the angel said: Why are you so amazed? I will explain the mystery about this woman and about the beast she is sitting on, with its seven heads and ten horns.


book: Rev
contenido:
The beast you saw is one that used to be and no longer is. It will come back from the deep pit, but only to be destroyed. Everyone on earth whose names were not written in the book of life before the time of creation will be amazed. They will see this beast that used to be and no longer is, but will be once more.


book: Rev
contenido:
Anyone with wisdom can figure this out. The seven heads that the woman is sitting on stand for seven hills. These heads are also seven kings.


book: Rev
contenido:
Five of the kings are dead. One is ruling now, and the other one has not yet come. But when he does, he will rule for only a little while.


book: Rev
contenido:
You also saw a beast that used to be and no longer is. That beast is one of the seven kings who will return as the eighth king, but only to be destroyed.


book: Rev
contenido:
The ten horns you saw are ten more kings, who have not yet come into power, and they will rule with the beast for only a short time.


book: Rev
contenido:
These kings will go to war against the Lamb. But he will defeat them, because he is Lord over all lords and King over all kings. His followers are chosen and special and faithful.


book: Rev
contenido:
The ten horns and the beast will start hating the shameless woman. They will strip off her clothes and leave her naked. Then they will eat her flesh and throw the rest of her body into a fire.


book: Rev
contenido:
God is the one who made these kings all think alike and decide to give their power to the beast. And they will do this until what God has said comes true.


book: Rev
contenido:
I saw another angel come from heaven. This one had great power, and the earth was bright because of his glory.


book: Rev
contenido:
The angel shouted, “Fallen! Powerful Babylon has fallen and is now the home of demons. It is the den of every filthy spirit and of all unclean birds, and every dirty and hated animal.


book: Rev
contenido:
Babylon's evil and immoral wine has made all nations drunk. Every king on earth has slept with her, and every merchant on earth is rich because of her evil desires.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard another voice from heaven shout, “My people, you must escape from Babylon. Don't take part in her sins and share her punishment.


book: Rev
contenido:
Treat her as she has treated others. Make her pay double for what she has done. Make her drink twice as much of what she mixed for others.


book: Rev
contenido:
That woman honored herself with a life of luxury. Reward her now with suffering and pain. “Deep in her heart Babylon said, ‘I am the queen! Never will I be a widow or know what it means to be sad.’


book: Rev
contenido:
And so, in a single day she will suffer the pain of sorrow, hunger, and death. Fire will destroy her dead body, because her judge is the powerful Lord God.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Every king on earth who slept with her and shared in her luxury will mourn. They will weep, when they see the smoke from that fire.


book: Rev
contenido:
Her sufferings will frighten them, and they will stand at a distance and say, “Pity that great and powerful city! Pity Babylon! In a single hour her judgment has come.”


book: Rev
contenido:
There won't be anyone to buy their gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, sweet-smelling wood, fancy carvings of ivory and wood, as well as things made of bronze, iron, or marble.


book: Rev
contenido:
No one will buy their cinnamon, spices, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, slaves, and other humans.


book: Rev
contenido:
Babylon, the things your heart desired have all escaped from you. Every luxury and all your glory will be lost forever. You will never get them back.


book: Rev
contenido:
The merchants had become rich because of her. But when they saw her sufferings, they were terrified. They stood at a distance, crying and mourning.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then they shouted, “Pity the great city of Babylon! She dressed in fine linen and wore purple and scarlet cloth. She had jewelry made of gold and precious stones and pearls.


book: Rev
contenido:
Yet in a single hour her riches disappeared.” Every ship captain and passenger and sailor stood at a distance, together with everyone who does business by traveling on the sea.


book: Rev
contenido:
They cried loudly, and in their sorrow they threw dust on their heads, as they said, “Pity the great city of Babylon! Everyone who sailed the seas became rich from her treasures. But in a single hour the city was destroyed.


book: Rev
contenido:
The heavens should be happy with God's people and apostles and prophets. God has punished her for them.”


book: Rev
contenido:
A powerful angel then picked up a huge stone and threw it into the sea. The angel said, “This is how the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to rise again.


book: Rev
contenido:
The music of harps and singers and of flutes and trumpets will no longer be heard. No workers will ever set up shop in that city, and the sound of grinding grain will be silenced forever.


book: Rev
contenido:
Lamps will no longer shine anywhere in Babylon, and couples will never again say wedding vows there. Her merchants ruled the earth, and by her witchcraft she fooled all nations.


book: Rev
contenido:
On the streets of Babylon is found the blood of God's people and of his prophets, and everyone else.”


book: Rev
contenido:
After this, I heard what sounded like a lot of voices in heaven, and they were shouting, “Praise the Lord! To our God belongs the glorious power to save,


book: Rev
contenido:
because his judgments are honest and fair. That filthy prostitute ruined the earth with shameful deeds. But God has judged her and made her pay the price for murdering his servants.”


book: Rev
contenido:
After this, the 24 elders and the four living creatures all knelt before the throne of God and worshiped him. They said, “Amen! Praise the Lord!”


book: Rev
contenido:
From the throne a voice said, “If you worship and fear our God, give praise to him, no matter who you are.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I heard what seemed to be a large crowd that sounded like a roaring flood and loud thunder all mixed together. They were saying, “Praise the Lord! Our Lord God All-Powerful now rules as king.


book: Rev
contenido:
So we will be glad and happy and give him praise. The wedding day of the Lamb is here, and his bride is ready.


book: Rev
contenido:
She will be given a wedding dress made of pure and shining linen. This linen stands for the good things God's people have done.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the angel told me, “Put this in writing. God will bless everyone who is invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” The angel also said, “These things God has said are true.”


book: Rev
contenido:
I knelt at the feet of the angel and began to worship him. But the angel said, “Don't do that! I am a servant, just like you and everyone else who tells about Jesus. Don't worship anyone but God. Everyone who tells about Jesus does it by the power of the Spirit.”


book: Rev
contenido:
I looked and saw heaven was open, and a white horse was there. Its rider was called Faithful and True, and he is always fair when he judges or goes to war.


book: Rev
contenido:
He had eyes like flames of fire, and he was wearing a lot of crowns. His name was written on him, but he was the only one who knew what the name meant.


book: Rev
contenido:
He was followed by armies from heaven that rode on white horses and were dressed in pure white linen.


book: Rev
contenido:
From his mouth a sharp sword went out to attack the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod and will show the fierce anger of God All-Powerful by trampling the grapes in the pit where wine is made.


book: Rev
contenido:
I then saw an angel standing on the sun, and he shouted to all the birds flying in the sky, “Come and join in God's great feast!


book: Rev
contenido:
You can eat the flesh of kings, rulers, leaders, horses, riders, free people, slaves, important people, and everyone else.”


book: Rev
contenido:
I also saw the beast and all kings of the earth come together. They fought against the rider on the white horse and against his army.


book: Rev
contenido:
But the beast was captured and so was the false prophet. This is the same prophet who had worked miracles for the beast, so he could fool everyone who had the mark of the beast and worshiped the idol. The beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into a lake of burning sulfur.


book: Rev
contenido:
But the rest of their army was killed by the sword that came from the mouth of the rider on the horse. Then birds stuffed themselves on the dead bodies.


book: Rev
contenido:
He chained the dragon for 1,000 years. It is that old snake, who is also known as the devil and Satan.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the angel threw the dragon into the pit. He locked and sealed it, so 1,000 years would go by before the dragon could fool the nations again. But after that, it would have to be set free for a little while.


book: Rev
contenido:
I saw thrones, and sitting on those thrones were the ones who had been given the right to judge. I also saw the souls of the people who had their heads cut off because they had told about Jesus and preached God's message. They were the same ones who had not worshiped the beast or the idol, and they had refused to let its mark be put on their foreheads or hands. They will come to life and rule with Christ for 1,000 years.


book: Rev
contenido:
These people are the first to be raised to life, and they are especially blessed and holy. The second death has no power over them. They will be priests for God and Christ and will rule with them for 1,000 years. No other dead people were raised to life until 1,000 years later.


book: Rev
contenido:
He will fool the countries of Gog and Magog, which are at the far ends of the earth, and their people will follow him into battle. They will have as many followers as there are grains of sand along the beach,


book: Rev
contenido:
and they will march all the way across the earth. They will surround the camp of God's people and the city God loves. But fire will come down from heaven and destroy the whole army.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the devil who fooled them will be thrown into the lake of fire and burning sulfur. He will be there with the beast and the false prophet, and they will be in pain day and night forever and ever.


book: Rev
contenido:
I saw a great white throne with someone sitting on it. Earth and heaven tried to run away, but there was no place for them to go.


book: Rev
contenido:
I also saw all the dead people standing in front of that throne. Every one of them was there, no matter who they had once been. Several books were opened, and then the book of life was opened. The dead were judged by what those books said they had done.


book: Rev
contenido:
The sea gave up the dead people who were in it, and death and its kingdom also gave up their dead. Then everyone was judged by what they had done.


book: Rev
contenido:
I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and so had the sea.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then I saw New Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down from God in heaven. It was like a bride dressed in her wedding gown and ready to meet her husband.


book: Rev
contenido:
I heard a loud voice shout from the throne: God's home is now with his people. He will live with them, and they will be his own. Yes, God will make his home among his people.


book: Rev
contenido:
He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. These things of the past are gone forever.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then the one sitting on the throne said: I am making everything new. Write down what I have said. My words are true and can be trusted.


book: Rev
contenido:
Everything is finished! I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will freely give water from the life-giving fountain to everyone who is thirsty.


book: Rev
contenido:
All who win the victory will be given these blessings. I will be their God, and they will be my people.


book: Rev
contenido:
But I will tell you what will happen to cowards and to everyone who is unfaithful or dirty-minded or who murders or is sexually immoral or uses witchcraft or worships idols or tells lies. They will be thrown into that lake of fire and burning sulfur. This is the second death.


book: Rev
contenido:
I saw one of the seven angels who had the bowls filled with the seven last terrible troubles. The angel came to me and said, “Come on! I will show you the one who will be the bride and wife of the Lamb.”


book: Rev
contenido:
Then with the help of the Spirit, he took me to the top of a very high mountain. There he showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down from God in heaven.


book: Rev
contenido:
The glory of God made the city bright. It was dazzling and crystal clear like a precious jasper stone.


book: Rev
contenido:
The city had a high and thick wall with twelve gates, and each one of them was guarded by an angel. On each of the gates was written the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.


book: Rev
contenido:
Three of these gates were on the east, three were on the north, three more were on the south, and the other three were on the west.


book: Rev
contenido:
The city was built on twelve foundation stones. On each of the stones was written the name of one of the Lamb's twelve apostles.


book: Rev
contenido:
The angel who spoke to me had a gold measuring stick to measure the city and its gates and its walls.


book: Rev
contenido:
The city was shaped like a cube, because it was just as high as it was wide. When the angel measured the city, it was about 2,400 kilometers high and 2,400 kilometers wide.


book: Rev
contenido:
Each of the twelve foundations was a precious stone. The first was jasper, the second was sapphire, the third was agate, the fourth was emerald,


book: Rev
contenido:
the fifth was onyx, the sixth was carnelian, the seventh was chrysolite, the eighth was beryl, the ninth was topaz, the tenth was chrysoprase, the eleventh was jacinth, and the twelfth was amethyst.


book: Rev
contenido:
Each of the twelve gates was a solid pearl. The streets of the city were made of pure gold, clear as crystal.


book: Rev
contenido:
And the city did not need the sun or the moon. The glory of God was shining on it, and the Lamb was its light.


book: Rev
contenido:
But nothing unworthy will be allowed to enter. No one who is dirty-minded or who tells lies will be there. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life will be in the city.


book: Rev
contenido:
The angel showed me a river that was crystal clear, and its waters gave life. The river came from the throne where God and the Lamb were seated.


book: Rev
contenido:
Then it flowed down the middle of the city's main street. On each side of the river are trees that grow a different kind of fruit each month of the year. The fruit gives life, and the leaves are used as medicine to heal the nations.


book: Rev
