Matthew 24:5-14
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
5 For[a] many will come on the basis of My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ’. And they will deceive many. 6 And you will-certainly[b] hear-of wars and rumors of wars. See[c] that you are not alarmed! For they must take place, but it is not yet the end. 7 For nation will arise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 But all these things are[d] a beginning of birth-pains. 9 Then[e] they will hand you over to affliction, and they will kill you. And you will be being hated by all the nations because of My name. 10 And then[f] many will be caused-to-fall, and will hand one another over, and will hate one another. 11 And many false-prophets will arise and deceive many. 12 And the love of the majority will grow cold because of lawlessness being multiplied. 13 But the one having endured to the end[g]— this one will be saved. 14 And this good-news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations. And then the end[h] will come.

New International Version
5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.(A) 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(B) There will be famines(C) and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted(D) and put to death,(E) and you will be hated by all nations because of me.(F) 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets(G) will appear and deceive many people.(H) 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(I) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom(J) will be preached in the whole world(K) as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
