Yea, and all prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Remember them which have rule over you, who have spoken unto you word of God: whose faith follow, considering end of their conversation.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving end of your faith, even salvation of your souls. Of which salvation prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand sufferings of Christ, and glory that should follow.

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached gospel unto you with Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. Wherefore gird up loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to end for grace that is to be brought unto you at revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as voice of many waters, and as voice of a great thunder: and I heard voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before throne, and before four beasts, and elders: and no man could learn that song but hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits unto God and to Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before throne of God.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are dead which die in Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. And armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in ear, that preach ye upon housetops.

The queen of south shall rise up in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from uttermost parts of earth to hear wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Then shall righteous shine forth as sun in kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And he called multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: And Jesus answered him, The first of all commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear word of God, and do it.

And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him. And there came a voice out of cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and prophets; let them hear them. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from dead. And Lord said, Hear what unjust judge saith.

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but end is not by and by.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when dead shall hear voice of Son of God: and they that hear shall live. Marvel not at this: for hour is coming, in which all that are in graves shall hear his voice.

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but will of Father which hath sent me. He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

To him porter openeth; and sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but sheep did not hear them. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge world, but to save world. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and word which ye hear is not mine, but Father's which sent me.

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Therefore being by right hand of God exalted, and having received of Father promise of Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

For Moses truly said unto fathers, A prophet shall Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among people. This is that Moses, which said unto children of Israel, A prophet shall Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for time is at hand.
