Therefore, beloved, since y’all know these things beforehand, be on guard so that y’all won’t be led astray by the error of the wicked, and fall from your* firm condition.
He said, “Y’all watch out that you* don’t get led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Y’all must not follow them.
“But y’all be careful, or y’all’s hearts will be weighed down with intoxication, drunkenness, and the worries of this life, and that day will come down on y’all unexpectedly like a trap.
“But y’all must be on guard. For they will deliver y’all up to councils, and y’all will be beaten in synagogues. Y’all will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, as a witness to them.
