"When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, 'Come and see.' So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, 'A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.'"   God bless you.

"When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, 'Come and see.' Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill on another; and there was given to him a great sword."   God bless you.

"Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, 'Come and see', And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer."   God bless you.

Titus 1:1-16 (Good News Translation)  1From Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ.          I was chosen and sent to help the faith of God's chosen people and to lead them to the truth taught by our religion,           2which is based on the hope for eternal life. God, who does not lie, promised us this life before the beginning of time,           3and at the right time he revealed it in his message. This was entrusted to me, and I proclaim it by order of God our Savior.           4I write to Titus, my true son in the faith that we have in common.          May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior give you grace and peace.           5I left you in Crete, so that you could put in order the things that still needed doing and appoint church elders in every town. Remember my instructions:           6an elder must be without fault; he must have only one wife,           and his children must be believers and not have the reputation of being wild or disobedient. ...

2 Timothy 4:1-22 (Good News Translation)  1In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and because he is coming to rule as King, I solemnly urge you           2to preach the message, to insist upon proclaiming it (whether the time is right or not), to convince, reproach, and encourage, as you teach with all patience.           3The time will come when people will not listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect for themselves more and more teachers who will tell them what they are itching to hear.           4They will turn away from listening to the truth and give their attention to legends.           5But you must keep control of yourself in all circumstances; endure suffering, do the work of a preacher of the Good News, and perform your whole duty as a servant of God.           6As for me, the hour has come for me to be sacrificed; the time is here for me to leave this life.           7I have done my best in...

"But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is to preach to you a gospel contrary to what you receieved, he is to be accursed."   God bless you.

2 Timothy 3:1-17 (Good News Translation)  1Remember that there will be difficult times in the last days.           2People will be selfish, greedy, boastful, and conceited; they will be insulting, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and irreligious;           3they will be unkind, merciless, slanderers, violent, and fierce; they will hate the good;           4they will be treacherous, reckless, and swollen with pride; they will love pleasure rather than God;           5they will hold to the outward form of our religion, but reject its real power. Keep away from such people.           6Some of them go into people's houses and gain control over weak women who are burdened by the guilt of their sins and driven by all kinds of desires,           7women who are always trying to learn but who can never come to know the truth.           8As Jannes and Jambres were opposed to Moses, so also these people are opposed to the truth—people whose minds do not function and who are fail...
