New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Signs of the End

5 “Now concerning the signs: behold, the days are coming when those who inhabit the earth shall be seized with great terror,^[a] and the way of truth shall be hidden, and the land shall be barren of faith.^{(A) 2} Unrighteousness shall be increased beyond what you yourself see and beyond what you heard of formerly.
