American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same {Or, flood}excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived {Or, luxuriously}wantonly with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her burning,
and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like the great city?
The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold;And a man is tried by {Or, that which he praiseth Or, that whereof he boasteth}his praise.
In God (I will praise his word),In Jehovah (I will praise his word),
And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen unto him,
Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein they that {Greek: walked.}occupied themselves were not profited.
