In my Father's house are many {Or, abiding-places}mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and {Greek: glorified.}full of glory:

I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add {Greek: upon.}unto them, God shall add {Greek: upon.}unto him the plagues which are written in this book:
He who testifieth these things saith, Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus.
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the {Or, fortress}tower, and will look forth to see what he will speak {Or, by}with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint.
