But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak;for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.“ Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
