Matthew 24:5-12 Bible in Basic English (BBE)

5 For people will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and a number will be turned from the true way through them.

6 And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end.

7 For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places;

8 But all these things are the first of the troubles.

9 Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.

10 And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another.

11 And a number of false prophets will come, causing error.

12 And because wrongdoing will be increased, the love of most people will become cold.
