13 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom has been reserved the gloom of darkness for eternity. (aiōn g165)

17 But ye, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
But do ye, my beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the legates of our Lord Jesus the Messiah;

24 But to him that is able to keep you without stumbling, and to set [you] with exultation blameless before his glory,
And to him who is able to preserve you faultless, and spotless, and to establish you without a blemish,
25 to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, [be] glory, majesty, might, and authority, from before the whole age, and now, and to all the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
before his majesty, with joy, namely, the only God, our Deliverer, by means of Jesus the Messiah our Lord, be praise, and dominion, and honor, and majesty, both now and in all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
