<woj>And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for <cr>1</cr>the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.</woj>

<woj><cr>1</cr>For as were the days of Noah, <cr>2</cr>so will be the coming of the Son of Man.</woj>

Matthew 24:37

<woj><cr>1</cr>For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, <cr>2</cr>marrying and giving in marriage, until <cr>3</cr>the day when Noah entered the ark,</woj>

Matthew 24:38

<woj>and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, <cr>1</cr>so will be the coming of the Son of Man.</woj>

Matthew 24:39

<woj>Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left.</woj>

<woj><cr>1</cr>But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night <cr>2</cr>the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.</woj>

Matthew 24:43

<woj>Therefore you also must be <cr>1</cr>ready, for <cr>2</cr>the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.</woj>

Matthew 24:44

<woj>“Who then is <cr>1</cr>the faithful and <cr>2</cr>wise servant,<ft>1</ft> whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?</woj>

Matthew 24:45

<woj><cr>1</cr>Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.</woj>

Matthew 24:46

<woj>Truly, I say to you, <cr>1</cr>he will set him over all his possessions.</woj>

Matthew 24:47

<woj>But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master <cr>1</cr>is delayed,’</woj>

Matthew 24:48

<woj>and begins to beat his fellow servants<ft>1</ft> and eats and drinks with <cr>1</cr>drunkards,</woj>

<woj>the master of that servant will come <cr>1</cr>on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know</woj>

Matthew 24:50

<woj>and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place <cr>1</cr>there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.</woj>

Matthew 24:51

 1  Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you,  there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” 3 As he sat on  the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him  privately, saying, “Tell us,  when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your  coming and of  the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them,  “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For  many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am  the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you  are not alarmed, for this  must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For  nation will rise against nation, and  kingdom against kingdom, and there will be  famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of  the birth pains. 9 “Then  they will deliver you up  to tribulation and  put you to death, and  you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away  and  betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many  false prophets will arise  and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased,  the love of many will grow cold. 13  But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom  will be proclaimed throughout the whole world  as a testimony  to all nations, and  then the end will come. 15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation  spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in  the holy place ( let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17  Let the one who is on  the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And  alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be  great tribulation,  such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for  the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23  Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For  false christs and  false prophets will arise and  perform great signs and wonders,  so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See,  I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look,  he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27  For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be  the coming of the Son of Man. 28  Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. 29 “Immediately after  the tribulation of those days  the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and  the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then  will appear in heaven  the sign of the Son of Man, and then  all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and  they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven  with power and great glory. 31 And  he will send out his angels with a loud  trumpet call, and they will  gather  his elect from  the four winds,  from one end of heaven to the other. 32 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near,  at the very gates. 34  Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but  my words will not pass away. 36 “But concerning that day and hour  no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,  nor the Son,  but the Father only. 37  For as were the days of Noah,  so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38  For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking,  marrying and giving in marriage, until  the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away,  so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41  Two women will be grinding  at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore,  stay awake, for you do not know on what day  your Lord is coming. 43  But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night  the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be  ready, for  the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 45 “Who then is  the faithful and  wise servant,  whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46  Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly, I say to you,  he will set him over all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master  is delayed,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants  and eats and drinks with  drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come  on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites.

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
