Marko 13:20

Kama Bwana asingelifupisha siku hizo, kamwe asingeliokoka mtu yeyote. Lakini kwa ajili ya wateule, wale aliowachagua, amezifupisha siku hizo.

And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
