\v 11 Our fellow believers defeated him because the Lamb had shed his blood and died for them
\q1 and because they spoke the truth about him to other people.
\q1 They did not seek to remain alive,
\q1 but were willing to let people kill them for speaking the truth about him.
\v 13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four corners of the golden altar that is in God's presence.
\v 14 That voice was saying to the sixth angel, the one who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are tied up at the great river Euphrates."
\v 15 Then those four angels went free. They were the angels who were waiting for that exact hour of that day, month, and year. They went free in order that they might help their soldiers kill one-third of the people.
