Revelation 1:1-6

ACV(i) 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave him to show his bondmen what must happen quickly. And he signified it, having sent by his agent to his bondman John 2 who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and who keep the things written in it, for the time is near. 4 John, to the seven congregations in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and washed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him is the glory and the dominion into the ages of the ages. Truly.
