DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace, from him that is and that was and that is to come: and from the seven spirits which are before his throne: ⁵ And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood ⁶ And hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father. To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. ⁷ Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him: and they also that pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall bewail themselves because of him. Even so. Amen. ⁸ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. ⁹ I, John, your brother and your partner in tribulation and in the kingdom and patience in Christ Jesus, was in the island which is called Patmos, for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus.
