Goodspeed(i)
1 A revelation made by Jesus Christ which God gave him to disclose to his slaves of what must very soon happen. He sent and communicated it by his angel to his slave John,
2 who testifies to what he saw—to the message of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the man who reads this prophecy and those who hear it read and heed what is written in it, for the time is near.
4 John to the seven churches in Asia, blessing and peace to you from him who is and was and is coming, and from the seven spirits before his throne,
5 and from Jesus Christ the trustworthy witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the sovereign of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has released us from our sins by his blood
6 he has made us a kingdom of priests for his God and Father—to him be glory and power forever. Amen.
