Revelation 1:1-6

Living_Oracles(i) 1 A revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants the things which must shortly be; and sending by his messenger, he signified them to his servant John, 2 who testified the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatever he saw. 3 Happy is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it; for the time is at hand. 4 John, to the seven congregation which are in Asia; favor and peace be with you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne; 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who has loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and has made us kings and priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
