MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ John, to the seven congregations in Asia. Grace be with you and peace, from him which is and which was, and which is to come: and from the seven spirits which are present before his throne, ⁵ and from Jesus Christ which is a faithful witness, and first begotten of the dead: and Lord over the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood, ⁶ and made us kings and priests unto God his father, be glory, and dominion for evermore amen. ⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him: and they also which pierced him. And all kindreds of the earth shall wail. Even so, amen. ⁸ "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending," saith the Lord almighty, which is and which was and which is to come. ⁹ John, your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience which is in Jesus Christ, was in the isle of Patmos for the word of God, and for the witnessing of Jesus Christ.
