Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ ^(1:2) John, to the seven churches in Asia. Grace and peace be to you, from the Is and the Was and the Is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne, ⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us and washed us from our sins with his blood, ⁶ and made us a kingdom, priests to God even his Father, to him be the glory and the power forever; amen.
