Revelation 1:5-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
To Him who loves us and has set us free[a] from our sins by His blood, 6 and made us a kingdom,[b] priests[c](A) to His God and Father—the glory and dominion are His forever and ever. Amen.
7 Look! He is coming with the clouds,(B)
and every eye will see Him,
including those who pierced[d] Him.
And all the families of the earth[e](C)[f]
will mourn over Him.[g](D)[h]
This is certain. Amen.
