Revelation 1:5-7
Worldwide English (New Testament)

5 May Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace. What he says is true. He was the first to rise from death. And he is ruler of the kings of the earth. He loves us. By his own blood [death] he has made us free from the wrong things we have done.

6 He has made us into kings and priests to his God and Father. Praise him! He is great and has power for ever! Yes, it is so!

7 Watch! He will come in the clouds. Every one will see him. Those who stuck a spear in him will also see him. All the tribes on earth will cry when they see him. That is the way it will be. Yes it will!
