Revelation 1:4-8 (English Standard Version)

Greeting to the Seven Churches

   Grace to you and peace from^(A) him^(B) who is and^(C) who was and who is to come, and from^(D) the seven spirits who are before his throne, ⁵and from Jesus Christ^(E) the faithful witness,^(F) the firstborn of the dead, and^(G) the ruler of kings on earth.

   To^(H) him who loves us and^(I) has freed us from our sins by his blood ⁶and made us^(J) a kingdom,^(K) priests to^(L) his God and Father, to him be^(M) glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. ⁷Behold,^(N) he is coming with the clouds, and^(O) every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail^[a] on account of him. Even so. Amen.

 ^8(P) "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God,^(Q) "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
