“You are worthy(B) to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood(C) you purchased(D) for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.(E)
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests(F) to serve our God,
and they will reign[a] on the earth.”(G)

“Worthy is the Lamb,(K) who was slain,(L)
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”(M)
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth(N) and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
“To him who sits on the throne(O) and to the Lamb(P)
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”(Q)
14 The four living creatures(R) said, “Amen,”(S) and the elders(T) fell down and worshiped.(U)

12 When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die(D) in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”(E) 14 When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up(F) and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”(G)
