¹⁸ I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened^(A) in order that you may know the hope to which he has called^(B) you, the riches^(C) of his glorious inheritance^(D) in his holy people,^{(E) 19} and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power^(F) is the same as the mighty strength^{(G) 20} he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead^(H) and seated him at his right hand^(I) in the heavenly realms,^{(J) 21} far above all rule and authority, power and dominion,^(K) and every name^(L) that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.^(M)

Seven Angels With Seven Plagues

15 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign:^(A) seven angels^(B) with the seven last plagues^(C)—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. ² And I saw what looked like a sea of glass^(D) glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious^(E) over the beast^(F) and its image^(G) and over the number of its name.^(H) They held harps^(I) given them by God ³ and sang the song of God’s servant^(J) Moses^(K) and of the Lamb:^(L)
