¹⁷ And he came and ^(A)preached peace to you who were ^(B)far off and peace to those who were ^(C)near.

⁷ For ^(A)what great nation is there that has ^(B)a god so near to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him?

⁹ But you are ^(A)a chosen race, ^(B)a royal ^(C)priesthood, ^(D)a holy nation, ^(E)a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you ^(F)out of darkness into ^(G)his marvelous light.

^21 (A)He is your praise. He is your God, ^(B)who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen.

⁸ And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders ^(A)fell down before the Lamb, ^(B)each holding a harp, and ^(C)golden bowls full of incense, ^(D)which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹ And they sang ^(E)a new song, saying,

¹¹ Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering ^(J)myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, ¹² saying with a loud voice,

¹³ And I heard ^(L)every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,

¹⁴ And the four living creatures ^(M)said, “Amen!” and the elders ^(N)fell down and worshiped.
