Solomon's Great Wealth

^14 (A)Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,

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.

²⁵ to ^(A)the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, ^(B)be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time^[a] and now and forever. Amen.

¹⁸ and the living one. ^(A)I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and ^(B)I have the keys of Death and Hades.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ ^(A)the faithful witness, ^(B)the firstborn of the dead, and ^(C)the ruler of kings on earth.

To ^(D)him who loves us and ^(E)has freed us from our sins by his blood ⁶ and made us ^(F)a kingdom, ^(G)priests to ^(H)his God and Father, to him be ^(I)glory and ^(J)dominion forever and ever. Amen.

^2 (A)the life ^(B)was made manifest, and we have seen it, and ^(C)testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, ^(D)which was with the Father and ^(E)was made manifest to us—

¹⁸ But ^(A)grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ^(B)To him be the glory both now and to the day of ^(C)eternity. Amen.

The Full Assurance of Faith

^19 (A)Therefore, brothers,^[a] since we have confidence to enter ^(B)the holy places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by ^(C)the new and living way that he opened for us through ^(D)the curtain, that is, through his flesh, ²¹ and since we have ^(E)a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts ^(F)sprinkled clean ^(G)from an evil conscience and our bodies ^(H)washed with pure water.
