¹⁶ Therefore repent. If not, ^(A)I will come to you soon and ^(B)war against them with ^(C)the sword of my mouth.

^16 (A)In his right hand he held seven stars, ^(B)from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and ^(C)his face was like the sun shining ^(D)in full strength.

¹² For ^(A)the word of God is living and ^(B)active, ^(C)sharper than any ^(D)two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and ^(E)discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

²¹ And the rest were slain by the sword ^(A)that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and ^(B)all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

^15 (A)From his mouth comes a sharp sword ^(B)with which to strike down the nations, and ^(C)he will rule^[a] them with a rod of iron. ^(D)He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

¹¹ saying, ^(A)“Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
