Revelation 1:4-8

New King James Version

Greeting the Seven Churches

⁴ John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:

Grace to you and peace from Him ^(A)who is and ^(B)who was and who is to come, ^(C)and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, ⁵ and from Jesus Christ, ^(D)the faithful ^(E)witness, the ^(F)firstborn from the dead, and ^(G)the ruler over the kings of the earth.

To Him ^(H)who ^[a]loved us ^(I)and washed us from our sins in His own blood, ⁶ and has ^(J)made us ^[b]kings and priests to His God and Father, ^(K)to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

⁷ Behold, He is coming with ^(L)clouds, and every eye will see Him, even ^(M)they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

^8 (N)“I am the Alpha and the Omega, ^[c]the Beginning and the End,” says the ^[d]Lord, ^(O)“who is and who was and who is to come, the ^(P)Almighty.”
