⁴ John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him ^[a]who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne; ⁵ and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and ^[b]loosed us from our sins ^[c]by his blood; ⁶ and he made us to be a kingdom, to be priests unto ^[d]his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion ^[e]for ever and ever. Amen. ⁷ Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
