⁴ John: To the seven churches in Asia. Grace and peace^(A) to you from^[a] the one who is, who was, and who is to come,^(B) and from the seven spirits^[b](C) before his throne,

The Letter to Sardis

3 “Write to the angel^[a] of the church in Sardis: Thus says the one who has the seven spirits of God^(A) and the seven stars:^(B) I know your works; ^(C) you have a reputation^[b] for being alive, but you are dead.^(D)

⁶ Then I saw one like a slaughtered lamb^(A) standing in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God^(B) sent into all the earth.
