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,

⁹ Much more then, having now been justified ^(A)by His blood, we shall be saved ^(B)from wrath through Him.
