Revelation 1:4-8

International Standard Version

⁴ From^[a] John to the seven churches in Asia. May grace and peace be yours from the one who is, who was, and who is coming, from the seven spirits who are in front of his throne, ⁵ and from Jesus the Messiah,^[b] the witness, the faithful one,^[c] the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To the one who loves us and has freed^[d] us from our sins by his blood ⁶ and has made us a kingdom, priests for his God and Father, be glory and power forever and ever! Amen.

So be it! Amen.

⁸ “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” declares the Lord God, “the one who is, who was, and who is coming, the Almighty.”
