This letter is from John to the seven churches in the province of Asia.c Grace and peace to you from the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come; from the sevenfold Spiritd before his throne;

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

and from Jesus Christ. He is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the ruler of all the kings of the world. All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us.

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God his Father. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Look! He comes with the clouds of heaven. And everyone will see him — even those who pierced him. And all the nations of the world will mourn for him. Yes! Amen!

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega — the beginning and the end,”e says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come — the Almighty One.”

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

I, John, am your brother and your partner in suffering and in God’s Kingdom and in the patient endurance to which Jesus calls us. I was exiled to the island of Patmos for preaching the word of God and for my testimony about Jesus.

I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

It was the Lord’s Day, and I was worshiping in the Spirit.f Suddenly, I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet blast.

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

It said, “Write in a bookg everything you see, and send it to the seven churches in the cities of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”

Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands.

And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man.h He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest.

And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire.

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves.

And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance.

And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

I am the living one. I died, but look — I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.i

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

“Write down what you have seen — both the things that are now happening and the things that will happen.j

Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

This is the meaning of the mystery of the seven stars you saw in my right hand and the seven gold lampstands: The seven stars are the angelsk of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
