4 John: To the seven churches in Asia. Grace and peaceg to you fromE the one who is, who was, and who is to come,h and from the seven spiritsF,i before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness,j the firstborn from the deadk and the ruler of the kings of the earth.l

To him who loves us and has set us freeG from our sins by his blood,m 6 and made us a kingdom,H priests* n to his God and Father—to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.o

7 Look, he is coming with the clouds,p

and every eye will see him,

even those who pierced him.

And all the tribesJ of the earthK,q

will mourn over him.L,M,r

So it is to be. Amen.
