John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him [a]who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and [b]loosed us from our sins [c]by his blood; and he made us to be a kingdom, to be priests unto [d]his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion [e]for ever and ever. Amen.
