4 John, to the seven churches in Asia: Grace to you and peace from the One Who is and Who was and Who is coming, and from the seven Spirits[a] that are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ— the Faithful Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth.
To the One loving us and having released[b] us from our sins by His blood— 6 and He made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father— to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever, amen.
