Revelation 5:9-11

New International Reader's Version

“You are worthy to take the scroll
    and break open its seals.
You are worthy because you were put to death.
    With your blood you bought people for God.
    They come from every tribe, people and nation,
    no matter what language they speak.
¹⁰ You have made them members of a royal family.
    You have made them priests to serve our God.
    They will rule on the earth.”
