Revelation 1:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 (A) From John to the seven churches in Asia.[a]
I pray that you
will be blessed
with kindness and peace
from God, who is and was
and is coming.
May you receive
kindness and peace
from the seven spirits
before the throne of God.
5 (B) May kindness and peace
be yours
from Jesus Christ,
the faithful witness.
Jesus was the first
to conquer death,
and he is the ruler
of all earthly kings.
Christ loves us,
and by his blood
he set us free
from our sins.
6 (C) He lets us rule as kings
and serve God his Father
as priests.
To him be glory and power
forever and ever! Amen.
