Revelation 1:5-8

New American Standard Bible

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, ^(A)the faithful witness, the ^(B)firstborn of the dead, and the ^(C)ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who ^(D)loves us and released us from our sins by His blood— ⁶ and He made us into a ^(E)kingdom, ^(F)priests to ^[a](G)His God and Father—^(H)to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. ^7 (I)Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and ^(J)every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will ^(K)mourn over Him. ^[b]So it is to be. Amen.

⁸ “I am ^(L)the Alpha and the Omega,” says the ^(M)Lord God, “^(N)who is and who was and who ^[c]is to come, the Almighty.”
