3 Blessed|strong="G3107" is|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1722" one|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" reads, and|strong="G2532" blessed|strong="G3107" are|strong="G3588" they|strong="G2532" who|strong="G3588" listen to|strong="G2532", the|strong="G1722" words|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" this|strong="G3588" prophecy|strong="G4394", and|strong="G2532" lay to|strong="G2532" heart what|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" here|strong="G1722" written|strong="G1125"; for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G1722" time|strong="G2540" is|strong="G3588" near|strong="G1451".

To|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" loves us|strong="G2249" and|strong="G2532" freed us|strong="G2249" from|strong="G1537" our|strong="G2424" sins by|strong="G1722" his|strong="G1722" own blood –
6 and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" made|strong="G4160" us|strong="G4160" a|strong="G2532" kingdom of|strong="G2316" priests|strong="G2409" in|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" service of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", his|strong="G1519" Father|strong="G3962"! – to|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588" be|strong="G2532" ascribed glory|strong="G1391" and|strong="G2532" dominion|strong="G2904" for|strong="G1519" ever|strong="G1519". Amen.

Every|strong="G3956" eye|strong="G3788" will|strong="G2532" see|strong="G3708" him|strong="G3588", even|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" pierced|strong="G1574" him|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G2532" nations of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" earth|strong="G1093" will|strong="G2532" mourn|strong="G2875" over|strong="G1909" him|strong="G3588". So|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532". Amen.

9 I|strong="G1473", John|strong="G2491", who|strong="G3588" am|strong="G1473" your|strong="G1223" brother, and|strong="G2532" who|strong="G3588" share with|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" suffering|strong="G2347" and|strong="G2532" kingship and|strong="G2532" endurance|strong="G5281" of|strong="G3056" Jesus|strong="G2424", found|strong="G1096" myself|strong="G1473" on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" island|strong="G3520" called|strong="G2564" Patmos|strong="G3963", for|strong="G1223" the|strong="G1722" sake|strong="G1223" of|strong="G3056" the|strong="G1722" message|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" God|strong="G2316" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" testimony|strong="G3141" to|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424".
10 I|strong="G1473" fell|strong="G1096" into|strong="G1722" a|strong="G1096" trance on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G3588"’s day|strong="G2250", and|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" heard behind|strong="G3694" me|strong="G1473" a|strong="G1096" loud|strong="G3173" voice|strong="G5456", like|strong="G5613" the|strong="G1722" blast|strong="G3173" of|strong="G4151" a|strong="G1096" trumpet|strong="G4536".
11 It|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" – “\+w Write|strong="G1125"\+w* \+w what|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3739"\+w* see \+w in|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w a|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w book|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w send|strong="G3992"\+w* \+w it|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w seven|strong="G2033"\+w* \+w churches|strong="G1577"\+w*, \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w Ephesus|strong="G2181"\+w*, \+w Smyrna|strong="G4667"\+w*, Pergamus, \+w Thyatira|strong="G2363"\+w*, \+w Sardis|strong="G4554"\+w*, \+w Philadelphia|strong="G5359"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Laodicea|strong="G2993"\+w*.”
12 I|strong="G1473" turned|strong="G1994" to|strong="G2532" see|strong="G3708" what|strong="G3588" voice|strong="G5456" it|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" spoke|strong="G2980" to|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473"; and|strong="G2532" when|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" turned|strong="G1994", I|strong="G1473" saw|strong="G3708" seven|strong="G2033" golden|strong="G5552" lamps,
13 and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" midst|strong="G3319" of|strong="G5207" the|strong="G1722" lamps one|strong="G3588" like|strong="G3664" a|strong="G2532" man|strong="G5207", in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2532" robe|strong="G4158" reaching|strong="G4158" to|strong="G4314" his|strong="G1722" feet|strong="G4158", and|strong="G2532" with|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2532" golden|strong="G5552" sash|strong="G2223" across|strong="G4314" his|strong="G1722" breast.
14 The|strong="G2532" hair|strong="G2359" of|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" head|strong="G2776" was|strong="G3588" as|strong="G5613" white|strong="G3022" as|strong="G5613" wool|strong="G2053", as|strong="G5613" white|strong="G3022" as|strong="G5613" snow|strong="G5510"; his|strong="G2532" eyes|strong="G3788" were|strong="G3588" like|strong="G5613" flaming|strong="G5395" fire|strong="G4442";
15 and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1722" feet|strong="G4228" were|strong="G3588" like|strong="G5613" brass|strong="G5474" as|strong="G5613" when|strong="G5613" molten in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G5613" furnace|strong="G2575"; his|strong="G1722" voice|strong="G5456" was|strong="G3588" like|strong="G5613" the|strong="G1722" sound|strong="G5456" of|strong="G2532" many|strong="G4183" streams,
16 in|strong="G1722" his|strong="G1722" right|strong="G1188" hand|strong="G5495" he|strong="G2532" held|strong="G2192" seven|strong="G2033" stars, from|strong="G1537" his|strong="G1722" mouth|strong="G4750" came|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2192" sharp|strong="G3691" two-edged|strong="G1366" sword|strong="G4501", and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1722" face|strong="G4750" was|strong="G3588" like|strong="G5613" the|strong="G1722" sun|strong="G2246" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" fulness of|strong="G1537" its|strong="G1537" power|strong="G1411".
17 And|strong="G2532", when|strong="G3753" I|strong="G1473" saw|strong="G3708" him|strong="G3588", I|strong="G1473" fell|strong="G4098" at|strong="G1909" his|strong="G1909" feet|strong="G4228" like|strong="G5613" one|strong="G3588" dead|strong="G3498".
