Revelation 1:1-6 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
1
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants what must soon take place; and he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
2
who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.
3
Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near.
4
John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,
5
and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood
6
and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
