1:4 The greetings to seven assemblies of believers

4 This letter is from Yohan to the seven assemblies in Asia Minor:[ref]

Grace and peace to you all from the God who is and was and will be, and from the seven spirits who are in front of his throne, 5 and from Yeshua the messiah, the faithful witness, the first to come back to life, and the ruler of all the leaders of the nations of the world.[ref]

Yeshua loves us and he has released us from our sins by his blood, 6 and made us into a kingdom of priests to God his father, and he is deserving of honour and power throughout the ages. May it be so.[ref]

7 Look, he’s going to come back in the clouds, and everyone will see him—the one who they speared—and all the tribes on the earth will be mourning over him. REWORK OT QUOTES[ref]
