Revelation 1:5-7
American Standard Version
5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and [a]loosed us from our sins [b]by his blood; 6 and he made us to be a kingdom, to be priests unto [c]his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion [d]for ever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
