[The] revelation of Jesus Christ which gave to him God to show to the bond-servants of Him what things it behooves to take place with speed And He signified [it] having sent through the angel of Him to the servant of Him John,
2 who bare witness as to the word of God, and the witness of Jesus Christ, —whatsoever things he saw.
who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ as much as (then *k) he saw.
3 Happy! he that readeth, and they who hear, the words of the prophecy, and keep the things, therein, written; for, the season, is, near.
blessed [is] the [one] reading and those hearing the words of the prophecy and keeping the [things] in it written; for the time [is] near.

John To the seven churches in Asia: Grace to you and peace from (Him *K+O) who is and who was and who is coming and from the seven Spirits who (is *k) before the throne of Him
5 and from—Jesus Christ, —The Faithful Witness, The Firstborn of the Dead, and The Ruler of the Kings of the Earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us out of our sins with his blood, —
and from Jesus Christ, the witness faithful, the firstborn (from *k) the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the [One] (loving *N+kO) us and (having released *N+KO) us (from *N+kO) the sins of us through the blood of Him —
6 and he hath made us [to be] a kingdom—priests unto his God and Father, Unto him, be the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
and He has made us (a kingdom, *N+KO) (and *K) priests to the God and Father of Him — to Him [be] the glory and the dominion to the ages of the ages, Amen. (aiōn g165)

Behold He is coming with the clouds, and will behold Him every eye and those who Him pierced; and will wail because of Him all the tribes of the earth, Yes Amen!
8 I, am, the A, and, the Z, saith the Lord, —the, God who Is, and who Was, and who is Coming, The Almighty.
I myself am the Alpha and the Omega (beginning and end *K) says (the *k) Lord (God, *NO) who is being and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.
9 I, John, your brother, and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came to be in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and the witness of Jesus.
I myself John, (also *k) brother of you and (fellow-partaker *NK+o) in the tribulation and (in *k) kingdom and in endurance (in *no) Jesus (Christ *K) was in the island which is being called Patmos on account of the word of God and (through *k) the testimony of Jesus (Christ. *K)
10 I came to be, in Spirit, in the Lord’s Day, and heard, behind me, a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
I was in [the] Spirit on the Lord’s day and I heard behind me a voice loud like that of a trumpet
11 saying—What thou seest, write in a scroll, and send unto the Seven Assemblies, —unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, —and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, —and unto Laodicea.
saying (I myself *KO) (am the Alpha and the Omega the first and the last; and *K) What you see do write in a book and do send to the seven churches (in Asia: *K) to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.
12 And I turned round, to see the Voice which was speaking with me, and, having turned, I saw Seven Lamps of gold;
And (there *O) I turned to see the voice that (was speaking *N+kO) with me. And having turned I saw seven lampstands golden
13 and, in the midst of the lamps, One like unto a Son of Man: —clothed with a robe, reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a girdle of gold,
and in [the] midst of the (seven *KO) lampstands [One] like ([the] Son *N+kO) of Man having clothed himself to the feet and having girded himself about at the breasts with a sash golden.
14 And his head and hair, white, like white wool—like snow, and, his eyes, like a flame of fire,
And the head of Him and the hairs [are] white (as if *N+kO) wool white as snow and the eyes of Him [are] like a flame of fire
15 And, his feet, like unto glowing copper, as if in a furnace refined, and, his voice, like a sound of many waters,
and the feet of Him [are] like as fine bronze as in a furnace (refined *N+kO) and the voice of Him [is] like [the] voice of waters many
16 And, having in his right hand, seven stars, and, out of his mouth, a sharp, two-edged sword, going forth; and, his whole appearance, as when, the sun, shineth in its strength.
and He is holding in the right hand of Him stars seven and out of the mouth of Him a sword two-edged sharp is going forth and the face of Him [is] like the sun shining in the full strength of it.
17 And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid his right hand upon me, saying—Do not fear! I, am the First, and the Last,
And when I saw Him, I fell at the feet of Him as though dead, And (He placed *N+kO) the right of Him (hand *K) upon me myself saying (to me: *k) Not do fear. I myself am the First and the Last
18 and the Living One, —and I became dead; —and lo! living, am I, unto the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
and the Living [One], and I was dead and behold living I am to the ages of the ages (Amen *K) and I have the keys of Death and of Hades. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Write, therefore—what things thou hast seen and what they are; and what things are about to come to pass, after these things:
do write (therefore *NO) [the things] that you have seen and [the things] that are and [the things] that are about (to be *N+kO) after these,
20 The sacred secret of the seven stars, which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven lamps of gold: —The seven stars, are, messengers of the seven assemblies, and, the seven lamps, are, seven assemblies
the mystery of the seven stars (which *N+kO) you saw on the right hand of Me and the seven lampstands golden: The seven stars [the] angels of the seven churches are and the lampstands (that *N+kO) (you saw *K) seven [the] seven churches are.
