Message to the Seven Churches

^4 (A)John to ^(B)the seven churches that are in ^(C)Asia: ^(D)Grace to you and peace from ^(E)Him who is, and who was, and who ^[a]is to come, and from ^(F)the ^[b]seven spirits who are before His throne,

The Patmos Vision

^9 (A)I, John, your ^(B)brother and ^(C)fellow participant in the tribulation and ^(D)kingdom and ^[a](E)perseverance in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos ^(F)because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

^8 (A)I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, ^(B)I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
