Revelation 4
1After these thingsG3778 I sawG3708, and beholdG2400, a doorG2374 openedG455 in heavenG3772, and the firstG4413 voiceG5456 that I heardG191, a voiceG5456as of a trumpetG4536 speakingG2980 with me, oneG3739 sayingG3004, ComeG1096 up hither, and I will showG1166 thee the thingsG3778 which must comeG1096 to passG1096 hereafter. 2Straightway I was in the SpiritG4151: and beholdG2400, there was a throneG2362 setG2749 in heavenG3772, and oneG3588 sittingG2521 upon the throneG2362; 3and he that satG2521 was to look upon like a jasperG2393 stoneG3037 and a sardiusG4556: and there was a rainbowG2463 round about the throneG2362, like an emerald to look upon. 4And round about the throneG2362 were fourG5064 and twentyG1501 thronesG2362: and upon the thronesG2362 I saw fourG5064 and twentyG1501 eldersG4245 sittingG2521, arrayed in whiteG3022 garmentsG2440; and on their headsG2776 crownsG4735 of gold. 5And out of the throneG2362 proceed lightnings and voicesG5456 and thundersG1027. And there wereG1510 sevenG2033 lampsG2985 of fireG4442 burningG2545 before the throneG2362, which areG1510 the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316; 6and before the throneG2362, as it were a seaG2281 of glassG5193 like unto crystalG2930; and in the midstG3319 of the throneG2362, and round about the throneG2362, fourG5064 living creaturesG2226 fullG1073 of eyesG3788 before and behind. 7And the firstG4413 creatureG2226 was like a lionG3023, and the secondG1208 creatureG2226 like a calfG3448, and the thirdG5154 creatureG2226 had a faceG4383 as of a manG444, and the fourth creatureG2226 was like a flyingG4072 eagleG105. 8And the fourG5064 living creaturesG2226, having each oneG1520 of them sixG1803 wingsG4420, areG1510 fullG1073 of eyesG3788 round about and within: and they have no restG372 dayG2250 and nightG3571, sayingG3004,
HolyG40, holyG40, holyG40, isG1510the LordG2962 GodG2316, the AlmightyG3841, who wasG1510 and who isG1510 and who isG1510 to comeG2064.
9And whenG3752 the livingG2198 creaturesG2226 shall giveG1325 gloryG1391 and honorG5092 and thanks to him that sitteth on the throneG2362, to him that liveth for ever and ever, 10the fourG5064 and twentyG1501 eldersG4245 shall fallG4098 downG4098 before him that sitteth on the throneG2362, and shall worshipG4352 him that liveth for ever and ever, and shall castG906 their crownsG4735 before the throneG2362, sayingG3004,
11WorthyG514 art thou, our LordG2962 and our GodG2316, to receiveG2983 the gloryG1391 and the honorG5092 and the powerG1411: for thou didst create all thingsG3956, and because of thy will they wereG1510, and wereG1510 created.
