2who testified the word of 2God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all things that he saw.

3Blessed [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time [is] near.

4John to the seven assemblies which [are] in Asia: Grace to you and peace from [him] who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which [are] before his throne;
