And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not, I am the First and the Last,

And to the angel of the church in Smyrna, write: These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and is alive:

I know your works, and your love, and your faith, and your service, and your patience, and your works, the last greater than the first.

And I saw another sign in heaven, great and wonderful: seven angels that had seven plagues which are the last; for by them the wrath of God is brought to an end.

And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven cups full of the seven last plagues; and he talked with me, saying: Come hither, and I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
