and made us a kingdom, priests to God even his Father, to him be the glory and the power forever; amen.

I know your works and your labor and your patience, and that you cannot bear the wicked, and you tried those who say they are apostles and are not, and found them false;

And to him that conquers and keeps my works till the end, I will give power over the nations,

I know your works; behold, I have placed before you an opened door, which no man can shut; because you have a little power, and kept my word, and did not deny my name.

For you say, I am rich and have become rich and have need of nothing, and know not that you are miserable, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

Thou art worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou hast created all things, and on account of thy will they are and were created.

And I saw, and heard a voice of many angels about the throne, and of the cherubs, and of the elders,??nd the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands,??12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was killed to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and those which are on the sea, and all things in them, all heard I saying, To him that sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and power forever and ever.

And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third cherub say, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse, and he that sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and one sat on it, whose name was Death, and Hades followed him, and there was given him power over a fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the beasts of the earth.

saying, Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever.

And from the smoke went out locusts on the earth, and power was given them like the power which scorpions of the earth have.

And they had tails like scorpions and stings, and in their tails was their power to injure men five months.

For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like serpents, having heads, and with them they did injury.

These have power to shut heaven, that it may not rain in the days of their prophecy, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to smite the earth with every plague as often as they will.

saying, We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, the Is and the Was, that thou didst take thy great power and reign,

and his tail drew a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them on the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear [a child], that when she had borne he might devour her son.

And she bore a male child, who is about to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.

And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, Now has come the salvation and power and kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ, for the accuser of the brothers, that accused them day and night before God, has been cast [to the earth].

And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who bore the male child.

And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.

and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave power to the beast, and worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast, and who is able to make war with him?

And there was given him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemy, and power was given him to continue forty-two months [three years and a half].

And it was given him to make war with the saints and to conquer them, and power was given him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

And he exercised all the power of the first beast in his presence. And he caused the earth and those that dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.

And he caused all, small and great, and rich and poor, and freemen and servants, to receive the mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

and another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and cried with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Send your sharp sickle and gather the grapes of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.

and the seven angels went out who have the last seven plagues, clothed with pure bright linen, and girded about the breasts with golden girdles.

And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter into the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

And I heard a loud voice saying to the seven angels, Go, pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.

And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God who had power over these plagues, and changed not their minds to give him glory.

And he bore me away into the wilderness in the Spirit. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, [the beast] full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have not yet received a kingdom, but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

These have one will, and give their power and their authority to the beast.

After this I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lighted by his glory.

AFTER this I heard a loud voice as of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Halleluia, the salvation and glory and power of our God,

Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection; on these the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and Christ, and reign with him a thousand years.

And he bore me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

And the building of its wall was jasper, and the city was of pure gold like clear glass.

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each of the gates was of one pearl. And the street of the city was of pure gold, transparent as glass.
