saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. That thou seest, write in a book and send it unto the congregations which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea."

And I turned back to see the voice that spake to me. And when I was turned: I saw seven golden candlesticks.

He that overcometh shall be clothed in white array, and I will not put out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my father, and before his angels.

And I saw, in the right hand of him that sat in the throne, a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

And I saw a strong angel which cried with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?"

And no man in heaven nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open, and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

And one of the elders said unto me, "Weep not. Behold, a lion being of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath obtained to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."

And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the seat.

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and twenty four elders fell down before the lamb, having harps and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints,

and they sung a new song saying, "Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast killed, and hast redeemed us by thy blood, out of all kindreds, and tongues, and people, and nations,

And he had in his hand a little book open: and he put his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth.

And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, "Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel, which standeth upon the sea, and upon the earth."

And I went unto the angel, and said to him, "Give me the little book," and he said unto me, "Take it, and eat it up, and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth as sweet as honey."

And I took the little book out of his hand, and ate it up, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey, and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

and all that dwell upon the earth worshipped him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb, which was killed from the beginning of the world.

The beast that thou seest, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and shall go into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder - whose names are not written in the book of life from he beginning of the world - when they behold the beast that was, and is not.

And I saw the dead, both great and small, stand before God: And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged of those things which were written in the books according to their deeds.

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.

And there shall enter into it none unclean thing; neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh lies, but they only which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Behold, I come shortly." Happy is he that keepeth the saying of the prophecy of this book.

And he said unto me, "See thou do it not, for I am thy fellow servant and the fellow servant of thy brethren the prophets and of them which keep the sayings of this book. But worship God."

And he said unto me, "Seal not the sayings of prophesy of this book. For the time is at hand.

I testify unto every man that heareth the words of prophecy of this book: if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.

And if any man shall minish of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from those things which are written in this book.
