Revelation 1:2-4
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 Who has testified to and vouched for all that he saw [[a]in his visions], the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed (happy, [b]to be envied) is the man who reads aloud [in the assemblies] the word of this prophecy; and blessed (happy, [c]to be envied) are those who hear [it read] and who keep themselves true to the things which are written in it [heeding them and laying them to heart], for the time [for them to be fulfilled] is near.
4 John to the seven assemblies (churches) that are in Asia: May grace (God’s unmerited favor) be granted to you and spiritual peace ([d]the peace of Christ’s kingdom) from Him Who is and Who was and Who is to come, and from the seven Spirits [[e]the sevenfold Holy Spirit] before His throne,(A)
