The Patmos Vision

^9 (A)I, John, your ^(B)brother and ^(C)fellow partaker in the tribulation and ^(D)kingdom and ^[a](E)perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos ^(F)because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. ¹⁰ I was ^[b](G)in the Spirit on ^(H)the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice ^(I)like the sound of a trumpet, ¹¹ saying, “^(J)Write in a ^[c]book what you see, and send it to the ^(K)seven churches: to ^(L)Ephesus and to ^(M)Smyrna and to ^(N)Pergamum and to ^(O)Thyatira and to ^(P)Sardis and to ^(Q)Philadelphia and to ^(R)Laodicea.”
