KJVI^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) Alpha^G1 and^G2532 Omega^G5598, the beginning^G746 and^G2532 the ending^G5056, saith^G3004^(G5719) the Lord^G2962, which^G3588 is^G5607^(G5752)^(G5625)^G3801, and^G2532 which^G3588 was^G2258^(G5713)^(G5625)^G3801, and^G2532 which^G3588 is to come^G2064^(G5740)^(G5625)^G3801, the Almighty^G3841.

KJVI^G1473 John^G2491, who^G3588 also^G2532 am your^G5216 brother^G80, and^G2532 companion^G4791 in^G1722 tribulation^G2347, and^G2532 in^G1722 the kingdom^G932 and^G2532 patience^G5281 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, was^G1096^(G5633) in^G1722 the isle^G3520 that is called^G2564^(G5746) Patmos^G3963, for^G1223 the word^G3056 of God^G2316, and^G2532 for^G1223 the testimony^G3141 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet

KJVI was^G1096^(G5633) in^G1722 the Spirit^G4151 on^G1722 the Lord's^G2960 day^G2250, and^G2532 heard^G191^(G5656) behind^G3694 me^G3450 a great^G3173 voice^G5456, as^G5613 of a trumpet^G4536,

¹¹ saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) Alpha^G1 and^G2532 Omega^G5598, the first^G4413 and^G2532 the last^G2078: and^G2532, What^G3739 thou seest^G991^(G5719), write^G1125^(G5657) in^G1519 a book^G975, and^G2532 send^G3992^(G5657) it unto the seven^G2033 churches^G1577 which^G3588 are in^G1722 Asia^G773; unto^G1519 Ephesus^G2181, and^G2532 unto^G1519 Smyrna^G4667, and^G2532 unto^G1519 Pergamos^G4010, and^G2532 unto^G1519 Thyatira^G2363, and^G2532 unto^G1519 Sardis^G4554, and^G2532 unto^G1519 Philadelphia^G5359, and^G2532 unto^G1519 Laodicea^G2993.

¹² I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.

KJVAnd^G2532 I turned^G1994^(G5656) to see^G991^(G5721) the voice^G5456 that^G3748 spake^G2980^(G5656) with^G3326 me^G1700. And^G2532 being turned^G1994^(G5660), I saw^G1492^(G5627) seven^G2033 golden^G5552 candlesticks^G3087;

¹³ And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.

KJVAnd^G2532 in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of the seven^G2033 candlesticks^G3087 one like^G3664 unto the Son^G5207 of man^G444, clothed with a garment^G1746^(G5765) down to the foot^G4158, and^G2532 girt^G4024^(G5772) about^G4314 the paps^G3149 with a golden^G5552 girdle^G2223.

¹⁴ His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.

KJV^G1161 His^G846 head^G2776 and^G2532 his hairs^G2359 were white^G3022 like^G5616 wool^G2053, as white^G3022 as^G5613 snow^G5510; and^G2532 his^G846 eyes^G3788 were as^G5613 a flame^G5395 of fire^G4442;

¹⁵ His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.

KJVAnd^G2532 his^G846 feet^G4228 like^G3664 unto fine brass^G5474, as^G5613 if they burned^G4448^(G5772) in^G1722 a furnace^G2575; and^G2532 his^G846 voice^G5456 as^G5613 the sound^G5456 of many^G4183 waters^G5204.

¹⁶ He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

KJVAnd^G2532 he had^G2192^(G5723) in^G1722 his^G846 right^G1188 hand^G5495 seven^G2033 stars^G792: and^G2532 out of^G1537 his^G846 mouth^G4750 went^G1607^(G5740) a sharp^G3691 twoedged^G1366 sword^G4501: and^G2532 his^G846 countenance^G3799 was as^G5613 the sun^G2246 shineth^G5316^(G5719) in^G1722 his^G846 strength^G1411.

¹⁷ When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G3753 I saw^G1492^(G5627) him^G846, I fell^G4098^(G5627) at^G4314 his^G846 feet^G4228 as^G5613 dead^G3498. And^G2532 he laid^G2007^(G5656) his^G846 right^G1188 hand^G5495 upon^G1909 me^G1691, saying^G3004^(G5723) unto me^G3427, Fear^G5399^(G5737) not^G3361; I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) the first^G4413 and^G2532 the last^G2078:

¹⁸ and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

KJV^G2532 I am he that liveth^G2198^(G5723), and^G2532 was^G1096^(G5633) dead^G3498; and^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), I am^G1510^(G5748) alive^G2198^(G5723) for^G1519 evermore^G165^G165, Amen^G281; and^G2532 have^G2192^(G5719) the keys^G2807 of hell^G86 and^G2532 of death^G2288.

¹⁹ Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.

KJVWrite^G1125^(G5657) the things which^G3739 thou hast seen^G1492^(G5627), and^G2532 the things which^G3739 are^G1526^(G5748), and^G2532 the things which^G3739 shall^G3195^(G5719) be^G1096^(G5738) hereafter^G3326^G5023;

KJVThe mystery^G3466 of the seven^G2033 stars^G792 which^G3739 thou sawest^G1492^(G5627) in^G1909 my^G3450 right hand^G1188, and^G2532 the seven^G2033 golden^G5552 candlesticks^G3087.

KJVJude^G2455, the servant^G1401 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, and^G1161 brother^G80 of James^G2385, to them that are sanctified^G37^(G5772) by^G1722 God^G2316 the Father^G3962, and^G2532 preserved^G5083^(G5772) in Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, and called^G2822:

KJVMercy^G1656 unto you^G5213, and^G2532 peace^G1515, and^G2532 love^G26, be multiplied^G4129^(G5684).

³ Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

KJVBeloved^G27, when I gave^G4160^(G5734) all^G3956 diligence^G4710 to write^G1125^(G5721) unto you^G5213 of^G4012 the common^G2839 salvation^G4991, it was^G2192 needful^G318 for me^G2192^(G5627) to write^G1125^(G5658) unto you^G5213, and exhort^G3870^(G5723) you that ye should earnestly contend^G1864^(G5738) for the faith^G4102 which was once^G530 delivered^G3860^(G5685) unto the saints^G40.

⁴ For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.

KJVFor^G1063 there are certain^G5100 men^G444 crept in unawares^G3921^(G5656), who^G3588 were before^G4270 of old^G3819 ordained^G4270^(G5772) to^G1519 this^G5124 condemnation^G2917, ungodly men^G765, turning^G3346^(G5723) the grace^G5485 of our^G2257 God^G2316 into^G1519 lasciviousness^G766, and^G2532 denying^G720^(G5740) the only^G3441 Lord^G1203 God^G2316, and^G2532 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

⁵ Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t believe.

KJVI will^G1014^(G5736) therefore^G1161 put^G5279 you^G5209 in remembrance^G5279^(G5658), though ye^G5209 once^G530 knew^G1492^(G5761) this^G5124, how that^G3754 the Lord^G2962, having saved^G4982^(G5660) the people^G2992 out of^G1537 the land^G1093 of Egypt^G125, afterward^G1208 destroyed^G622^(G5656) them that believed^G4100^(G5660) not^G3361.

⁶ Angels who didn’t keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.

KJVAnd^G5037 the angels^G32 which kept^G5083^(G5660) not^G3361 their^G1438 first estate^G746, but^G235 left^G620^(G5631) their own^G2398 habitation^G3613, he hath reserved^G5083^(G5758) in everlasting^G126 chains^G1199 under^G5259 darkness^G2217 unto^G1519 the judgment^G2920 of the great^G3173 day^G2250.

⁷ Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, having in the same way as these given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

KJVEven as^G5613 Sodom^G4670 and^G2532 Gomorrha^G1116, and^G2532 the cities^G4172 about^G4012 them^G846 in like^G3664^G5125 manner^G5158, giving themselves over to fornication^G1608^(G5660), and^G2532 going^G565^(G5631) after^G3694 strange^G2087 flesh^G4561, are set forth for^G4295^(G5736) an example^G1164, suffering^G5254^(G5723) the vengeance^G1349 of eternal^G166 fire^G4442.

⁸ Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings.

KJVLikewise^G3668^G3305 also^G2532 these^G3778 filthy dreamers^G1797^(G5740) defile^G3392^(G5719) the flesh^G3303^G4561,^G1161 despise^G114^(G5719) dominion^G2963, and^G1161 speak evil^G987^(G5719) of dignities^G1391.

⁹ But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”

KJVYet^G1161 Michael^G3413 the archangel^G743, when^G3753 contending^G1252^(G5734) with the devil^G1228 he disputed^G1256^(G5711) about^G4012 the body^G4983 of Moses^G3475, durst^G5111^(G5656) not^G3756 bring against him^G2018^(G5629) a railing^G988 accusation^G2920, but^G235 said^G2036^(G5627), The Lord^G2962 rebuke^G2008^(G5659) thee^G4671.

¹⁰ But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.

KJVBut^G1161 these^G3778 speak evil^G987^(G5719) of those things which^G3745^G3303 they know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756: but^G1161 what^G3745 they know^G1987^(G5736) naturally^G5447, as^G5613 brute^G249 beasts^G2226, in^G1722 those things^G5125 they corrupt themselves^G5351^(G5743).

¹¹ Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion.

KJVWoe^G3759 unto them^G846! for^G3754 they have gone^G4198^(G5675) in the way^G3598 of Cain^G2535, and^G2532 ran greedily after^G1632^(G5681) the error^G4106 of Balaam^G903 for reward^G3408, and^G2532 perished^G622^(G5639) in the gainsaying^G485 of Core^G2879.

¹² These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

KJVThese^G3778 are^G1526^(G5748) spots^G4694 in^G1722 your^G5216 feasts of charity^G26, when they feast^G4910^(G5740) with you^G5213, feeding^G4165^(G5723) themselves^G1438 without fear^G870: clouds^G3507 they are without water^G504, carried about^G4064^(G5746) of^G5259 winds^G417; trees^G1186 whose fruit withereth^G5352, without fruit^G175, twice^G1364 dead^G599^(G5631), plucked up by the roots^G1610^(G5685);

¹³ wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.

KJVRaging^G66 waves^G2949 of the sea^G2281, foaming out^G1890^(G5723) their own^G1438 shame^G152; wandering^G4107 stars^G792, to whom^G3739 is reserved^G5083^(G5769) the blackness^G2217 of darkness^G4655 for^G1519 ever^G165.

¹⁴ About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,

KJVAnd^G1161 Enoch^G1802 also^G2532, the seventh^G1442 from^G575 Adam^G76, prophesied^G4395^(G5656) of these^G5125, saying^G3004^(G5723), Behold^G2400^(G5628), the Lord^G2962 cometh^G2064^(G5627) with^G1722 ten thousands^G3461 of his^G846 saints^G40,

¹⁵ to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

KJVTo execute^G4160^(G5658) judgment^G2920 upon^G2596 all^G3956, and^G2532 to convince^G1827^(G5658) all^G3956 that are ungodly^G765 among them^G846 of^G4012 all^G3956 their^G846 ungodly^G763 deeds^G2041 which^G3739 they have ungodly committed^G764^(G5656), and^G2532 of^G4012 all^G3956 their hard^G4642 speeches which^G3739 ungodly^G765 sinners^G268 have spoken^G2980^(G5656) against^G2596 him^G846.

¹⁶ These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.

KJVThese^G3778 are^G1526^(G5748) murmurers^G1113, complainers^G3202, walking^G4198^(G5740) after^G2596 their own^G846 lusts^G1939; and^G2532 their^G846 mouth^G4750 speaketh^G2980^(G5719) great swelling^G5246 words, having men's persons^G4383 in admiration^G2296^(G5723) because^G5484 of advantage^G5622.

¹⁷ But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVBut^G1161, beloved^G27, remember^G3415^(G5682) ye^G5210 the words^G4487 which^G3588 were spoken before^G4280^(G5772) of^G5259 the apostles^G652 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547;
