5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood,
6who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father — to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen.
— Revelation 1:5-6
