“Either make the tree good and its fruit is good, or make the tree bad and its fruit is bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.

⁴ John, to the seven churches in Asia: grace to you and peace from the one who is and the one who was and the one who is coming, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, ⁵and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the one who loves us and released us from our sins by his blood ⁶and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the power ⌞forever and ever⌟. Amen.
