² May mercy and peace and love be increased in you.

² May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;

² Who, through the purpose of God, have been made holy by the Spirit, disciples of Jesus, made clean by his blood: May you have grace and peace in full measure.

⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat;

⁵ And from Jesus Christ, the true witness, the first to come back from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who had love for us and has made us clean from our sins by his blood;

⁶ And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to his God and Father; to him let glory and power be given for ever and ever. So be it.

⁷ To all those who are in Rome, loved by God, marked out as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
