⁸ Jesus Christ yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages;

⁶ For I `am' Jehovah, I have not changed, And ye, the sons of Jacob, Ye have not been consumed.

¹⁷ every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

¹² and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'

⁸ `I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is coming -- the Almighty.'

⁵⁶ Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'

⁵⁷ The Jews, therefore, said unto him, `Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming -- I am;'

² Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou `art' God.

⁶ Thus said Jehovah, king of Israel, And his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: `I `am' the first, and I the last, And besides Me there is no God.

⁴ Who hath wrought and done, Calling the generations from the first? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last I `am' He.

⁴ John to the seven assemblies that `are' in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne,

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, `Be not afraid; I am the First and the Last,

¹⁸ and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death.

¹⁹ for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached -- through me and Silvanus and Timotheus -- did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;

¹⁷ And the kindness of Jehovah `Is' from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,

⁴ For a thousand years in Thine eyes `are' as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.

²⁷ And Thou `art' the same, and Thine years are not finished.

²⁸ The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!

¹¹ `I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last;' and, `What thou dost see, write in a scroll, and send to the seven assemblies that `are' in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.'
