4. Ὁ Ἰωάννης πρὸς τὰς ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίας, αἱ ὁποῖαι εἶναι εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν. Χάρις νὰ εἶναι σ᾽ ἐσᾶς καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ ἐκεῖνον, ὁ ὁποῖος ὑπάρχει, ὁ ὁποῖος ὑπῆρχε καὶ ὁ ὁποῖος θὰ ἔλθῃ, καὶ ἀπὸ τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα, τὰ ὁποῖα εἶναι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου του,
5. καὶ ἀπὸ τὸν Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, ὁ ὁποῖος εἶναι ὁ μάρτυς ὁ ἀξιόπιστος, ὁ πρωτότοκος τῶν νεκρῶν καὶ ὁ ἄρχων τῶν βασιλέων τῆς γῆς. Εἰς ἐκεῖνον ποὺ μᾶς ἀγαπᾶ καὶ μᾶς ἔλουσε ἀπὸ τὰς ἁμαρτίας μας μὲ τὸ αἷμά του,
6. καὶ μᾶς ἔκανε ἕνα βασίλειον, ἱερεῖς διὰ τὸν Θεὸν καὶ Πατέρα του, εἰς αὐτὸν ἀνήκει ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.
7. Ἰδού, ἔρχεται μὲ τὰ σύννεφα. Κάθε μάτι θὰ τὸν ἰδῇ καὶ ἐκεῖνοι ποὺ τὸν ἐκέντησαν, καὶ θὰ θρηνήσουν δι᾽ αὐτὸν ὅλαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς. Ναί, ἀμήν.
8. Ἐγὼ εἶμαι τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω, λέγει ὁ Κύριος ὁ Θεός, ὁ ὁποῖος ὑπάρχει, ὁ ὁποῖος ὑπῆρχε καὶ ὁ ὁποῖος θὰ ἔλθῃ, ὁ Παντοκράτωρ.
9. Ἐγὼ ὁ Ἰωάννης, ὁ ἀδελφός σας καὶ συμμέτοχος εἰς τὴν θλῖψιν καὶ τὴν βασιλείαν καὶ τὴν ὑπομονὴν ἐν Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ, ἤμουν εἰς τὴν νῆσον ποὺ ὀνομάζεται Πάτμος, ἐξ αἰτίας τοῦ λόγου τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τῆς μαρτυρίας διὰ τὸν Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν.
