Jude
1:20-25
(20) But you, beloved, build
yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit;
(21) keep
yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ
that leads to eternal life.
(22) And have mercy on those who
doubt;
(23) save
others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear,
hating even the garment stained by the flesh.
(24) Now to him who is able to keep
you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his
glory with great joy,
(25) to
the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty,
dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Revelation
1:4-8
(4) John to the seven churches
that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is
to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,
(5) and
from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the
ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by
his blood
(6) and
made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion
forever and ever. Amen.
(7) Behold, he is coming with the
clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes
of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so.
Amen.
(8) "I
am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the
Almighty."
