To the Church in Philadelphia

7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the ^ktrue one, who has the ^lkey of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.

5 And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, ^cthe Lion ^dof the tribe of Judah, the ^eRoot of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

16 “I, Jesus, have sent my ^eangel to testify to you about these things for ^fthe churches. I am the ^groot and the descendant of David, the bright ^hmorning star.”
