He alone possesses immortality and lives in unapproachable light, whom no human has ever seen or is able to see. To him be honor and eternal power! Amen.

Now may the God of peace who by the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ,

You also know that ¹  the angels who did not keep within their proper domain ²  but abandoned their own place of residence, he has kept ³  in eternal chains ⁴  in utter ⁵  darkness, locked up ⁶  for the judgment of the great Day.

Then ¹  I saw another ²  angel flying directly overhead, ³  and he had ⁴  an eternal gospel to proclaim ⁵  to those who live ⁶  on the earth – to every nation, tribe, ⁷  language, and people.

Look up, ¹  you gates! Rise up, ²  you eternal doors! Then the majestic king ³  will enter! ⁴ 

Look up, you gates! Rise up, you eternal doors! Then the majestic king will enter!

You were once abandoned and despised, with no one passing through, but I will make you ¹  a permanent source of pride and joy to coming generations.

“Hazor will become a permanent wasteland, a place where only jackals live. ¹  No one will live there. No human being will settle in it.” ² 

“Then he will say ¹  to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!

And I know that his commandment is eternal life. ¹  Thus the things I say, I say just as the Father has told me.” ² 

But now, freed ¹  from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit ²  leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.

Let Israel say, “Yes, his loyal love endures!”

Let the family ¹  of Aaron say, “Yes, his loyal love endures!”

Let the loyal followers of the Lord ¹  say, “Yes, his loyal love endures!”

O Lord, your name endures, ¹  your reputation, O Lord, lasts. ² 

Give thanks to the God of gods, for his loyal love endures.

Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his loyal love endures,

to the one who performs magnificent, amazing deeds all by himself, for his loyal love endures,

to the one who used wisdom to make the heavens, for his loyal love endures,

to the one who made the great lights, for his loyal love endures,
