6 And has made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to Him be glory and dominion into the ages of the ages. Amen.

15 And his feet like to fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

18 I am He Who lives, and was dead; and, I am alive into the ages of the ages, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
