“ Look! I am the One! There is no other God except me. I put some people to death. I bring others to life. I have wounded, and I will heal. No one can save you from my power.

你们如今要知道：我，惟有我是神；在我以外并无别神。我使人死，我使人活；我损伤，我也医治，并无人能从我手中救出来。

“‘如今，看！我，惟有我是上帝；我以外并无别神。我使人死，我使人活；我击伤人，也医治人，没有人能从我手中救出来。

“‘如今，看！我，惟有我是神；我以外并无别神。我使人死，我使人活；我击伤人，也医治人，没有人能从我手中救出来。

“‘你们要知道，唯有我是上帝；除我之外，别无他神。我掌管生死，我打伤、我医治；无人能逃出我的掌心。

现在你们要知道，只有我是那一位，除我以外，并没有别的神；我使人死，也使人活；我打伤，我也医治；没有人可以从我的手里抢救出去。

你們如今要知道：我，惟有我是神；在我以外並無別神。我使人死，我使人活；我損傷，我也醫治，並無人能從我手中救出來。

「『如今，看！我，惟有我是上帝；我以外並無別神。我使人死，我使人活；我擊傷人，也醫治人，沒有人能從我手中救出來。

「『如今，看！我，惟有我是神；我以外並無別神。我使人死，我使人活；我擊傷人，也醫治人，沒有人能從我手中救出來。

「『你們要知道，唯有我是上帝；除我之外，別無他神。我掌管生死，我打傷、我醫治；無人能逃出我的掌心。

現在你們要知道，只有我是那一位，除我以外，並沒有別的神；我使人死，也使人活；我打傷，我也醫治；沒有人可以從我的手裡搶救出去。

『「如今你們要看，我，惟有我乃是上帝，我以外、並沒有別的神；是我使人死，是我使人活；是我擊傷，也是我醫治；並沒有能從我手中搶救出去的。

當知我之為我、無神偕我、我使人死、亦使人生、我傷之、亦醫之、無能拯於我手、

爾當知我之為我、外此別無上帝、殺戮者我、生全者我、攻擊者我、施醫者我、無能奪於我手。

爾曹當知我之為我、在我之外別無天主、殺戮者我、生存者我、傷損者我、痊愈者我、無能救出我手、

“ See now that I myself am he! There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand.

“‘ See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.

Look now; I myself am he! There is no other god but me! I am the one who kills and gives life; I am the one who wounds and heals; no one can be rescued from my powerful hand!

See now that I alone am he; there is no God but me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal. No one can rescue anyone from my power.

See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there is no one who can save anyone from My hand.

‘ Now see that I, even I, am He, And there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand.

See now that I, even I, am he, And there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; And there is none that can deliver out of my hand.

See now that I alone am He; there is no God but Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal. No one can rescue anyone from My hand.

See now that I,[ even] I,[ am] he, and[ there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither[ is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.

“ See now that I, indeed I, am he!” says the LORD,“ and there is no other god besides me. I kill and give life, I smash and I heal, and none can resist my power.

“ See now that I myself am he. There is no god with me. I kill and I make alive. I wound and I heal. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.

The people say,“ Come. Let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces. But he will heal us. He has wounded us. But he’ll bandage our wounds.

“ The Lord causes people to die. He also gives people life. He brings people down to the grave. He also brings people up from death.

He wounds. But he also bandages up those he wounds. He harms. But his hands also heal those he harms.

“ All you who live anywhere on earth, turn to me and be saved. I am God. There is no other God.

I am the Lord. There is no other Lord. I am the one and only God. You do not know anything about me. But I will make you strong.

“ And that is not all! I have always been God, and I always will be. No one can save people from my power. When I do something, who can undo it?”

I will continue to carry you even when you are old. I will take good care of you even when your hair is gray. I have made you, and I will carry you. I will take care of you, and I will save you. I am the Lord.

The Lord created the heavens. He is God. He formed the earth and made it. He set it firmly in place. He didn’t create it to be empty. Instead, he formed it for people to live on. He says,“ I am the Lord. There is no other Lord.

Our God is a God who saves. He is the King and the Lord. He saves us from death.

Who has made that happen? Who has carried it out? Who has created all the people who have ever lived? I, the Lord, have done it. I was with the first of them. And I will be with the last of them.”

“ You who forget God, think about this. If you don’t, I will tear you to pieces. No one will be able to save you.

The king of Israel read the letter. As soon as he did, he tore his royal robes. He said,“ Am I God? Can I kill people and bring them back to life? Why does this fellow send someone to me to be healed of his skin disease? He must be trying to pick a fight with me!”

But you remain the same. Your years will never end.

“ Family of Jacob, listen to me. People of Israel, pay attention. I have chosen you. I am the first and the last. I am the Lord.

The Lord showed you those things so that you might know he is God. There is no other God except him.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. Then he put his right hand on me and said,“ Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.I am the Living One. I was dead. But now look! I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys to Death and Hell.

You already know I’m not guilty. No one can save me from your power.

So Jacob’s people will be scattered among many nations. They will be like a lion among the animals in the forest. They’ll be like a young lion among flocks of sheep. Lions attack and tear apart their prey as they move along. No one can keep them from killing what they want.

“ Here is what I command you to write to the church in Smyrna. Here are the words of Jesus, who is the First and the Last. He is the one who died and came to life again. He says,

You will roll them up like a robe. They will be changed as a person changes clothes. But you remain the same. Your years will never end.”( Psalm 102:25–27)

I told you that you would die in your sins. This will happen if you don’t believe that I am he. If you don’t believe, you will certainly die in your sins.”

The voice said,“ Write on a scroll what you see. Send it to the seven churches in Asia Minor. They are Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.”
