Psalms 145:13

145:13 Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, ¹ 

and your dominion endures through all generations.

Daniel 4:3

4:3 “How great are his signs!

How mighty are his wonders!

His kingdom will last forever, ² 

and his authority continues from one generation to the next.”

Daniel 4:34

4:34 But at the end of the appointed time ³  I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up ⁴  toward heaven, and my sanity returned to me.

I extolled the Most High,

and I praised and glorified the one who lives forever.

For his authority is an everlasting authority,

and his kingdom extends from one generation to the next.

Daniel 7:14

7:14 To him was given ruling authority, honor, and sovereignty.

All peoples, nations, and language groups were serving ⁵  him.

His authority is eternal and will not pass away. ⁶ 

His kingdom will not be destroyed. ⁷ 

Matthew 6:13

6:13 And do not lead us into temptation, ⁸  but deliver us from the evil one. ⁹ 

Revelation 5:12-14

5:12 all of whom ¹⁰  were singing ¹¹  in a loud voice:

“Worthy is the lamb who was killed ¹² 

to receive power and wealth

and wisdom and might

and honor and glory and praise!”

5:13 Then ¹³  I heard every creature – in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them – singing: ¹⁴ 

“To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb

be praise, honor, glory, and ruling power ¹⁵  forever and ever!”

5:14 And the four living creatures were saying “Amen,” and the elders threw themselves to the ground ¹⁶  and worshiped.

¹ tn Heb “a kingdom of all ages.”

² tn Aram “his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.”

³ tn Aram “days.”

⁴ tn Aram “lifted up my eyes.”

⁵ tn Some take “serving” here in the sense of “worshiping.”

⁶ tn Aram “is an eternal authority which will not pass away.”

⁷ tn Aram “is one which will not be destroyed.”

⁸ tn Or “into a time of testing.”

⁹ tc Most mss (L W Θ 0233 ˹³ 33 Ï sy sa Didache) read (though some with slight variation) ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, ἀμήν (“for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, amen”) here. The reading without this sentence, though, is attested by generally better witnesses (א B D Z 0170 ˹ pc lat mae Or). The phrase was probably composed for the liturgy of the early church and most likely was based on 1 Chr 29:11-13; a scribe probably added the phrase at this point in the text for use in public scripture reading (see TCGNT 13-14). Both external and internal evidence argue for the shorter reading.

¹⁰ tn The words “all of whom” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied to indicate the resumption of the phrase “the voice of many angels” at the beginning of the verse.

¹¹ tn Grk “saying.”

¹² tn Or “slaughtered”; traditionally, “slain.”

¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

¹⁴ tn Grk “saying.”

¹⁵ tn Or “dominion.”

¹⁶ tn Grk “fell down.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”
