“To ¹  the angel of the church in Philadelphia write the following: ²  “This is the solemn pronouncement of ³  the Holy One, the True One, who holds the key of David, who opens doors ⁴  no one can shut, and shuts doors ⁵  no one can open:

So ¹  I began weeping bitterly ²  because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

Then ¹  the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her because no one buys their cargo ²  any longer –

After these things I looked, and here was ¹  an enormous crowd that no one could count, made up of persons from every nation, tribe, ²  people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb dressed in long white robes, and with palm branches in their hands.
