17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; *I* am the first and the last,

18 and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades.

18 ja minä elän; ja minä olin kuollut, ja katso, minä elän aina ja iankaikkisesti, ja minulla on kuoleman ja tuonelan avaimet.
