And when I saw him, I fell at his feete as dead: then he laid his right hand vpon me, saying vnto me, Feare not: I am that first and that last,
19 “Eya ta ŋlɔ nu siwo nèkpɔ fifia kple nu siwo le vava ge emegbe la.
Write the things which thou hast seene, and the things which are, and the things which shall come hereafter.
