¹⁴ And to him there were given rulership+ and dignity+ and kingdom,*+ that the peoples, national groups and languages should all serve even him.+ His rulership is an indefinitely lasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be brought to ruin.+

¹⁸ And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority*+ has been given me in heaven and on the earth.

⁹ For to this end Christ died and came to life again,+ that he might be Lord over both the dead+ and the living.+

²⁰ with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he raised him up from the dead+ and seated him at his right hand+ in the heavenly places,+

¹⁶ And upon his outer garment, even upon his thigh, he has a name written, King of* kings and Lord of lords.+
