^x“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And I heard ^yevery creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”

It is these ^apwho follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as ^aqfirstfruits for God and the Lamb,
