NIV:
.1.Creator Rev 4:11 You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.
.2. Holy Rev 4:8b "'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty' who was, and is, and is to come."
.3. Just Deut 32:4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
.4. Love Eph 2:4-5 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
.5. Eternal Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
