Rev. 5:2 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) I saw (eidon) [a] strong (ischuron) messenger (angelon) preaching (kērussonta) in (en) [a] great (megalē) voice (phōnē), “Who (tis) [is] one worthy (axios) to open up (anoixai) the (to) little scroll (biblion), and (kai) to let loose (lusai) the (tas) seals (sphragidas) of it (autou)?”
Rev. 5:3 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) absolutely not one (oudeis) was being inherently powered (edunato), in (en) the (tō) heaven (ouranō), but absolutely not (oude) upon (epi) the (tēs) land (gēs), but absolutely not (oude) down under (hupokatō) the (tēs) land (gēs), to open up (anoixai) the (to) little scroll (biblion), and absolutely not (oute) [one, RE] to look at (blepein) it (auto)!
Rev. 5:4 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) I was weeping (eklaion) much (polu), because (hoti) there was found (heurethē) absolutely not one (oudeis) worthy (axios) to open up (anoixai) the (to) little scroll (biblion), and absolutely not (oute) [one, RE] to look at (blepein) it (auto)!

Rev. 5:6 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) I saw (eidon) in (en) [the] midst (mesō) of the (tou) throne (thronou) and (kai) of the (tōn) four (tessarōn) living things (zōōn), and (kai) in (en) [the] midst (mesō) of the (tōn) elders (presbuterōn), as (hōs) [a] little lamb (arnion), one having stood (hestēkos) having been slaughtered (esphagmenon);
it having (echōn) seven (hepta) horns (kerata) and (kai) seven (hepta) eyes (ophthalmous), which (hoi) are (eisin) the (ta) seven (hepta) Spirits (pneumata) of the (tou) God (theou) having been sent (apestalmenoi) into (eis) all (pasan) of the (tēn) land (gēs).

Rev. 5:9 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) they sing (adousin) [a] new (kainēn) ode (ōdēn), saying (legontes), “You are (ei) one worthy (axios) to receive (labein) the (to) little scroll (biblion), and (kai) to open up (anoixai) the (tas) seals (sphragidas) of it (autou), because (hoti) you were slaughtered (esphagēs);
and (kai) for the (tō) God (theō) you went to market to buy (ēgorasas), in (en) the (tō) blood (haimati) of you (sou), [holy ones, v8, RE] out (ek) of every (pasēs) tribe (phulēs), and (kai) tongue (glōssē), and (kai) people (laou), and (kai) ethnic group (ethnous).
