Evidence No. 5: The same Wording by John in the Gospel, his Letters and in Revelation

Please read the following verse from Revelation, please keep in mind the wording in bold:

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, (Revelation 1:5 KJV)

Though I could find a similar wording once by another author (Paul) in the whole New Testament in the King James Version in Hebrews 11:17 ("By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son"), there is much more evidence that John who wrote Revelation and John who wrote the Gospel of John and the letters of John are identical. I could find almost the same wording in the New Testament by John several times.

Please read the evidence yourself:

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (John 1:18 KJV)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16 KJV)

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18 KJV)

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. (1 John 4:9 KJV)

There is much more evidence like this in Revelation. Actually, it is striking, and not really difficult to find.
