The Creation of the World

1 In the ^(A)beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

¹⁸ I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: ^(A)if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, ¹⁹ and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in ^(B)the tree of life and in ^(C)the holy city, which are described in this book.

²⁰ He who testifies to these things says, “Surely ^(D)I am coming soon.” Amen. ^(E)Come, Lord Jesus!

²¹ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.^[a] Amen.
