Revelation 22:7-21
New International Version
7 “Look, I am coming soon!(A) Blessed(B) is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”(C)
8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.(D) And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet(E) of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll.(F) Worship God!”(G)
10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up(H) the words of the prophecy of this scroll,(I) because the time is near.(J) 11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”(K)
Epilogue: Invitation and Warning
12 “Look, I am coming soon!(L) My reward is with me,(M) and I will give to each person according to what they have done.(N) 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega,(O) the First and the Last,(P) the Beginning and the End.(Q)
14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes,(R) that they may have the right to the tree of life(S) and may go through the gates(T) into the city.(U) 15 Outside(V) are the dogs,(W) those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 “I, Jesus,(X) have sent my angel(Y) to give you[a] this testimony for the churches.(Z) I am the Root(AA) and the Offspring of David,(AB) and the bright Morning Star.”(AC)
17 The Spirit(AD) and the bride(AE) say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.(AF)
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll:(AG) If anyone adds anything to them,(AH) God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.(AI) 19 And if anyone takes words away(AJ) from this scroll of prophecy,(AK) God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life(AL) and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
20 He who testifies to these things(AM) says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”(AN)
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.(AO)
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people.(AP) Amen.

Revelation 22:7-21
King James Version
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
