⁴ Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not ^(A)soiled their garments, and they will walk with me ^(B)in white, for they are ^(C)worthy.

A Great Multitude from Every Nation

⁹ After this I looked, and behold, ^(A)a great multitude that no one could number, ^(B)from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, ^(C)clothed in white robes, with ^(D)palm branches in their hands,

¹¹ Then they were each given ^(A)a white robe and ^(B)told to rest a little longer, ^(C)until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers^{[a] (D)}should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.

¹³ Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, ^(A)clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” ¹⁴ I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of ^(B)the great tribulation. ^(C)They have washed their robes and ^(D)made them white ^(E)in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁸ I counsel you ^(A)to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and ^(B)white garments so that you may clothe yourself and ^(C)the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, ^(D)so that you may see.

^5 (A)The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never ^(B)blot his name out of ^(C)the book of life. ^(D)I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

^8 (A)Let your garments be always white. Let not ^(B)oil be lacking on your head.

⁴ Around the throne were ^(A)twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, ^(B)clothed in white garments, with ^(C)golden crowns on their heads.

¹⁴ And the armies of heaven, ^(A)arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, ^(B)were following him on white horses.
