Revelation 19:6-9
Amplified Bible
Marriage of the Lamb
6 Then I heard something like the shout of a vast multitude, and like the boom of many pounding waves, and like the roar of mighty peals of thunder, saying,
“Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all] reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and shout for joy! Let us give Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb has come [at last] and His bride (the redeemed) has prepared herself.”(A) 8 She has been permitted to dress in fine linen, dazzling white and clean—for the fine linen signifies the righteous acts of the saints [the ethical conduct, personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character of believers].
9 Then the angel said to me, “Write, ‘[a]Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the [b]Lamb.’” And he said to me [further], “These are the true and exact words of God.”(B)

Revelation 19:6-9
New International Version
6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude,(A) like the roar of rushing waters(B) and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
“Hallelujah!(C)
For our Lord God Almighty(D) reigns.(E)
7 Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!(F)
For the wedding of the Lamb(G) has come,
and his bride(H) has made herself ready.
8 Fine linen,(I) bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts(J) of God’s holy people.)
9 Then the angel said to me,(K) “Write this:(L) Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!”(M) And he added, “These are the true words of God.”(N)
