13 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 “Blessed are those who do His Commandments; in that the Tree of Life may be their right and they may enter in through the gates, into the City.

15 “For outside shall be dogs and enchanters and whoremongers and murderers and idolaters and whoever loves or makes lies.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the generation of David, and the Bright Morning Star.

17 “And the Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come.’ And let him who is thirsty, come. And let whoever will, partake of the Water of Life freely.

18 “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this Book. If anyone shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this Book.

19 And if anyone shall take away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take out his part of the Book of Life, and of the holy City, and from those things which are written in this Book.”

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
