13 (A)I am the Alpha and the Omega, (B)the first and the last, (C)the beginning and the end.”

14 Blessed are those who (D)wash their robes,[a] so that they may have the right to (E)the tree of life and that (F)they may enter the city by the gates. 15 (G)Outside are (H)the dogs (I)and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 (J)“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things (K)for the churches. I am (L)the root and (M)the descendant of David, (N)the bright morning star.”

17 The Spirit and (O)the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And (P)let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the (Q)water of life without price.

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: (R)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 (S)the tree of life and in (T)the holy city, which are described in this book.
