Because the Lord our God, the Almighty, began[a] to reign. Let us rejoice and be overjoyed, and give the glory to Him, because the wedding[b] of the Lamb came, and His wife prepared herself ”. And[c] authority was given to her to[d] clothe herself with shining clean fine-linen. For the fine-linen is the righteous-acts of the saints. And he[e] says to me, “Write— ‘Blessed are the ones having been called[f] to the banquet of the wedding of the Lamb’”.
