The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Then I heard what seemed to be (A)the voice of a great multitude, like (B)the roar of many waters and (C)like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
    the Almighty (D)reigns.
Let us rejoice and exult
    and give him the glory,
for (E)the marriage of the Lamb has come,
    and (F)his Bride has made herself ready;
(G)it was granted her to clothe herself
    with fine linen, bright and pure”—

for the fine linen is (H)the righteous deeds of the saints.

And the angel said[a] to me, “Write this: (I)Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, (J)“These are the true words of God.” 10 Then (K)I fell down at his feet to worship him, (L)but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to (M)the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

        and his bride has made herself ready.
She was given fine, pure white linen to wear,
    for the fine linen is the saints’ acts of justice.”

Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Favored are those who have been invited to the wedding banquet of the Lamb.” He said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 10 Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said, “Don’t do that! I’m a servant just like you and your brothers and sisters who hold firmly to the witness of Jesus. Worship God! The witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy!”
