¹² “Look! I’m coming soon. My reward is with me, to repay all people as their actions deserve. ¹³ I am the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. ¹⁴ Favored are those who wash their robes so that they may have the right of access to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates.

¹⁶ “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to bear witness to all of you about these things for the churches. I’m the root and descendant of David, the bright morning star. ¹⁷ The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ Let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who is thirsty come! Let the one who wishes receive life-giving water^[a] as a gift.”

²⁰ The one who bears witness to these things says, “Yes, I’m coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

²¹ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
