¹⁴ Blessed are those who ^(A)wash their robes,^[a] so that they may have the right to ^(B)the tree of life and that ^(C)they may enter the city by the gates.

²⁷ But ^(A)nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's ^(B)book of life.

³ For ^(A)this is the love of God, that we ^(B)keep his commandments. And ^(C)his commandments are not burdensome.

⁷ “And behold, ^(A)I am coming soon. ^(B)Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

²³ And this is his commandment, ^(A)that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and ^(B)love one another, ^(C)just as he has commanded us. ^24 (D)Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God,^[a] and God^[b] in him. And ^(E)by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

³ And everyone who ^(A)thus hopes in him ^(B)purifies himself as he is pure.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

^15 (A)“If you love me, you will ^(B)keep my commandments.

^7 (A)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. ^(B)To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of ^(C)the tree of life, which is in ^(D)the paradise of God.’

^19 (A)For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but ^(B)keeping the commandments of God.
