Jesus Is Coming

⁶And he said to me, ^(E)“These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of ^(F)the spirits of the prophets, ^(G)has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”

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

⁸I, ^(J)John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, ^(K)I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, ⁹^(L)but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those ^(M)who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

¹⁰And he said to me, ^(N)“Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. ¹¹^(O)Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”

¹²“Behold, ^(P)I am coming soon, ^(Q)bringing my recompense with me, ^(R)to repay each one for what he has done. ¹³^(S)I am the Alpha and the Omega, ^(T)the first and the last, ^(U)the beginning and the end.”

¹⁴Blessed are those who ^(V)wash their robes,^[a] so that they may have the right to ^(W)the tree of life and that ^(X)they may enter the city by the gates. ¹⁵^(Y)Outside are ^(Z)the dogs ^(AA)and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

¹⁶^(AB)“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things ^(AC)for the churches. I am ^(AD)the root and ^(AE)the descendant of David, ^(AF)the bright morning star.”
