Revelation 22:8-15

New American Standard Bible 1995

^8 (A)I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, ^(B)I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. ⁹ But ^(C)he *said to me, “Do not do that. I am a ^(D)fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who ^[a]heed the words of ^(E)this book. Worship God.”

The Final Message

¹⁰ And he *said to me, “^(F)Do not seal up ^(G)the words of the prophecy of this book, ^(H)for the time is near. ^11 (I)Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.”

¹² “Behold, ^(J)I am coming quickly, and My ^(K)reward is with Me, ^(L)to render to every man ^[b]according to what he has done. ¹³ I am the ^(M)Alpha and the Omega, ^(N)the first and the last, ^(O)the beginning and the end.”

¹⁴ Blessed are those who ^(P)wash their robes, so that they may have the right to ^(Q)the tree of life, and may ^(R)enter by the ^(S)gates into the city. ^15 (T)Outside are the ^(U)dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.
