14 “Blessed (F) are those who wash their robes,[a] so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs, (G) the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.(H)

Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!(O)
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus[b] be with everyone.[c] Amen.[d]
