Revelation 22:12-21
Christian Standard Bible
12 “Look, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me(A) to repay each person according to his work.(B) 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, (C) the first and the last,(D) the beginning and the end.(E)
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)
16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to attest these things to you for the churches. I am the Root(I) and descendant of David,(J) the bright morning star.”(K)
17 Both the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let anyone who hears, say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who desires take the water of life freely.(L)
18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book. 19 And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share of the tree of life and the holy city, which are written about in this book.(M)
20 He who testifies about these things(N) says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!(O)
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus[b] be with everyone.[c] Amen.[d]
