12 “Behold, (A)I am coming quickly, and My (B)reward is with Me, (C)to render to every man [a]according to his work. 13 I am the (D)Alpha and the Omega, (E)the first and the last, (F)the beginning and the end.”

14 Blessed are those who (G)wash their robes, so that they may have the authority to (H)the tree of life and may (I)enter by the (J)gates into the city. 15 (K)Outside are the (L)dogs and the sorcerers and the sexually immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

16 (M)I, Jesus, sent (N)My angel to bear witness to you of these things [b](O)for the churches. I am (P)the root and the (Q)descendant of David, the bright (R)morning star.”

17 And the (S)Spirit and the (T)bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And (U)let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who wishes receive the (V)water of life without cost.

18 I bear witness to everyone who hears (W)the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone (X)adds to them, God will add to him (Y)the plagues which are written in (Z)this book. 19 And if anyone (AA)takes away from the (AB)words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from (AC)the tree of life and [c]from the holy city, (AD)which are written in this book.

20 He who (AE)bears witness to these things says, “Yes, (AF)I am coming quickly.” Amen. (AG)Come, Lord Jesus.

21 (AH)The grace of the Lord Jesus be with [d]all. Amen.

Jesus Speaks

12 Look, I am coming soon and my reward is with me, to repay each one according to what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes,[a] so that they may have the right to the Tree of Life and so that they may enter through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, that is, the sorcerers, the adulterers, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.

17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears this say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who wants the water of life take it as a gift.

18 I give this warning 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 in the Tree[b] of Life and in the Holy City, which are written in this book.

20 The one who testifies about these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ[c] be with all the saints.[d] Amen.
