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.
