Revelation 22:12-21
New American Standard Bible
12 “Behold, (A)I am coming quickly, and My (B)reward is with Me, (C)to reward each one as his work [a]deserves. 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 will have the right to (H)the tree of life, and may (I)enter the city by the (J)gates. 15 (K)Outside are the (L)dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral persons, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.
16 “(M)I, Jesus, have sent (N)My angel to testify 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 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 desires, take the (V)water of life without cost.
18 I testify 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 that 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)testifies 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.

Revelation 22:12-21
American Standard Version
12 Behold, I come quickly; and my [a]reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. 14 Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have [b]the right to come to the tree of life, and may enter in by the [c]gates into the city. 15 Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and [d]maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things [e]for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.
17 [f]And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add [g]unto them, God shall add [h]unto him the plagues which are written in this book: 19 and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, [i]which are written in this book.
20 He who testifieth these things saith, Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus [j]be [k]with the saints. Amen.
