Revelation 22:12-21
New Living Translation
12 “Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. 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. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life. 15 Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne.[a] I am the bright morning star.”
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life. 18 And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.
20 He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!”
Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
21 May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people.[b]

English Standard Version
12 “Behold, (A)I am coming soon, (B)bringing my recompense with me, (C)to repay each one for what he has done. 13 (D)I am the 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,[a] so that they may have the right to (H)the tree of life and that (I)they may enter the city by the gates. 15 (J)Outside are (K)the dogs (L)and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 (M)“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things (N)for the churches. I am (O)the root and (P)the descendant of David, (Q)the bright morning star.”
17 The Spirit and (R)the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And (S)let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the (T)water of life without price.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: (U)if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described 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 (V)the tree of life and in (W)the holy city, which are described in this book.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely (X)I am coming soon.” Amen. (Y)Come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.[b] Amen.
