Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁸ I am John, who saw these things and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that showed me these things. ⁹ And he said to me, See you do it not. For I am your fellow servant, and the fellow servant of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the sayings of this book. But worship God.

¹⁰ And he said to me, Do not seal up the sayings of the prophecy of this book. For the time is at hand.

¹¹ He who does evil, let him do evil still; and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he who is righteous, let him be more righteous; and he who is holy, let him be more holy. ¹² And behold, I come shortly, and my reward with me, to give to everyone according to his deeds. ¹³ I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

¹⁴ Blessed are those who do his commandments, so that their power may be in the tree of life, and they may enter in through the gates into the city. ¹⁵ For outside shall be dogs, and enchanters, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves or makes lies.

¹⁶ I, Jesus, sent my angel to testify of these things to you in the congregations. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright morning star.

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say also, Come! And let him who is a-thirst come. And let whosoever will, take of the water of life, free.

¹⁸ I testify to everyone that hears the words of prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to these things, 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 part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from those things which are written in this book.

²⁰ He who testifies to these things says, Be it, I come quickly.

Amen. Even so. Come, Lord Jesus!

²¹ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

The end of the New
Testament.
