Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

¹² “Look! I am coming soon. I will bring my reward with me, and I will pay everyone back according to what they have done. ¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

¹⁴ God’s blessing on those who wash their clothes, so that they may have the right to eat from the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. ¹⁵ But the dogs, the sorcerers, the fornicators, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves to invent lies—they will all be outside.

¹⁶ “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am David’s root and offspring; I am the bright morning star.”
